Break-Up Betty

I like it Skylar , evocative ; well done !

Michael - Thanks so much! I'm usually too much of a perfectionist to show this stage of a piece.

I look forward to the next one. The eyes are already fabulous.

Brilliant work as usual.

Gudrun - Thank you! I always start with the eyes.

Linda - Thanks so much! This is a very ambitious piece - I hope I pull it off!

Super work Skylar.

Margaret - Thank you!

I'm a little confused about this argument over your paintings, Skylar. To my mind you are a digital artist, like quite a few others on this site. It would never have occurred to me that some of your work was "photo manipulation" and I think it a shame that you have felt the need to defend yourself by proving your method of working. However, having said that, I am glad you have as it is very interesting to see. I love your work and hope that you have not been put off the site. With digital art improving all the time I think it can make some people suspicious. Carry on the work, it is beautiful!

Adele - I appreciate your comments so very much. No, I have not been put off. This is still my Favorite place to share my works. I have always identified my digital work, with the caveat that some day one would not be able to tell my digital from my traditional pieces. I think I am there.

I have had a look at your finished painting. Just my opinion which is as subjective as the next person, I prefer this. This has a depth the other one doesn't quite convey. It's probably because this is the result of an immediate response.

Gudrun - I appreciate the input. I almost didn't post the finished one for that same reason. Something was lost in the refinement. Thanks!
