Thanks..:D

Wow, i love it, great job:)

This was well worth the wait! She is gorgeous!!!!!

I think someone was dropped on their head early on, Donna... no other explanation as to why or how a 40+ year old man could be so ridiculous. This is very nice. The preoccupation with farting and burping is obviously a character trait he can't help. Jillj

Has a nice watercolor feel, touched up with oils. Nicely don Donnagal.

thank you Jill and Sweetcell!!

This ones interesting. Looks like ink laid out on oil.

I suppose you could say that, although the spelling is different and you can leave out the "medi" completely:

o·cher or o·chre (?'k?r) Pronunciation Key
n.
Any of several earthy mineral oxides of iron occurring in yellow, brown, or red and used as pigments.
A moderate orange yellow, from moderate or deep orange to moderate or strong yellow.

Nothing he paints is "medi"ocre.

DBA, how you doing sweetie? Been missing you around here.

I love this! Your style is great! Jillj

That's pretty cool. Solid work Sweets.

I like the art of it. But his left leg is buggin me.. nice otherwise! BAMM!!

Barb, no offense taken, and your comment certainly does not sound mean. I looked at the same view tonight to see if the bottom of the pic was what I might work out. It is actually a striped lot and another streetlight. What if any are your thoughts on finishing..?? Jillj

I think what it is, is it looks sketchy. Especially the streaks coming from the lamp post. If you were to try using blend and just feather those linesout they wouldn't be as stark. Put some shading on the left side of the post for contrast, use the dark green on the bottom to blend into the trees so they don't look like they're floating, and work a little more on the sky it would look more polished. These are just suggestions. I know it's hard sometimes to get critique. I do like this, just needs tweaking I feel.

Hi Barb, I am very happy to get critical comments, especially when someone is willing to help with suggestioins. This is a great way to learn and improve. I really appreciate the input! Thanks! Jillj

Very nice sweetcell! What's his number? lol jk.

I like the feel of this picture :)
I've always liked this style, and the trees in the background look really neat.

As for your comment on the glasses, to me it more seems that the angle of the nose is just a smidge off which in turn makes the sunglasses seem like they're at a funny angle or broken or something.
I think maybe if you adjusted the nose ever so slightly towards his left lens (our right) it would look less "stumpy" hehe :)

Sorry if that didn't make much sense, but I tried.

Good job, though. I really like this :D

No it does make sense HC, the nose in the picture is at a strange angle and hard to capture. I have to try another one of these.

Tankies.

very lovely

Love Jewel! Love this! I hear her version of Rudolf the red nosed reindeer all the time. She's quite the versatile singer! You hit the eyes and lips dead on! =)

very nice

Just beautiful jillj..:D

I love horses, and you did a great job on this one!

Oh My God.. Thanks Rob! Thanks Helena! Thanks Michelle and Thanks Kathi! You have no idea how much I appreciate your looking, your comments, I was beginning to think this composition would not work. I loved the colors in my reference piece, so thanks, thanks thanks and thanks and tanks to Dave too! Jillj

I was reminded of Nefertiti too, Davinci.
Great job on a hard view.

Very striking facial features, interesting drawing, nice! Jillj
