Lovely!

Thanks Bashya glad you liked little Dakota!!!

Looking good Christine!!!

Thanks Rick I used every ounce of patience that I have to force myself to do better on the shading!!!!!

Well it looks good! I just finished the most intense face of Gordon Ramsey. My head HURTS!!!!!!! Gotta do an EZ one next, ha! Gonna email you the 11 step photo thingy I did on him. Post it Sunday. Nite!!

Very nice tutorial and congratulations on your new found profession. Loved it submit it here PLEASE!!!!!!

Yeah? Thanks! I left a LOT out, as I'm sure you know? But ok...I will later. Gotta do a little work today and wife wants me to paint the dining room

Okay Rick go for it you sound pumped up for the dining room challenge!!!!!!! I was painting industrial machines and the walls of the factory and my boss wants a mural for our 100 year centenial celibration of being in business. Construction that is Red Head anchors. Buildings, bridges and anywhere wedge anchors are used.

OMG LOL...talk about a challenge!?!?! Maybe a Navy theme? Patriotic with Anchors!?!?

I was thinking of something like my presidents poster on this site George Washington you can see it here. I want to start by putting the building in the background and then transparencies of the various machinery. It will be a collage of sorts. Mostly design piece. Like a collidascope kind of nutty but it will be an original Morton!!!!!!!

Whoa! Hope u get paid for that!!! Sounds very cool!!!

No pay just pride and happy that I still have a job with the present economy. The boss asked but I told him it is a donation. He will buy the supplies I might have some help because there are a few great artists there at the shop as well. I really love doing the project it will be fun!!!

Hey Rick the one thing I can argue with your tutorial is that no photo is too hard to do if you use imagination. The more challenging the photo the more it attracts me as a challenge. I am a leo and love challenge.

You are absolutely right! For ME, it's a combination of things? Challenging photo WHEN I'm in mood for a challenge, at the SAME time, good subject? I have tons of photos that inspired me, saved up, but when I revisit them, does nothing for me now? Go figure?

Magnificent work Christine

Thanks again I am so happy that you liked my little Dakota!!

Very sweet Christine,you have such a way with children.

Thanks this was a really nice and clear photo and I really tried to use patience to detail the piece!!!

Thanks glad you liked this close up of Dakota it is one of my favorites too!!!

You're welcome! It really is good, very good detail and shading. ;]

Thanks again and I will be watching for more of your work keep creating and come back soon to visit. I know how hard it is to keep up with all the artists here there are so many outstanding artists on this site. I think it is the best I have found so far!!!

i actually did this exact photo once, but it didn´t turn out nearly this good

I am throwing away all rules and just using everything to get the effects I desire. I now use charcoal, graphite powder, pencil watercolor etc. everything just go for it you will love the freedom!!!

Christine this is wonderful - you have captured Dakota's pixie face so quaintly. Your portraits of children are fantastic. Hope you have a lovely peaceful Sunday and that you and your hubby have gotten over all your flus and other nasty things. KEEP SMILING!

Thanks again and keep creating I will be watching for more of your great art work dearJeanz!!!!
