Alex, I do like to keep you guessing.

David, after your last one...your compliment means a lot.

Pat....frankly Scarlett, I dont give a d***?

Jean, well it was hard let me tell you...with the pulleys and wires and all.

Kim,
No staid ole self portraits for you girl! You are building quite a legacy. Love the composition and how you handled the drapery. I don't know how you manage to keep getting better, but you do.

Thanks Richard!

Actually, I would like to point out that Ive used myself in paintings, but never considered any of them self-portraits. I feel it just points to intent. Ive used myself only when I didnt have another model available. Im not very patient..if I have an idea I like to get after it. They are just figuratives that will be for sale, not self portraits. Wish me luck finding more models please! And they need to all have straight hair... curls are a pain.

Kim,
You may not think they are self portraits, However,when they write those big art biographies on the famous Kimberly Dow, THEY are going to call them self portraits from the artist with the non traditional view of self portraiture. I love them and so will THEY.

This is wonderful, Kim! (Can I say that this is my favorite painting of yours?) Please don't give up painting curls. And like Alex, I love the passionate reds in this painting.

Dear Kim,

This is my favorite too; such well choreographed passion! This image calls for a memorable score, with its cinematic presence. Kim, I have no doubt you will stun us with your next OBPC entry in three years.

Garth
