Added on Mar. 28, 2008 12:57

It took and age to set out and draw then to bring all the peices together to paint. Yes that me! My favourite painteri Degas. He said 'art is not what you see, but what you make others see'!

What a great idea you put on paper. Degas and his immortal Dancers are my favorite also. In pastel filed he was a magician. :clap: :clap: :thumbup: :thumbup:

I like all french artists of that era, most of all Degas a great user of pastles and Lautrec, he was a great painter and illustrator. It took longer to plan my effort than to paint.

I think it's great putting yourself in the painting that way. I have a photo of myself showing a waxwork Charlie Chaplin my camcorder - I have been thinking of drawing that & putting it on here. I prefer your way though of yourself actually painting. Great!! :grin: :clap: :D

Ok tghis is a little task you paint yourself and say another star like I did Edgar is my teacher ok he is dead but you know what I mean. So you paint say yourself say with a star. It's easy use a mirror for youself and a photo for the star. painting yourself is a way of enabling yourself making you more confindent. I will find a photo of me, my wife and my cat and send it you on your email tommorow it's about 10-30pm here so tomorow. :8)My email is: brianfree@aol.com :grin: :grin:
