nice picture can't afford therapy, I live in Oregon; it's normal to be mentally off here. nice. (did you know mental illness is described as "not being in the behavior rules of the society"? leaves the door wide open.) Like that movie, "Never Let Me Go."

I've been meaning to comment on this since I saw it some time after you first posted it, didn't do it just then and since have been too lazy to go looking for it when I was here, which isn't often anymore. Just now as it came up in the Showcase thumbnail strip I realized if I didn't do it now, I might never. You know I've always hated you because I'm so jealous of your talent, and loved you because you're so very real, which is rare. (and because you always inspired me to strive to do better)
This, I believe, is one of your best paintings, because as a self-portrait I see in that expression the Staci I think I've come to know and love/hate here. ;) Along with being absolutely perfect realism, you've done the impossible "capture the expression" thing... something that almost NEVER happens in a portrait. There's depth in those eyes, something fascinating behind them. Some people see that in the Mona Lisa and say that's why it's so upheld. (One major difference there is that I think she's ugly and you're beautiful, so... ONEUP on that one for sure... hah)

I've looked at this a lot of times and been blown away every time. I just now realized what I like about it most, the way you slightly exaggerated the things a camera does when the shot is a little overexposed and the flash is causing it. How the light shows the details in the skin in a way normal vision would never pick up on. And the corona of color around the iris. And the way the hues of the skin tones are uniformly off. It's a great painting of a 'bad' photograph. That and the killer cupid's bow mouth.
staci (Jun 23, 2012)
yes! you totally get it. this is a HORRIBLE picture, horrible. Bags, blotchy skin and all. if I had a zit that day I would have drawn it in as well. thanks!

I at first thought it was a pc. of meat, but then realized it is a grapefruit and done very well. Love the way you've done the skin on it. Your coloring is excellent, lovely work.
mursku (Feb 9, 2010)
hehe, on one hand its awesome how realistic you have managed to make the grapefruit, but on the other hand it makes me sick how the glistening pieces of the fruit look... urgh
..anyways, two thumbs up for the awesome display of skill

It's been a few days since I've been here so I'm just now catching up on these last few comments. I say thank y'all so kindly! =)

My 2nd attempt at doing a "Kiss" draw......I'm not quite finished with this....I'm having trouble with his hand....I hate doing hands, but I'm trying. I'm not really a "Kiss" fan, but I like the way they look with their painted faces.....that's why I decided to do a "Kiss" draw. I'm posting this as "finished"......I can always work on it more later....:)

Hi "paintbrush"......thanks for the nice comment......I'm glad you like this pic.....I kinda like it too. I still don't feel like an artist yet.....I have a lot to learn, to improve my draws. I'm still an "artist wanna be"...."lol". I can do good on some pics, and I have problems with other pics.......this one turned out ok though. Thanks again for commenting.....I appreciate it. :)
