Random Quote

By speech first, but far more by writing, man has been able to put something of himself beyond death. In tradition and in books an integral part of the individual persists, for it can influence the minds and actions of other people in different places and at different times: a row of black marks on a page can move a man to tears, though the bones of him that wrote it are long ago crumbled to dust.
-- Julian Huxley

Giggle

 

This is an example of a painting that almost made it.

I like the work I did on the mouth, and the hair is okay, but the forehead is out of whack somehow and the eyes are too choppy.

Okay... so as I work on my "Vase and Cat" painting that I'm doing at the moment, I'm going to try and bring this thing to life a bit by finessing the eyes and by widening the painting. I like the joy she has, and I can't bring myself to let it go.

The other alternative is to just repaint it. I don't know... we'll see what happens.

ETC: And now later, I've reworked the eyes and cropped it, and for the card, I've added text for the first time.

Does it work? I'll find out if the market likes it.
