Your first????? It´s very seducting and the decent colours are marvellous!!!!!! And the forms are so robust, great start, great work!!!!

Artist Reply: yes, and we had to mix our own black, I was not savy so I would mix a little bit of black, then had to remix over and over and get the same color of black, lol. I learned a hard lesson from that. Thank you for such a nice comment. I think the more I paint though the worse I get!

Someone is full of talent..you are very gifted Katrina!...keep it up

Artist Reply: Thank you very much! I have been keeping it up, you can tell by the green paint in my ear..........not sure how it got there, the red on my new outfit which it black, and by the way I dress most the time, lol, one guy I flirt with at the grocery store when we run into each other thinks I paint houses! lol At my age? I don't think so.

Good work. Perfect shadows.

Artist Reply: Thank you, I had a good teacher although he said "if you want a picture, use a camera not a brush" That has always stuck with me so now I make sure there are brush strokes in all my work but I still don't leave as many as other artist I have learned from.
