I have been looking at windmills all my life, but I never realized till painting this how interesting the design really is... it's simplistic, but complicated in a way - really a cool thing. Too bad they are slowly disappearing.

(I never would have had the patience to do this in the old Lascaux, the line tool working well makes alot of things possible now)

very beautiful, so soft and tender. I love the tiny detail of buttons..you can almost feel the luxurious fabric of her gown and veil. :)

I did my parents wedding portrait in oil from the early 40's as a gift for my Dad and it was such a pleasure and seeing what you have done reminds me of it

you may have found this online, but thanks for bringing it here for us to enjoy. This brings back a nice lil birdie memory for me. This draw's a smile-maker for sure.

i can imagine the wind blowing through the wires and making them hum as the birds prepare to sleep...

This is lovely, I want the boots and hat :) Hope your hand is feeling better.

Nice job kejo....knew it was yours right away. Now about that hand, quit pullin the ol' stranger for awhile, she'll come around. Had the same problem myself back in 78'...almost broke my wrist......anyway, keep up the good work.

My art teacher made us do an upside down contour line drawing of this abstract drawing by Picasso and it was the most aggravating thing I have ever done. Good on you for keeping it up for as long as you did (and for making it look great overall).

I'm walking out in a force ten gale
Birds thrown around, bullets for hail
The roof is pulling off by its fingernails
Your voice is rattlin' on my window sill
Yesterday's headlines blown by the wind
Yesterday's people end up scatterbrain
Any fool can easy pick a hole I only wish I could fall in
A moving target in a firing range
Somewhere I'm not
Scatterbrain
Somewhere I'm not

Lightning fuse, powercut

mmm, idk...i think its more the detail of the rug, the shadow of the plant, some light source reflecting over the couch, the way he gave the couch such a comfy plush feeling with a few brush strokes...how if you look every line, every stroke, seems almost careless because his eye for light and form is so phenomenal, he doesnt need to second guess or overwork it.

i don't think many people can appreciate how amazing this picture is.

backmagicwoman (Sep 28, 2009)

I do see what you mean..I was just cutting up....the couch does look velvety soft...and i especailly like the vent cover there.....it does belong in showcase..

marcello (Sep 28, 2009)

staci: you answered your own question.

shell (Apr 2, 2010)

nice
