    Very, very nice.  and very pretty little girl.....and you're captured a sad haunting look.  Very nice, once again.  I'm impressed.

  • Thanks Kate... my people all have that haunting look... I paint from the soul and because I've suffered with Clinical depression since childhood I think the pain of that comes through in my artwork.
  • Well, your soul must be of the softest pastels for the faint blonde of her hair and lovely skin colors ...not to metion the flowers (are those yarrow)...cry out sweetness.......Kate
  • Hey Kate... are you by any chance a poet? Your response has poet written all over it. /OT

    OLDTIMER, do you sell these?  Because I'd pay you to do one for me...what a BEAUTIFUL PAINTING....did you have a model to look off of? or just come up with this yourself in your mind?

    It's absolutely breath-taking!!!  I have goose bumps now.  What a talented woman you are!

  • Thanks so much Donna... I did this from a photograph of a little girl in a car ad for Cadillac... I just used her as a model and did my own thing with the painting... I think the little girl in the ad was younger than what I turned her into. Some things come from my mind and others I use a model or a picture of some kind. All depends what stokes up the old creative juices... I paint from my heart. As far as a commissioned piece right now my depression is too out of control to commit to that... I'd hate to say I would and then get paralysed and not be able to complete in a timely manner but we could discuss something perhaps... just cause I like you so much. I'll try sending you another email at the address you gave me... you said you never got the other ones???? /OT
  • No, I never did get your other email. IamWomanLOL@aol.com I was thinking of one of Elvis. And you could take all the time you need. Just give me a price and I'll see if I can afford it. I would pay you well. I like you too, you have always been kind to me, thank you for that.
  • Ok Donna I sent you another email./OT

    Wow, OT! That is a beautiful painting. I've always wished I could draw or paint. Alas, I wasn't blessed with that particular talent. Lucky you!

  • Thanks Liz... too bad we don't live close I'd have you creating. I always liked to show people who said they couldn't paint that they could... it's a matter of finding the right medium. You don't have to be able tp draw perfectly... you may have a sense for color or form. A girl that I lived with in Vegas said that to me and before she moved away I had her painting beautiful water colors. I have one of her paintings on my wall. She was right she couldn't draw but she could paint! /OT

    The artwork you have shared with us has been simply beautiful.  You should have a show in a gallery.

  • Thank you rushlan for your kind words... my apartment looks like a gallery... I have my work all over the walls. When my mom was alive her place looked like an art gallery too. LOL /OT

    You do have a gift OT.  Are you still painting?  If so, what do you paint these days?

    Replies: (list all replies)

  • I haven't done a painting for awhile but lots of graphite drawings. I like to do very detailed work and love to do animals. I took a portrait class a couple of years ago and ended up quiting because the teacher was so into measuring things with some kind of tool it got on my last nerve... so I quit. LOL I paint from the heart... not the tool..LOL I did a couple quick shetches last week but my depression paralyzes me and I can't create when I'm there. /OT

  • Thank you CG... I took a life drawing class at the college here and that was great... we had nude models and were able to study the whole body. I love to draw animals too. I did a series of cat drawings when I was working at the shelter. /OT

    Beautiful, OT!  Who was your model?  Do you show your paintings?

    Replies: (list all replies)

  • Thank you Peridot. My uncle brought me a picture torn out of a magazine of this little girl. It was an ad for buying a car if I remember correctly... it's been awhile. The funny thing is he wanted me to paint it for him and my friend Wanda in Las Vegas ended up with it [I'm not quite sure how that happened??[ anyhow it resides with her in Vegas in a display cabinet and I took this shot with my son's camera when we were there visiting last year... and no I have never pursued having a showing... that side of the business never interested me. I always said I needed a manager to handle that aspect for me but never pursued that either. I have mostly given my work to those who appreciate it. /OT
