NO! Not good LUCK. You're supposed to say break a leg or a finger or a tooth or something. It's bad luck to say good luck. Actually, I don't believe in luck at all, so I have no idea why I am telling you this. Um, thanks for the compliments!

For the size limit you had to work with, you were able to share more through this limited space using the color and form that you are most familiar with..the composition you have used through the placement of your subject and with her environment works nicely with the format of this frame here. Keep it up: )))Thanksss for sharing...

Thank YOU for being so descriptive in your critique. I really wish that I could post the other 6 as they are finished but the gallery prefers that they are seen for the first time on opening night. I will post them all as soon as I can. Thank you again for always being so supportive of my art and my faith!

It's certainly understandable since it would be great for you to keep it till the opening, so now we have something to look foward to when you are ready to unveil the other 6: )))And thank you too for your kindness and also support: )Keep up the wonderful creativity: ))))Have a blessed day brother: )

Fantastic, as per usual.

I think it'd be hard to give up my artwork. With photography, it's easy. But I think giving up paintings would be hard.

bryancollins In reply to mariathepirate [2007-09-29 16:31:46 +0000 UTC]

Yes and no. It can be hard, like letting go of a piece of yourself, but to know that someone wants it and wants to have it near them is an amazing feeling. Every time I sell a piece it is excitement and sadness all wrapped up into one, but I would rather the art be spread about the world than to just hang on the walls in my house for only a few to see.

Thank you. It was a challenge to work at that size, but now the 8"x10" I'm working on seems huge!

That is a very beautiful painting, I really like the concept too. Your style is almost like watercolors done in acrylics, love it! Good luck with your show!

bryancollins In reply to katat0nik [2007-09-26 23:50:53 +0000 UTC]

Interesting comparison between the watercolors and acrylics, because I actually painted with watercolors before painting with acrylics. I guess I just carried the style over a bit. Thanks for the compliments.

Ahh, that's cool! I've been learning to paint with oils and I find myself carrying over my watercolor style as well.
