thank you so much for your lovely commen...Hi Frank,<br />thank you so much for your lovely comments. I know what you mean about having the courage to paint over a painting, but it was so terrible I thought I'd give it a try!<br />I don't tend to walk away from a painting that's going wrong - I'm much more likely to work on something too long and ruin it!<br />Your portraits are really great, particularly some of the recent ones. I really admire the freshness and looseness of your style. It's the sort of technique I'm always trying to learn.<br />You are much braver than I am, adding people to landscapes - I do tend to try and keep my subjects simple, and avoid too much detail.<br />I'll be keeping an eye on your blog too :-)Ceccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05324152950303305431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-416592420719546810.post-18170852149635357732010-06-25T10:11:24.656-07:002010-06-25T10:11:24.656-07:00Franny, your painting of Donna was one of the best...Franny, your painting of Donna was one of the best I've seen on Flickr of the Happy Painter, and even now I can't imagine how you summoned up the courage to paint over her in another medium. I could never have done that, rather walk away from it, but you made such an incredible improvement, especially with the skin tones, forming of her face and increased likeness.<br /><br />Like you, JKPP has had an enormous effect on me and brought my paintings along in leaps and bounds, though I've continued to paint in a similar style except for the cheeky one I did of donnaDMC.<br /><br />I've looked around your website and love some of your landscapes, which have such a peaceful atmosphere, devoid of people, which is where you differ from me as I am increasingly putting more people in!<br /><br />I love this blog and will keep looking in on you._Frankb10https://www.blogger.com/profile/18151551321981740679noreply@blogger.com
