WOW


Jimmie, Once again, I'm speechless....

Man, You're Too good at this. I tried Pastel, didn't work out for me. I attempted a 30"X60 painting, run out of pastels half way through. Had to abandon the project because of that. LOL.That stuff is Too expensive for me at this stage. Guess I'd stick with my good old graphite for a while.

But then, your work is SOOOOOOO inspiring, perhaps I'll try again when I get a part time job.

Thanks Isabel,

Too bad about the pastels, that was a pretty big project your first time out. I have'nt checked your page to see if you've posted progress there, if you haven't, I wouldn't mind seeing it, that is if you don't mind. You can e-mail me the pic, only if you want.

Thanks again.

haha.... I'm so embarrassed.

To tell you the truth, I chucked the whole piece already. I know I won't be able to complete the painting anytime soon. It'd be a pain to see such a horrible unfinished painting sitting on my easle. I can't stand it.

I'm in deep financial trouble right now due to the delay of my graduation (I failed 2 accounting subjects last samester). Have to start selling stuff on ebay. The bad news is I sold my remaining pastels last week.

Isabel, sorry about the news but keep your head up (because it just gets worse)

I forgot all about the closeups, so here are a few. Thanks.
