..wish I had the patience to do this kind of perfection:

Some Facts about my approach to art

1. I do not like to paint men. I'm not a lesbian.. I just find women to be more shapely and creative with their body. Men are very straight up and down.. I rarely find a ref photo that shows a man in an unusual or "sensually pleasing" [in the visual sense] pose... i dunno.. i'm hunting. Its mostly the same with Photomanipulations. But my vincent manips are an exception to this rule

2. I am a messy artist. I like to see the strokes, but at the same time, i envy those artists who can smooth our their portraits to a flawless end. I'm still working on that part, because i want to perfect my technique... one daaaay!

3. I love scenery. Though sometimes i lack a decent background for my subjects, i really do think about how i might make it look more moving or effective with a beautiful background to finish off my foreground peeps.

4. More than any other kind of paintings, i LOVE to have people essentially in my picture. I'm just drawn to the idea of a beautiful princess or some kind of being.. be in the picture to create a scene of some kind. perhaps there is a couple and they are in love, or maybe it is a woman who is lonely - or insanely happy.. so many ideas in my head - its just a matter of getting them out.. but yes.. my item of choice will always be a figure first.. scenery later. [you should see my stock folder! ITS FULL OF PEOPLE!]

hmm.. well thats all i wanted to say.

I dunno why i was lead to tell you all this.. but.. hmm.. let that be a lesson to you for not asking me before lol

got a question? ask away.
