Sharon,
I realize that you are much more experienced in artistic endeavors than I. I won't elaborate on your last post, just suffice it to say that your remarks did not go unnoticed and yes, the tone was rather blunt.
As for the photos, I am to meet with the client this week to go over them. Before I did portraits, I did landscapes and feel comfortable with that venue. I will try to get another shoot if possible with the kids and me. I do get nervous when the parent is looking over my shoulder. If that is not possible, I will do sketches with the references I have. I know that good reference is paramount and can understand your insistance about it. I also like sunny landscapes ala Benson (thanks for the website).
I am not trying to argue your opinion and do value what you have to say. Your career in art is impressive and you bring to this forum valuable insight, hindsight and knowledge.
After taking into consideration your comments, Mr. Fournier's and Ms. Willoughby's (who has also won numerous national awards in design), I hope to have a painting that won't be a "Mom's Surprise".
Sincerely,
|
