I think your frog is sweet and your hand would be in the way its enough the idea the storys told and I think we can see where your going with out the hand! But you sure put a wammy on your face sweetie what a doll! XXXXX

It’d be funny lookin perspective wise. Off the top of my head her arm would have to be very long. I think the place for an arm if any is at about 15 degrees to the upper arm as anyone would lie with the two hands nearly facing eachother or maybe angled towards the foreground a bit too. That’s even tougher to do though and I’m awful at hands so I wouldn’t dream of it. It’s looking good, you can pull it off. Maybe have a sleep.

its wonderful the way it is. wow!

sexy seductive sensuous yearning lovely portrait mimi and a great frog, wonderful trademark origami too – and potatoes? wonderful.
instant fave here. love the expression on the frog.

thi sis so gorgeous!!

i wouldn’t redraw the hand…maybe add some visual texture on the ground the figures are laying on…some stones or sand maybe. you can manipulate that texture to tie the elements together more.

Not necessary to put in the other hand.

If you feel you have to do anything…I like Vincent’s suggestion of adding some visual texture …

Do both

i think the power of suggestion is already in the image… the hand is there already without actually being there :)

you’re welcome :) its a great piece

Perhaps the hand could simply be reaching out to him and not touching him? As if she’s almost found him—almost achieved the love she’s sought her entire life….

ya, i’d keep it as is. the hand is implied. the space between the figures sets up a nice, simple spacial relationship. to add more, I think, would be to unnecessarily fill “the space between the notes”. or as my mentor used to say, “keep it simple, stupid”.
cheers, Mimi. great work as always

See now I disagree with Rob. I don’t see the hand as implied. Perhaps had the left elbow simply been bent faceward so as to at least show the hand with the fingers in a reaching motion it would be more anatomically pleasing as opposed to the whole arm reaching out.
Perhaps to actual artists it is implied, but to those like myself who are not artists but writers I don’t see the connection. It just appears that there’s a beautiful lady lying behind a frog.
I mean mindfully I suppose I could make one distinction of many, but if there’s a message to be made I’m not getting it apart from your explanation.
Not to mention that to me the arm looks like it serves no purpose so you simply excluded it, whereas had you added it in some manner the intention would have been better spent.
Just a thought from a guy….
Peace…

i really like this! especially the figure, beautiful

wow
the frog hes soo cute
the paper bird is so simple
and the girl is full of emotion.

D!

G’day Mimi,

I owe you a HUGE apolgy m’girl and I humbly ask for your forgiveness.

While my powers of observation are usually keen, I did not even notice the deck screws which combined with the shape give away what the item is.

To my untrained eye the artwork on this piece and the link you gave me is extremely good. It’s a shame that people will be treading all over them. 8-)

GB and all success to you.
Dennis

i want to skate now,awesome mimi!!!

I think it looks great like this, fantastic work!

Very imaginative.

This is rad!

That is awesome. I really like it.

Mimi I would like to see her left hand (fingers) pulling the lower lip down ever so softlly in a thoughtful, wanting, desiring type of feeling of I want him closer. Does that make sense?

Nice deck!! (from my son Cal aged 8)
Hey I’m a Mac!! (from his Dad!)
Dont worry about this image, it works just fine!

wonderful idea for skateboard, I love to do a copy of your art for my son birthday with your permission of cause…

omg- i have got to show this to my son- the skateboarding maniac.
you never cease to amaze me

awesome work.just love it as is

oh gorgeous! did you ever rework it?

Hi Mimi, I originally thought these were BookMarks, that would work, no? Lovely, BTW.

A great design just how it is. . .

Super cool decks. i’d never boardslide again. haha. these skate decks bring happiness.

Personally, I’d like to see the other hand gently pushing her hair out of the way so she can see the frog better. Very delicately.

If that makes sense….

In my humble opinion, without the hand is better. There’s almost a sense of mystery with it the way it is..& it’s a little sexy as well.
BTW: You have an awesome portfolio of work.

If I were to add the arm it would have to be under her hair and right hand as if she were looking at her prince in a love struck gaze. Lucky Mac.
