Comments
I want to thank Mel Brackstone for placing trust in me, in order to facilitate my oil painting, translation of her photograph. It was fun and I discovered a style that I really like, in this work.
My sincere appreciation also goes to Jane Brack, who also allowed me to reference her photograph of her children, exhausted, and lounging on top of a historical marker. I had an idea to put them on a roof, “catching stars”.
Each artist could only have one work in this show, since it is such a big one already. Here is my oil, referencing Jane’s children!
Catch a Falling Star

Had Enough!

Oh I love how this one came out Frannie and I love seeing them side by side. What a fantastic painting this turned out to be and what a WONDERFUL workshop. CONGRATULATIONS!!!! YAY….The web ring is OPEN!!!!!!
Yay, we’re open! It’s fun to see them side by side, I think, too. It highlights how one can use the subject of a photograph as a reference and jumping off point, but still create a work that is uniquely one’s own. Thanks, Elizabeth!

I like your translation, Frannie! The way you use those colors ennobles them, and give them a personal air.
Good luck on Sojie 19!!!

Both of your oils were so, so beautiful Frannie! I wish they could both be in the show; I adore those little children!! The final is so expressive and beautiful; very French, in my opinion. ;) Tres Belle.
Thank you, Lily, for this sweet and wonderful comment.
