Thanks glad you liked this one I am trying to do white on black still working though and will be doing more!!!

 Jeanette - 29/08/09, 05:54 reply
Dear Christine. I have to be honest, I like your old style much better. This turned out much too dark. and the skin tones are not right. This is not your style. No offense, I know you said you were trying something new but that's just the way I feel. I hope you do another natural portrait of Ted my friend. May he rest in peace. :hi: :hi: :blowkiss:

 Christine - 29/08/09, 07:25 reply
Thanks Jeanette but I am still learning hope to make it better soon. I love doing the reverse of the black on white. Using the highlights is very interesting and fun and fast I might add.

 Jeanette - 29/08/09, 16:19 reply
I beg you Christine, please go back to your old style. No offense tut this looks like a dark caricature. :( :(

 Christine - 29/08/09, 22:38 reply
Don't worry Jeanette I will do Ted the way you like and I will dedicate it to you. I am going to keep experimenting because it is through mistakes that we learn. Don't be afraid to try other mediums and colors and the graphites are great too. Just have fun this is not a profession and we are just having fun here!!!

 Jeanette - 30/08/09, 01:52 reply
I'm sorry. I don't mean to offend you. I know you are trying something new and that's up to you. Thanks for your wonderful friendship. You are very dear to me. :blowkiss: :blowkiss: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hi: :hi:

Thanks Anne I guess Jeanette does not like it . I promised to do Ted for her my old way. I guess she is afraid a bit of change. I love to mix it up and will be trying lots of new things. You never know what will develope. I would love to do some digital art too. I am working up courage for it!!!

 ANNE-MARIE35 - 29/08/09, 22:54 reply

This might sound funny, but i can sense USA mourning, the Kennedy's were your Royal Family! Its sad that an era has come to an end. A wonderful Tribute Christine! :hug:

 Christine - 29/08/09, 15:01 reply
Not funny at all and this is our Royal Family. But we still have Caroline and for that we are all grateful. This family has had many tradgedies through the years but still we love them I am glad you see how much we all love the Kennedys!!

 Biggs - 29/08/09, 15:08 reply
Ofcourse, i myself was very shocked about the sudden death of John-John and also Jackie, she is such an icon and her fashion sense mindblowing! To top all that, the Kennedy's are/were all really very beautiful people! inside and out!

 Christine - 30/08/09, 01:20 reply
Yes a lot of tradgedy in the Kennedy family. They were great risk takers and not afraid to stand up for their beliefs. that is what they will be remembered for sticking to their faith and the good they did for society as a whole!!

 Biggs - 30/08/09, 11:52 reply
Amen to that! :whip: :thumbup: :blowkiss:

very cool ! love the shadows , really cool tehnique :) it's way too beautiful :)

 Christine - 29/08/09, 15:05 reply
Hi sweety, yes I too am still learning this technique and hope that in the future I can improve. I used to have a great mentor who said you shouldn't compete in art but there is one person you can compete with that is yourself. So I try new things and hope for the best. That is the only way to improve by making mistakes and going on. God bless you thanks for your support.
