I'm only pleased you didn't refer to the "Artists Mother" as my muse would be a trifle upset!<br /><br />Now this is the basic problem for me: when I look at these paintings I wish I could paint like Whistler - and consider doing so. But how boring..it's already been done. I've come so far in my expressionist leanings it would be a travesty for me to abandon all and set off in that other direction. I need to be firm and stay on my own course.<br /><br />I would love to hear of the models perspective. Let me know when you are ready to reveal your work to Neanderthals like of me.<br /><br />I have found that "October sucks" just like any other month - if you let it. Take it from me , cause I know. You and me need to support one another through daily living.<br />You are doing good things and I appreciate it.daviddrawsandpaintshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17431945969048461283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843976962117289186.post-14166616553340264912010-11-08T12:12:28.223+00:002010-11-08T12:12:28.223+00:00And who was it that said chivalry was dead?

(I've been trying to do that for a <br />v-e-r-y <br />l-o-n-g <br />time.)<br /><br />Thanks for commenting over at the croft the other day -- it helped break me out of my annual "October sucks" doldrums.my crofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484071987163894248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843976962117289186.post-33660263223448928362010-11-07T22:29:18.848+00:002010-11-07T22:29:18.848+00:00You girls are so easily swayed by chocolate!

Lost my mojo for painting and have gone back to 1975 to find it again through drawing.<br /><br />Always enjoy your visits and can still hear that cool guitaring of yours calming my fevered brow. <br />You are a woman of many talents!daviddrawsandpaintshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17431945969048461283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1843976962117289186.post-80551942541497072912010-11-06T15:44:21.281+00:002010-11-06T15:44:21.281+00:00Love this series.
