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'

Kloxboy (Dec 11, 2008)

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.

I agree with you enjoy. I am very disapointed. Wish more people would participate. But.....it is not a very good season as everyone is probabally terriblly busy. Beuatiful entry by the way....is this you? (I assume it is)

Miss_DJ (Dec 14, 2008)

really great texture and lighting

GrooveZombie (Dec 10, 2008)

Very good rendering, I can't pick out anything you'd need to change from this point. I have to go along with the crowd here and say the lighting is handled well.

bette_davis_eyes (Dec 10, 2008)

yes! the lighting is terrific here!
