Speaking about my photo, I am one of those who is never satisfied with a photo taken of herself...so I set myself up in the RV bathroom mirror (at Thanksgiving - no doubt) and thought not to look straight at the lens..and not to have my arm showing - holding up the camera. You have no idea how many times that shutter opened and closed looking into the mirror that day. I am so pleased with the outcome - because the photo was a little fuzzy, but Victoria did such a super job!Pattie Wallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04133673088793154979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2637510915464986506.post-68651687936220948402009-01-09T05:01:00.000+09:002009-01-09T05:01:00.000+09:00Hey Victoria!

In fact, it took quite a few photos to get it that way(the others were goofy and the lighting was terrible). <BR/><BR/>I have no idea what Pattie was looking at but this pose sure has a way of getting people to wonder what we are looking at, HA! Maybe you should ask Pattie? <BR/><BR/>Thank you for your encouraging comments. I do focus on color and shapes when I paint. But when I draw I focus on line, shape and value.Victoria on Okinawahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08346904466487742164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2637510915464986506.post-67580284656793074882009-01-08T16:06:00.000+09:002009-01-08T16:06:00.000+09:00Hi Victoria, thank you very much for your wonderfu...Hi Victoria, thank you very much for your wonderful comment about my painting of Karin - it is much appreciated.
