Your murals and water colours are so pretty!<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately I <B>did</B> turn away - for 19 years! But now I'm determined to keep going. I was just a child back then, and so crushed. I still don't understand why the person at the college didn't just tell me to practice, build up a portfolio and come back in a couple of years. Oh well, his loss, not mine.<BR/><BR/>This skull drawing was from life, but I took a photo to show what I was drawing.<BR/><BR/>Thank you so much for your compliments and encouragement!Undauntedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11600222853782999884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840948829877300435.post-166900747556285402008-12-05T16:18:00.000+00:002008-12-05T16:18:00.000+00:00I read your profile and admire your determination ...I read your profile and admire your determination in pursuit of making art. Others might have turned away.<BR/>Drawing a skull is very challenging-especially from a photo. The self portrait you did is wonderful and captured the expressiveness of the photo.<BR/>Keep making your art and do what you love and what your passion is. Your gift is your art and it is meant to be shared.<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>LeslieLeslie Rubiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09488233437457394205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840948829877300435.post-3203299734026614522008-12-05T15:38:00.000+00:002008-12-05T15:38:00.000+00:00That would be great!

By the way, hubby called our hosting company so hopefully the email problem should be sorted out now - I'll email you after this about skyping.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your tactful comments about my skull drawing! ;) I've been feeling more confident about my drawing recently so I thought I would give it a go. Thanks for the advice about where to find a skull too! When we were kids my brother used to bring them home from a nearby field - my Mum said it was where the devil worshipers used to sacrifice goats! Just thought I would share that - I have no idea why! :)<BR/><BR/>That's exciting news about your writing class! I hope it goes well and you enjoy it!Undauntedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11600222853782999884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840948829877300435.post-12711412072349631262008-12-05T14:24:00.000+00:002008-12-05T14:24:00.000+00:00Hey Un D!I think picking the most challenging set ...Hey Un D!<BR/>I think picking the most challenging set up is wonderful. It shows you are not scared to take on the difficult compositions!<BR/>Rock on!<BR/>About the skull, they sell fake plastic ones on the internet as well as real ones. I have seen some on e-bay and the plastic ones can be quite cheap.<BR/>Can't wait to see which classes you pick for January.<BR/>I am thinking about taking a class next semester as well. I'm a little nervous because I would be taking a writing class at the college level. I never have done that before. <BR/>Hubby told me we will be in London this spring for about 10 days for his work. If you are not far from London, any chance you would like to meet up?<BR/>LeanneLeanne Piziohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06906128505167788108noreply@blogger.com
