My first Portrait Party




So my first portrait party exchange went well. I love having a time frame and set subject matter. When left to my own devices I tend to procrastinate and scrap the painting half way through as my enthusiasm wanes. I painted Paul Brown and he painted me, we decided to paint in similar styles so we choose to do oils and keeping the look in the same era. I painted Paul in the style of Frans Hals and he painted me as the girl with the pearl earing. It was really a great experiece but the waiting for the trade rendered me quite impatient! I have included the painting from both of us in whole and the detail.

RESPECTED KRIS
YOUR WORK OF ART, YOUR WORKS OF ART, YOUR BLOG.
THEY LEAVE ONCE AGAIN IN EVIDENCE.
THAT THE ART SUMMONS UP LIFE WHEN IS SHARED.
THE ARTISTS WE HAVE NOT ONLY DESIRE BUT THE NECESSITY TO COMMUNICATE OUR ART.
IT DOES NOT MATTER IF WE ARE ACCEPTED OR REJECTED.
THE IMPORTANT THING IS THAT OUR ALIVE ART.
AND IF THE ART LIVES,
THE ARTIST EXISTS AND IF THE ARTIST EXISTS
ITS NECESSITY OF EXPRESSION HAS BEEN SATISFIED.
NOT TOTALLY IT HAS BEEN SATISFIED,
BECAUSE EVERY DAY ARISES A NEW NECESSITY.
WHILE ARTISTS EXIST THE ART WILL NOT DIE.

I WOULD LIKE TO USE SOME OF YOUR WORKS IN MY BLOG OF ART, IF ME DAS THE AUTHORIZATION.
