I love doing landscapes as well as seascapes so I thought I'd do one for you Sweetcell. I hope you like it. Reference taken from an Anton Gutknecht oil painting (but with elly changes=)

Very pretty, I love the muted pastel colors.

Sweetcell (Sep 18, 2006)

Oh, that's pretty. So like a beautiful watercolor, hard to do in lascaux. Thank you so much for this Elly. What would you like me to draw. (don't say water I've tried a droplet 3 times and it keeps coming out muddy) but anything else I'll try. *smoochies*

elly (Sep 19, 2006)

Thank you Sweetcell! I'm so glad you like it! I won't say water, but promise me you'll try again in the future =) How about a landscape as well? Maybe something you'd see on the other side of this path???? (If that's not what you want to do, you choose something =) *smoochies back*!

I wanted to comment on this for SO long and I waited for wayyyy too long to do so. I apologize. Tonight I was trying to find it to finally comment on it and I had trouble locating it. Which doesn't make sense to me since this is really beautiful and I would totally put it up in a frame in my house. And now I'm just blabbing. Because it's almost four am and I haven't slept yet. So I apologize yet again for my complete incoherence and I'll probably come and delete this post tomorrow because I sound like a blithering idiot.

But regardless. I love this painting.

The Expensive Sunglasses

KuteDymples (Sep 14, 2006)

Just had to try it. The glass part was the hardest. I know they are not perfect, but the best I could do at this time of night. My Reference Picture: http://www.designer-fashion-trends.com/img/sunglasses/chanel-sunglasses-1.jpg

Thanks for all of the great comments! I just thought of something funny, should have put these on the Alien Frill.

Wow that's pretty good. Very nice. (This is Brian btw lol)

DeadlyBlondeArcher (edited Sep 21, 2006)

Unmistakably Chanel, yeah. I always liked the "signature" because it looks like two intertwined horseshoes. (I'm sure that's probably not what was intended)... I think cheap sunglasses make a much classier statement when you can wear them and "pull it off".... but that's the rebel in me. :) I would love to have these.

I think you did a wonderful job on the translucence of the lenses.

Thanks everyone for your comments, I can't believe how long ago I did this. I did sparkle them up a bit. I hope it looks better.

KuteDymples (Sep 14, 2006)

I knew that is why I liked you Elly...YOU ARE WERID TOO! But thanks.

Sweetcell (Sep 14, 2006)

Very wierd and cute. I like weird and cute. To make it truly alien you should remove the nose.

davincipoppalag (Sep 14, 2006)

Now this looks like a mask for your cat

KuteDymples (Sep 14, 2006)

If I had a cat, I would have to wear a mask. I am so allergic to them. I was going to remove the nose, but it isn't worth asking for more space on this one. LOL Just a doodle actually, Thanks for all the comments guys!

The Silver Tree Stands Alone

elly (Sep 13, 2006)

The Silver Tree stands alone....
Gradually it turned from wood to stone.....
The stone they say turned to rust...
They wondered then, would it turn to dust?

Raggedy Ann & Andy

KuteDymples (Sep 12, 2006)

One of my Childhood favorites

Sweetcell (Sep 13, 2006)

I had one of those growing up (but I can't remember if it was Anne or Andy) And I still have a childrens book from the 80's. Thanks for the memories Kute. :)

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Sep 13, 2006)

Raggedy Ann! :) I loved the book, and my Raggedy Ann doll was one of my favorites, although I put her through way more hell than Marcella did in the stories...my Alaskan Simoan dog Snow White ripped my Raggedy Ann's head off in the end. I think we should start calling Marcello "Marcella"... it's much closer to home. :D

I'm glad you did this picture, it brought back lots of funny memories, and you did such a cute job in depicting them.

KuteDymples (Sep 14, 2006)

Thanks everyone for the great comments on these, I guess they are just "Old Favorites" of a lot of people. Actually I do paint a lot of childrens characters for pay but on canvas I do much better than on the net. I am really not half as good as I would like to be. I have painted so many Winnie the Pooh pictures I have grown not to like "The Pooh" much. LOL My favorite childrens characters to paint is Disney, Mickey and Minnie. I just love them and could never paint them enough.

Sweetcell & shults, don't look at the "water", look at the mid-tones, highlights, lowlights, and shadows along with the over all shape. Keep trying though!! You'll get it!!

davincipoppalag (Sep 15, 2006)

Less is more with water and shiny stuff. I still can't do shiny... look at some of Axil's and Annas...

DinoFlorist (Sep 17, 2006)

I think when you draw an eye or a water drop you're selling your soul to the devil!

elly (Sep 18, 2006)

Not if your soul is already sold to higher ground first! =)
