The Plasterers

Once again I am dragging in late.

Wonderful Alex, this should do very well! This painting is certainly worth a 1000 photo's, so that would make it worth more than 10000 words!

Thank you, Beth, you are so nice to comment on this. Especially since I'm VERY anxious about the upcoming conference!

Alexandra,
It takes a true artist's eye to see a beautiful painting in the mundane workings of everyday life. This is smashing! You accomplished some difficult art tasks (like perspective) with a Master's touch. It is a great painting.

[Alexandra Tyng]

Thank you, Richard. I really appreciate your comments!

Beth, somehow I messed up your post. I thought I hit "reply" but I think it got edited instead, and then came up as my comments under your avatar! Then I couldn't get it back, so I deleted it. Sorry!

For anyone who is interested, Beth was saying some very nice things again, and warning me about Garth's wild special effects with photography.

Well, Beth, I cannot believe you don't enter these competitions!

As for Garth's photography, I figure since we have both posted our self-portraits everyone knows what we really look like, so if Garth decides to get psychodelic, we won't have to worry (too much).

Terrific job Alexandra - I love it's contemporary nobility .

Congratulations

[Alexandra Tyng]

Thank you, Linda! I think Wally has a flair for the dramatic and carried off the impression of nobility in his pose, so I didn't have to do much besides paint it.

Hope you enjoy your workshop with Jeremy Lipking. His paintings of rushing water are so exciting and beautiful. I was showing them to one of my students the other day because he's painting a waterfall.
