So THIS is color huh? Just call me old 2-tone, ha! Got your email on the teaching and replied. It's just a 5 week teaching gig I offered to teach on Portrait drawing. Only 5 weeks, 10 hours total. God knows WHO will show up. Offered to public, ha. I'm going to teach them how to draw by GOD!!! Great work her sis!!! TTYL

Yup and I am not done learning myself. So just have fun and try to be patient and for heavens sake don't be nervous you are a natural!!!!!!!

ohh another beautiful work with pastels...great work mam....its really very beautiful and so very sweet.......hats off mam....

Thanks Rupin I appreciate your support!!!!

Thanks Bea this one is much softer in the original but to see it here I had to bump it up some with photo shop 2. Oh well it is much prettier.

Thanks very much happy you like this Dakota!!!

thanks Ihommeloiret I will be gone camping for a week. No internet so I won't be here for a few days. I will be awaiting your wonderful work and will comment in a few days. Thanks as always for your support I appreciate you comments!!!!!

alors bon camping et pour mon prochain tableau il faudra encore attendre

very pretty love the color

Very much better in the original drawing can't get the scanner to define the fine color.

you know I have the same problem with my camera, looks great anyway

Nothing is going to be as nice as the originals, The computer and cameras do not have true color reproduction. Pluss my work is large and when I fuse it together it has lines and inconsistancys so it will never get portrait of the day because I am not a digital artist. I am trying to over come the flaws by using photoshop 2 but it is another skill all together!!!

Thanks so much it is much softer and more delicate in the original drawing.

it looks cute You're welcome Christine

Thanks again!!!

so soft, bravo!!!

Much softer in the original I get frustrated with my scanner it doesn't give the full effect of the finished work not by a long shot!!

yes, i know this, sometimes I can't scan my drawings in the best quality too.

I will be away for a week but when I return ai will be posting again and waiting to see more from you!!!!!!!

WAHOO CHRISTINE!! I absolutely love your colored paintings and this one is awesome and fabulous!! I love it!! Keep them coming. It's just beautiful!! Bravo!!

Hi Jeanette of course it looks much better in person. I always am unhappy with the scans. As they don't give me the subtley they have in the originals.

oh yes superb

Thanks Sofya I will be watching for your work. I will be camping for a week with no internet so be patient I will be back soon!!!

Wow Christine! i love the color!!! Well done!!!!

Of course in the original it is much creamier and softer but to see it here I had to bump it up just a bit with photoshop2 and that took away from the delicacy of the hues.

Gosh you and Rick are so prefect in your art and know so much terminology, i just draw and go bezerk.... but i still think you are brilliant!!!! Must be the water in the US?

I have taken monja art studies and I know Rick is super smart being in real estate he is a people person and very knowledgeable. I have the equivalent of a two year associates degree in art. Not the diploma but the classes taken in Community College.

impressive my friend! impressive!!!

Thanks again I will be back in a week. Can't wait to see your new works!!!

Thanks Claudine this one was much softer on the original drawing doesn't show up here as nice though!!!

The hat tricks of Dakota!

Such a talent for such a young lady. Very nice actress I love her movies just hope her innocense is not compromised like that young Lynsey Lohan she has begun to let fame and money spoil her innocent charm. God protect and keep young Dakota Fanning!!!!

Christine these last Dakota Fanning are all beautiful,she is blossoming into a very pretty girl.Excellent as always!

Oh Chris this means the world to me for you to say that. I sincerely am grateful to have your friendship you have been a friend almost from the beginning of my gallery here on Stars!!! Thanks so much!!!!!!!

Your welcome hope all is well with you!

Tres attractive portrait very captivating and always this magnificent glance kisses!!!!!!!

thanks I appreciate your comments please come back soon i am starting in watercolor for a bit but will continue in my favorite medium which is graphite. I have limited time to devote to art since I am still full time employed. Thanks again !!!!
