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.

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.

Amen to Miss DJ!!! Do some of you realize that Obama has been called 'The Messiah'? I will give him the chance he deserves, but it will take him more than 1 term of Presidency to straighten the mess out. Quite frankly Obama scares me!

Let's all talk again about all this in 2 years. That discussion should be MUCH more interesting for all of us. Anybody feel like drawing?

THIS.
Seriously, guys, we're getting nowhere with this argument at the moment.

Hi QTgillie, The speach McCain made sums up an Arizonan, If you don't learn how to walk easy through the Desert. Trying to win by running and screaming will only bring you to your end sooner. I voted for McCain but oh well let's go ahead without yelling and screaming. America and the rest of the World has been without a goal since 1969. This energy thing might be just the ticket. Would rather it was from private business instead of Big brother Government. by the way can we still say " Big Brother is watching Us " and not be Politically Incorrect ?
