Unusual request, not a picture of a violin but on the violin. Very excited about this idea. But now I can't stop thinking of how to paint a tub of marg!Jackie Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18344677229001312105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181260093005129105.post-7163553014085018852008-12-23T16:58:00.000-08:002008-12-23T16:58:00.000-08:00The red dragon is so very elegant and beautiful. ...The red dragon is so very elegant and beautiful. I think my favourite though is the first one :) Everyone will have a different favourite, as we are all individuals. But each painting is exquisite in every detail. You're sooo clever that I believe you could paint a tub of marg and make it look attractive!<BR/><BR/>I hope the publishers are happy, and a very Merry Christmas to you and your family.<BR/><BR/>Kim xKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15696026498050233726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181260093005129105.post-28777948006056916852008-12-23T09:02:00.000-08:002008-12-23T09:02:00.000-08:00Sometimes a scene looses power when you have to re...Sometimes a scene looses power when you have to redo it often, but in this case I must say that the third attempt is perfect.<BR/><BR/>I liked the "fierce" Dragon, but the composition of this last painting is so wonderful. there's more space for the eye to wander, and the Dragon has got a very elegant pose. I know exactly how hard it can be to fit a whole dragon into a page without it feeling cramped!<BR/><BR/>What I wonder is, do you show you sketches to your publisher? Or even just the beginning of a painting? I usually show all my pencils sketches down to the preliminary sketch of a painting so they can tell if there is something to change before I actually paint all the details?<BR/><BR/>Even so, I often get remarks about changes once the painting is completed... grrr.<BR/>So far the worst was the current book, I had to redo two paintings completely but the guy doesn't want to pay me? *sigh*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
