Anne this is a great painting. Welcome to the group. Can you please tell us who’s style you painted this from?
Anne Hale replied
Oops, I forgot to add the style painted in. Thank you for the reminder :-).

Hi mini, thank you for your comment!

Great piece….
Anne you wouldn’t know how to get in touch with Pierre Joubert on the Painter site would you? Would love to have him on Rendo and in our group. I sent Stan a note through the forums and he said he was going to join us but that was a few weeks back…
Anne Hale replied
Hi Zoo. Thank you!
Sorry, I’m not sure how to contact him. He has not been on Painter for about 10 months now, and he has no website information in his profile.
zooreka
Thanks Anne… Thought so – I tried looking him up in the forum but no joy. He only does about 2 pieces a year…. and always great they are too… must take a while for the virtual oils to dry too!!! :)
Anne Hale replied
“Virtual oils to dry…” Good one, Zoo! I’m finding that a lot of the really good artists on Painter have kind of dropped off. A few of the artists have been a bit jaded with the site.
zooreka
Agreed… Personally I am not a big fan of Shahin… wouldn’t mind if he painted something else or real people… but I am afraid that his celebrities are a dime a dozen and one gets jaded with that kind of repetition after a while…. Not that his work is by any means bad….
I guess it’s like everywhere else… garnering up popularity…. Only glad I found folk like yourself, Marcelo, Bev, Cynthia and a few more in the ays when I did haunt the place fairly frequently!!!
Pierre is very talented and guys like Lesley and Jens Munk did some great stuff for relative newcomers to Painter!

I have sent you a Bubblemail. :)

I was admiring this last night and got interrupted before I could comments. It is absolutely fantastic. I am so impressed that this was digitally painted. Seems very difficult to me. (I also wish I had access to that secret orchard – yummy.)
Anne Hale replied 17 days ago
Thank you! Corel Painter is a bit difficult to work with as it has so many different brushes to work with and variances, but it’s fun to experiment with. Large paintings, such as this one, really made my computer crawl. I had to save often in the event it decided to crash on me. I too wish I had access to the orchard. Perhaps one day our lovely neighbours will show us the way. :)
