I love the expression on her face. :) And I feel like that too sometimes about my art, but it seems like once those feelings end I am better than I was before. :)Crystal Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06665844725894074136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1995448576763269183.post-91780071484890799492012-09-05T07:48:04.198-07:002012-09-05T07:48:04.198-07:00I think you choose such challenging subjects!

It's quite relevant to how you are feeling!

In my city garden on old woodland I also have a continuous battle with brambles, so I know how your arms will look full of scratches! :) Have a good blog retreat, and don't forget to ENJOY it!

It makes sense to me, like a butterfly emerging. So hang in there, keep plugging away, soon you'll be on the other side and beaming :) <br /><br />This little girl looks lovely xxPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01344072012837774958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1995448576763269183.post-86970193044888312882012-09-04T22:16:48.320-07:002012-09-04T22:16:48.320-07:00I love the photo too.

I'm even doing collage right now just to clear out some of my old paintings that have no hope of ever becoming anything. So, I'm cutting them up and using parts to make a new painting. It lets me paint between the lines and around what I'm applying to the paper. I have an idea where I want to go; but sometimes, I just haven't got a clue where I will end up. It's that time of year where you are and you'll get back with a vengeance when you've gotten all your outside work under control. Best wishes. I like the beginning of this portrait.
