I am often painting whimsical portraits of girls, but prefer abstract to hang in my home. :) I have been trying that style too and it is a lot harder than it looks right!? You have done beautifully.

I love the black and gold and agree with Peggy in that it reminds me of brush painting.<br />As far as your question: they all look great, but I like seeing your ideas outlined like that - and personally, I am drawn to the hills with birds ;) <br />xoxoKristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09492839042151189777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4121433325705239293.post-77799547301899211102012-03-19T10:48:44.567-04:002012-03-19T10:48:44.567-04:00Thanks for your lovely comment on my blog Eva!

Your wheat fields painting is gorgeous, I like the way you've tried your ideas on the photocopies and my favourite is with the suggestion of hills in the distance and a few birds. :)Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14493588973399676979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4121433325705239293.post-61441451606672690482012-03-19T00:07:35.022-04:002012-03-19T00:07:35.022-04:00You did great on your abstract.

Its fun to try out the possibilities, but if you were painting my current home state, it would be fairly easy - just plain old' wheat fields. Nothing else, but they would need to be swaying in the wind. :) I can't wait to see how it turns out.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13419436071625334360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4121433325705239293.post-73095851900934014942012-03-18T18:09:23.136-04:002012-03-18T18:09:23.136-04:00Beautiful!

And for your other WIP, I personally love the cabin and the birds, too, flying over head. Just my 2 cents. : ) I have a thing for cabins! Thanks so much for hosting PPF. I have so enjoyed it. Anything that keeps me "arting" is good. You should definitely go and check out the Book of Days again - there is no pressure to "keep up". You can do one day a month if that is what you can manage. Many people are traveling at vastly different rates.<br /><br />God bless!<br />TriciaTriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01675288859493624611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4121433325705239293.post-56892089214303558552012-03-18T09:02:08.636-04:002012-03-18T09:02:08.636-04:00I'm not normally a fan of abstract work, but I...I'm not normally a fan of abstract work, but I like your work here a lot.
