ReplyDeletePart of my distraction from fear of flying series.
So fine. And what a great way to be distracted.
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful distraction not only from flying, but everything else. You really do have such control. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteHere's a take that might be a little different: when football and baseball uniforms are this kind of blue and white, I find 'em so boring that it makes me angry. But you make the same colors pop, as well as flattering your subject.
ReplyDeleteHint to other wannabe art critics: when you don't know what you're talking about, compare something to sports.
Yes, what a great way to do your art while traveling.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised by how much I like this. I never would have guessed the medium could be so malleable - at least to my untrained eye.
ReplyDeleteOK. Here's the truth - I usually don't like I-pad drawings, but the art..ART in this and the last I-pad post (ArtRage) are amazing!! Beautifully done.! And magnificent pastel and charcoal sketches! Wow!! I could go on..
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ruth.
ReplyDeleteFor me, it works ; so does reading.
Thanks, Linda.
ReplyDeleteDrawing in a plane, with unpredictable turbulence, is the opposite of controlled.
Thanks, Banjo.
ReplyDeleteI have never become angry at color combos, though sometimes I am astonished in a not-good way.
Margaret, the iPad has such potential to lighten up what I schlep.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Paula.
ReplyDeleteI also I am surprised and delighted.
Thanks, Dan.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the feedback. I haven't been following the growing body of iPad work. I probably should check more of it out. The same way it is good to be familiar with other artworks from the present and past.
When I saw this my first response was Warhol. Either as something he would of made or a likeness
ReplyDeletePA, I hadn't seen Warhol--the likeness--before, but now I do.
ReplyDeleteThe woman was actually much older than I drew her, maybe in her 70s, and very pretty. Pink and white.
I like this...definitely doesn't look like a 70 year old though!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Chieftess.
ReplyDeleteI do much better than a plastic surgeon.
I thought of Warhol too. There's a resemblance. Very cool. I love the blue.
ReplyDeleteBanjo, your comment cracked me up! I'm not sure your hint would work for me as I know as much about sports as I do of art, which is to say, not much.
Thanks, Susan. I am seeing Warhol too now.
ReplyDeleteSusan, I think Banjo's got a good idea, though sports wouldn't be my go-to comparison, either.
About color choices--I don't think about exciting v. boring, or at least i haven't in the past. I am usually working so fast that I am barely thinking at all, just reaching for something that seems to work.
