Hi fa..thanx so much..
yep..it’s a big buoy…yes, rubbing the pastel to smudge it…i actually remember now using a bit of white acrylic too, to highlight the buoy
frozenfa
ahh!! for the top and right hand side? love it!! hope you don’t mind me being fascinated with the buoy instead of the girl.. hehe.. i love her, but i love the textures on the buoy.. maybe cos it looks so nice and big and i think i can swim to Oz with it… kekeke…

Janis Zroback
Janis Zroback
As I have said before your work is chock a block with wit and wisdom and not many of us are able to imbue our art with these qualities….she is the 1920s, and she is now….she has no worries except whether she should take that plunge as she knows that she looks wonderful in her new striped bathing suit that accentuates her figure so well….her hair is done…dare she get it or the new suit wet? Wonderful Karin….
Karin Taylor
replied
haha!! oh – i love that this inspires a story to bounce right out back at me from you Janis!! how cool is that :D thank u!!
yep, what will happen to her pretty brown curtained hair (just as i once wore mine as a child)...without the kiss curls tho (well only for ballet concerts if you must know :D)...if she dives in, all that composure will be lost, but the refreshment must be worth it…the water looks so inviting, and you can feel the heat coming off the cement… :D
Shanina Conway
lol! She’s amazing…love her bathing suit;)
Karin Taylor
replied
thank you so much Shanina :D
Arletta
There is one thing that mars the enjoyment of this for me, which is that the ‘x’-eyed look is traditionally used to denote death.
Otherwise, this is adorable!
Karin Taylor
replied
thank you Arletta, yes, someone else has said that to me, but honestly….
i drew this never knowing about such a thing, until my attention was drawn to it…so it was never meant to denote death..only cuteness and sweetness, it was done before i ever learnt how to draw eyes :D
thank you so much :D
Paola Jofre
Very cute Karin!!!....love your choice of color and texture :)

She is gorgeous. I love the oversized life buoy framing her. I hope after she dives in she smiles…cos she made me…smile I mean!
Karin Taylor
replied
i’m sure she will Natsky, she’s just feeling overly flushed and pink…due to the steaming hot day…but the cool blue water is sure to get a smile happening :D so happy she gave you one too…thanx so much!!! :D
