Finally I finished this assignement!   But once again I used rough wc paper. Not a good choice. Makes painiting hard.   I also mangaed to create short legged and tall torso figures!   Part of the learning process I gather?

Fruhulda,

I really like this pastel.  You achieved good depth between the grass in the foreground and background.

Excellent. 

As for the people, they are just wearing long jackets in my eyes.

[MaryAnne Long]

Fruhulda,

I have never heard that expression before. "like cotton around my heart"  Do you know its origin?

It's a lovely expression.

  Lovely painting Fruhulda.  You did a great job. The man in my painting looked like he had Anorexia Nervosa.  Patricia

[fruhulda]

Thank you Patricia.  I think Dennis said that you can put meat on the figures. Did you forget that?

[Happychappy]

Fruhulda, knowing me, I probably didn't even hear Dennis saying that.  I get so engrossed with the job at hand that I don't hear/see anything around me.  Art has a way of doing that to me.   Patricia
