I love it. The simplicity, the details in the coat, the beautiful expression, the economy of line, the horizon and that flash of blue. There is so much to say about this piece, so many subliminal messages you're sending. I can't stop looking at it!!
The dining table, well, economy of space might just be an inspirational tool.. :D
Really liked your drawing a lot. I am writing also to say I liked it better when you had your face on the blog not just your eyes. Anyhoodle. I'll talk to you later.
i really love this and it breaks my heart a little bit too :( moving and beautiful! i really love your little avatar too it touches me deeply and makes me think of my ratboy :)
Damn, that's a cool effect drawing on the paper. Very nice. And the lines on the face very gentle but beautiful. Very cool. You are so bloomin' versatile in your techniques.
Great rendering! You conveyed the feeling of bittersweet sadness with the downward baby blue stroke and pale pink lips tied together with the paper bag. Excellent!
P.S. The story you shared on my sugary entry was disturbing, but it made me and the guy I married laugh very, very, hard. I plan on telling it to everyone I meet regardless of the situation. Job interview? Poop story. Christmas with my grandma? Poop story. My best friend's wedding? Oh you better believe everyone will hear the poop story when its time for me to give my drunken maid of honor speech. So, THANK YOU for that ;)
i like the take you have on the theme of sugary, very deep. Its also interesting to see you chose the paper bag to put the image on. its such a visual quality in all. great stuff.
aw dang laurel, a sugary illo based on heartbreak. that does it, me too!!! beautiful and evocative piece...i'm so sad for all the girls and boys that get suckered by sweet talk.
gee i missed alot already.. this is a very cute and sentimental post 8) and yeah promises promises.. they are meant to be broken.. *sigh* tho im corssing my fingers on something.. hehe..
well my new watercolor is up tho i know i need to practice more hehe..
Yeah! Your dining table seems given you inspiration for creating something different from your usual painting! I like the sentimental feel of this drawing, lovely style!
Gosh, that's goooooooood! Incredibly touching piece. So full of raw emotion. And the words are perfect. Minimal, but just enough to make you think of all the things that must have gone on. WOW!
I also enjoyed reading about your visit with Sketched Out! I LOVE her stuff! But I also love yours, so I've given you an award over at my place. Have a wonderful day.
Look at you go on your dining room table!! I love how this illo looks on brown paper. Sort of reminds me of Toulouse-Lautrec. I'm also enchanted by the evocative words that accompany this poignant image. Your studio is inside you!
I really like that.
