I think I would have to say ...Wonderful work Lily!<br /><br />I think I would have to say I prefer the top painting. I like the reflection and I also like the vertical stripe along the side. It seems to move my eye through the piece. The color also seems to be more vibrant.<br /><br />I do like the painting below as well. There is a change of feeling that I get from this one. Almost as if it takes place outdoors, with the pastel tones or brightness of sunlight shinning throughout the piece.Brad Miedemahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03519216206704470961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1866364795698948562.post-79498570814549255562011-10-01T12:57:28.612-04:002011-10-01T12:57:28.612-04:00I think the top painting is more interesting, with...I think the top painting is more interesting, with the sharp reflection and the thoughtful expression. However, I understand if you, the model, prefers the bottom painting, with it's slight smile, it may be more flattering and more pleasing with the additional flowers, like a greeting card.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1866364795698948562.post-17605844006168938352011-03-23T06:36:29.192-04:002011-03-23T06:36:29.192-04:00I will be posting yet another revision soon.

The plus part that needs to be attended to is to have a place that you can show your stuff and advertise that you will be there. The hotel that we stayed at was very supportive to us. The Great Lakes Plein Air Painters are having an outing in Traverse City in September. I hope to attend that one.Lily LaFollette - Earthy Visions LLChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06208357510412338210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1866364795698948562.post-76713148340286155462009-07-26T22:00:32.454-04:002009-07-26T22:00:32.454-04:00Wish I could have been there too!Wish I could have been there too!Lynda Schumacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05770249962267325853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1866364795698948562.post-5769491466434671522009-07-22T06:38:13.003-04:002009-07-22T06:38:13.003-04:00This was truly an invigorating adventure!

The best part was that you could pursue your own adventure during the day and gather in the evenings with the other artists to see what they were up to.
