One more day and 2006 will be over. I wanted to share a couple more art work before we wave aurevoir and start the New Year with a blast.
I did the first painting during the week, it reminds me of the street vendors in Haiti, I love how the colors blended so well. I wanted both ladies to have different facial expressions.
The 2nd painting I did today, it wasn't easy. I got annoyed with her hair color, I tried to mix the yellow with another color but it wouldn't blend. I had to do some adjustments, I think it looks better as you can see on the second pic, more like a before and after. I feel the man needs more work, he looks tired, lol. That's the fun part of painting, you can go back, change the colors, the texture and feel of your work without any guilt. I wish it could be like this in real life.
If you had the ability to experience 2006 all over again, what would you change?
Some people see things as they are and say "Why."
I dream things that never were and say
"Why not."

No need to draw like me Lyrically speaking :P , you've got a style all your own :)And your painting also tell a story. You just gotta remember that the story(or idea/theme) always comes first.. your emotions and/or feelings will then be transmitted to your canvas.
Well.. that's about as "deep" as i'm gonna get on the subject ..haha..
Happy NEW Year!!!

Ps-may i say that you live in the best city in the world... (i love NYC)
Keep painting. If I could change one thing from 2006...I wouldn't.
I loved reading your poerty too..hope to see you writing some, in 2007.
It would be wonderful if you could write a poem, as a companion to one of your paintings. I hope you don't mind the suggestion.
(Just thinking aloud, I guess. Maybe, I should change my habit of doing that, in 2007...)
That answers the question, I guess.
Take care, and Happy New Year.

Blessed New Year lyrically speaking! I've enjoyed your poems and especially loved those stories that you've written...I can't remember the title but I remember the story! And I'm really glad that you're starting to paint again. I like them very much, especially 'Thick Madamme'. That one is really good. Hope to see more of your paintings this year (2007)!
happy new year
warm hugs
Continue to inspire and to be inspired, sis...

In answer to your question...
"If you had the ability to experience 2006 all over again, what would you change?"
I would change how the first half of 2006 transpired, yet... the pain and trama of Life experienced did walk me to where I am today, and this... I will not change. I am Grateful...
Joyous & Prosperous New Beginnings to You Miss Dela...
In Love & Peace

I wish I could paint half as well as you do. I think your colors are fine--keep at it!
BTW Am I supposed to send a permalink for the Gratitude Wednesday anywhere? I wasn't sure...but I sure had things to be happy for!:)
the quote - i thought it was einstein's???
Your paintings remind me of William H. Johnson's work. I love the colors! So, can I get the family discount for one of those paintings? :)
Thank you all for stopping by, and I hope you enjoyed New Year's day.
