I never knew any of that. And I do think you are picky because that is what makes you the artist you are...I feel so lucky to have two of your paintings!! The other night hubs and I were sitting in the tv room and you know our Dillon has had surgery and is slowly on the mend...so we have been feeling very dear about him lately. Anyway Dave looked up at the painting and said how much he loves that painting of Dillon. I think its the third time he has spontaneously said it...the portrait of Dillon stares back at us as we sit there every night, and it is just such a beautiful rendition. I love your cow painting and I think it is so cute in your kitchen!! I wouldn't want to sell it either~I know you aren't being braggy, we can love some of our stuff!! I feel that way about my tiffany blue chairs that I had to take home to live with us. I just loved how they came out. Sorry for the long comment. I also think its pretty smart and beautiful about adding ashes to a painting.

I am so glad you took the time to explain to us all how a giclee print is done. I have several of them in my house and always wondered how the reproduction was done, they actually turn out looking gorgeous and like quite realistic duplications of oil paintings. <br /><br />People used to not be so "freaked out" about the idea of death and having relics from the departed around, I speak in particular of the Victorians who would wear beautiful, intricate "lace" woven out of loved-ones hair and then wear it as mourning jewelry in a glass-framed brooch or necklace. The sentiment may be lost on many modern folks, but it's actually a lovely way to remember one who has passed on, much like your use of the ashes in the painting. I've told my friends when I pass to cremate me and toss me in the ocean, but to be sure the sun is out and the surf is up and really rolling that day! As an alternative, I'd love to be incorporated into a painting of the sea, much like you did for your friend.The Sterling Cherubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01067220137311888258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984817437506915739.post-32456383917190941442013-01-22T21:09:22.514-05:002013-01-22T21:09:22.514-05:00Cindy....somehow you always choose the right title...Cindy....somehow you always choose the right title for your paintings that fit so perfectly. Like Clairebelle. Couldn't be better! She's absolutely beautiful! I loved hearing about the way you prepare and photograph your beautiful paintings. It was really interesting! And the way you incorporated that sweet woman's ashes into the sand in my favorite beach painting was absolutely brilliant. Heartfelt, memorable, poignant, and just brilliant. ♥ You continue to amaze me, girlie!

She's such a lovely bovine and you have brought her to life.<br /><br />I love hearing about your painting and creating process. There is a lot more to it than meets the eye. Your paintings are truly beautiful and I feel so fortunate to own one. I love my dress print and she will follow me back to NC where she belongs. She will be packed up with the kitties and off we will go!<br /><br />I also think that's very touching about the ashes in the painting. What a wonderful way to honor and remember a loved one.<br /><br />hugs<br />SissieSissie's Shabby Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01142205878984008123noreply@blogger.com
