Easter Rose

elly (Apr 11, 2009)

I came across these roses not long ago. They're called "Happy Flowers" I think...they've figured out a way to dye them (like they do to carnations) but in multi color! I think they're so pretty...in an odd sort of way. The perfect "Easter Rose" I thought....Have a Happy One!! =)

S'cuse me, I do that all the time.

backmagicwoman (Apr 10, 2009)

Yeah, I know..but at least your'e a self proclaimed asshole..so it's no big surprise when you do...

IdaLee (Apr 10, 2009)

You guys have all gotten so caught up in this personality clash that you haven't even noticed what an amazing job Flubbles has done on this portrait.

shell (Apr 4, 2010)

So a year ago all this went down. The next time I say something rude I won't feel as original.

nice picture can't afford therapy, I live in Oregon; it's normal to be mentally off here. nice. (did you know mental illness is described as "not being in the behavior rules of the society"? leaves the door wide open.) Like that movie, "Never Let Me Go."

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Apr 3, 2011)

I've been meaning to comment on this since I saw it some time after you first posted it, didn't do it just then and since have been too lazy to go looking for it when I was here, which isn't often anymore. Just now as it came up in the Showcase thumbnail strip I realized if I didn't do it now, I might never. You know I've always hated you because I'm so jealous of your talent, and loved you because you're so very real, which is rare. (and because you always inspired me to strive to do better)
This, I believe, is one of your best paintings, because as a self-portrait I see in that expression the Staci I think I've come to know and love/hate here. ;) Along with being absolutely perfect realism, you've done the impossible "capture the expression" thing... something that almost NEVER happens in a portrait. There's depth in those eyes, something fascinating behind them. Some people see that in the Mona Lisa and say that's why it's so upheld. (One major difference there is that I think she's ugly and you're beautiful, so... ONEUP on that one for sure... hah)

Teapot (Jun 23, 2012)

I've looked at this a lot of times and been blown away every time. I just now realized what I like about it most, the way you slightly exaggerated the things a camera does when the shot is a little overexposed and the flash is causing it. How the light shows the details in the skin in a way normal vision would never pick up on. And the corona of color around the iris. And the way the hues of the skin tones are uniformly off. It's a great painting of a 'bad' photograph. That and the killer cupid's bow mouth.

staci (Jun 23, 2012)

yes! you totally get it. this is a HORRIBLE picture, horrible. Bags, blotchy skin and all. if I had a zit that day I would have drawn it in as well. thanks!

Would?

KryosDion (Mar 31, 2009)

You have some great proportion. Your first sketch is rock solid and all work refining it just makes it better and better.

spyra (Apr 1, 2009)

Mmm... This is really hot. Love the textures and details in the face.

shell (Apr 4, 2010)
