Day 71
Remember the portrait I did of Lisa, 69/100, with the white face and multicolor hair? This one is kind of the opposite approach: white hair and multicolor face. My husband asked "What do those people think of those crazy colors?" I said by now they all know they will get the unexpected.

Voting closes on Sunday night. If you haven't reviewed portraits 61-70, please scroll down on my blog (you'll have to skip over the abstracts) and choose your favorite. YOU ARE THE JUDGE. Email your choice to carolnelsonfineart@comcast.net.
Speaking of judging, it is harder than you would think. I haven't seen one single art show where I agreed with all of the judge's choices. I recently judged a show for a local art guild. So many excellent paintings had to be passed over. If I were to judge the SAME show again, I probably would have some totally different choices. I tried to apply the same artistic criteria to each painting, but they don't all appeal to you in the same way. A painting is more than a display of technical painting skills - there's an undeniable emotional appeal that will make some works tug at you a little more than others.

Quack, quack. (Your husband!)
Connie has such gorgeous hair!! I know what you mean about the emotional appeal, Carol. That is how I react to all art; always strikes me at the emotional level first. Skills and rules just don't seem to apply with my tastes in art. Not that I don't occasionally notice those too! LOL
Carol! I am loving seeing that the practice makes a result... your work is growing before our eyes.
Great for you!!
Outra pintura muito realista!
Gosto muito... Parabens
