I can see some illustrative qualities in this painting, there seems to be an emphasis on brilliance of color, which a certainly a hallmark of Rockwell's style. Coloring black and white photos is a fun process, I particularly enjoy it myself. Rockwell painted from b/w photos through a good portion of his career, ones that he painstakingly composed himself using neighbors and friends as subjects. The composition in this painting certainly works and fits the subject matter, this was a good photo to paint. The two figures are looking in nearly opposite directions which really opens up the painting. Good work and thanks again for entering.

Very nice drawing QT it must 've been a true challenge turning a b/w photo into a color painting. I think it is a big pity we were the only two who tried our hand at this contest.

notice please, Axil and Flubbles the common denominator in both your statements. It isn't the 'pukey' or the 'bird' that's offensive to the hearer of the comments, it's the OLD.
Silly insensitive, tactless men. Will you ever learn? lol

Axil62 (Dec 30, 2008)

We're sorry :(

Flubbles (Dec 30, 2008)

Being of a certain age your more likely to know these things miss :p

Some parts I'm very happy with the outcome, other parts I want to erase and never do again.
Not sure if it is Rockwelly enough, probably not, but at the beginning I thought the facial expression was fitting.

Very nice job, great shading. Everything seems to 'pop'

A very cute child indeed. The bold, blue eyes are what drew me in first, they're really district against the slightly warm-toned, white skin. This piece seems to catch that randomness of life and facial expression, she looks like she's in mid-thought, as if something just occurred to her. The painting style is rather bold, I can certainly see some of Norman's influence in that respect. Well done Joyce, thanks again for entering.

Now that's good. That peel looks absolutely real

GrooveZombie (Dec 10, 2008)

Lawdy. I can't really say anything specific about this, because everything is so phenomenal thus far. I'll echo davinci though and say the skin is particularly good.

Makes me want a grapefruit right now.

I agree Axil, you are the greatest! Excellent, excellent, excellent! (Claps hands!)

montezmaria (Jan 12, 2009)

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
