mum's latest


This is the painting that I produced as a result of Greta's workshop. I don't know if it's finished & I don't know if it's any good, but I know that I thoroughly enjoyed the process. I can't seem to take a good picture witout any glare that doesn't alter the colours. None-the-less, here it is. It's 20x24. Comments & constuctive critique is welcome.

wow mum - awesome! so proud of you for trying new things like this! makes me think i should be more brave. in fact, i think i might try hot (bikram's) yoga next week. terrifying. don't worry, i won't post a photo of me doing it though.

aw - thanks Katie (it was Katie that left that comment wasn't it?) I had to google "hot yoga" - yikes - sounds like torture to me! Dress lightly, drink water & stay safe! Um... why DO you want to try that anyway? I'll look forward to hearing your after-thoughts. Love, Mum

mum, i think this greta product result is a big step forward. you're already painting more losely and confidently than before. the compisition is interesting, good use of colors in the shadow areas, not too much white in the colors, a nice absence of detail in the not important parts. keep going like this and they'll start looking really expensive!!! aww, kate, that bikrams yoga thing makes me want to be more brave and bungy jump in new zealand or something. tee hee heeeeeeee!
