Ladies of the Week.....

Before you even look at these, I'll admit, I better take a photography class. I just can't seem to get the color right. but look anyway (grin)

I feel really, really good about my Quan Yin (Kwan Yin) painting. The Chinese symbols on the left are Peace and Love. This was my first attempt at doing a crackle/aging technique, and I'm really happy with the results.

Here, you can really see the crackles and antique look.


And this tart-looking lady showed up for my class yesterday. Inspired by my favorite Mucha paintings. Doesn't she have a "come hither" look? Sooo much fun to paint~ ...oh, and note how much better my hands are!
