I find faces so difficult to get exactly how I want them - on more than one occasion I have thrown away my original reference piece so that I don't have the opportunity to compare them anymore and just enjoy the new painting by itself!Chantalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787763615530294753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308419741401177812.post-59328348750351815412011-11-20T00:06:48.634+11:002011-11-20T00:06:48.634+11:00What a gorgeous painting, Anne!

Thanks for the birthday wishes you left on my post, and I think our raspberries must be an early variety, but I am not sure, I got the canes from our Community garden a couple of years ago, and they have really flourished this year. Loving your chookies, aren't they the funniest little creatures!! I love ours!

I love the way you painted her dress, I know how hard it can be painting fabric.<br />I would be over the moon if I could paint that well, you really are very talented.<br /><br />Love the pics of Stripey, what an innocent looking face, hehe......<br /><br />No wonder your dog is trying to get in on the act........your home made bread sounds delish.
