Nick Adams, I forgot to say I love your brown painting with the animals. The light especially is wonderful!!!
Here is a portrait of my former boyfriend that I drew. It was a great pleasure to draw it because he had a beautiful face in my opinion.

Thanks. I didn't know who Rothko was, so I googled him. His color choice and placements are interesting.

Sweets, you are good. With craft and passion, you could have made a career out of it. But it's never too late.

Thanks Nick.
For those who are interested, here are some more by me:
A portrait:
Another portrait (this was supposed to be Sarah Michelle Gellar):
A drawing about a French singer:
And a painting that I did not finish (it was all green, and I had trouble to paint the background...and...maybe I was a little lazy too
I understand, Frenchie, that you don't think this last one is quite finished but, to me, there's a quality of magic in it. Thanks!

Sweets, you definitely have a talent for drawing and painting. Keep up the great work.

Wow Sweets! You have a delicate touch. Did you sharpen your pencil or switch gauges while working on the first portrait?

hey this is cool! I like who the different shades of green swirl around. I saw a fountain like this in Provence once.
Thanks Kiz! I would just need time to draw more. Ah, drawing/painting is soooo relaxing, I love it.
NickAdams, thanks! I always work with only one pencil, and then I use my fingers too, in order to make the shadows and such. I need to wash my hands a lot in the end.I am not sure that answers your question though, because I am not sure of what 'gauge' means in this context.
Sleepy, this is a nice comment. Who knows, maybe the fountain you saw was this one? I have thought again about the legend attached to it, and I think it was about 'healing' blindness.
Hmm, having a real down day my friend called to comfort, after the standard "what do you call a sheep with no legs joke" (cloud is the answer, and always makes me smile) He told me to start drawing something. I drew the girl first, deliberatly unproportionate, then having cheered up, did the second one, which is more realistic. I love working in pen, and i appologise the poor rendition.
My mom challenged me to draw us in twnety years time. She'd be sixt and I'd be thirty something. She loved it!
This drawing of mine is memorable. It's dedicated to my parrot, Paparotti, and I sent it to our newspaper and got published! I even won first prize! Talk about lucky parrots....
Love the name of you parrot, "Paparotti".. and your drawings too!!
Sweets America, I love your portraits, you did an amazing job. And you painting is nice as well. Keep drawing!
Reccura, I just saw a drawing (Actually I think it was a painting...) that looked almost exactly like the one of you and your mother at my school in my art class! It's like deja vu. Anyways, it's beautiful.I really like it.
My recent drawings:
I drew this in class and was amazed- I've never drawn a portrait as well as this before and then went home and decided to try and paint it, the product is below it.
This one didn't turn out as well as I hope-
Another portrait I did in the middle of a class today-
Again- I drew this in class, I was bored and so I opened up my textbook and drew the first person I saw:
A study of hands, I did not do in class, lol:

Wow, SweetsAmerica, you're so good!!! I envy you...
You too, AdoreroDio... keep it up!
And Recurra... I wonder, which newspaper was that? Maybe I could try sending some of my best artworks there too.
Goodness, you make me insecure! Right now I'm having second thoughts on whether I should post another MCsR of mine or not...

Wish hard enough, I could turn it to what I like.
Fall Out Boy, "Tiffany Blews."
All four are apx A4 in size, but here's to saving space, charcoal study of my own hand, made to look like a workers hand. (I was working with the theme of heroic realism)
These are just wonderful!!! I love the details and how real it looks!
