About My sister Ellen, from a grade school photo....a labor of love...pencil on Stonehenge paper, and then scanned, the result is much better in person, still it could be much better. I included the photo that I worked from in the comment section....I am NOT the photographer of that photo.

I am going to do this in oil pastels and maybe I will post that when I finish. I've been working on art projects that I had intended to begin when I began my love affair with photography. I had no idea that photography would seduce me away from my first love, and it will always be a favorite love of mine. But I am now working on other forms of art. I'll be going to Mexico soon for my nephew's wedding and hope to get some great pictures while I'm there, in the meantime, I will continue to look in on your work and post too...A great Sunday to all. Big hugs!! :)

Pero que buen retrato es este!, es un dibujo o el efecto está maravillosamente logrado. 7/7!
Felicitaciones!


Linda Bique   {K:73856} 4/27/2008
Thank you dear Julie for your kinds words and encouragement. I know it can be better, and hope to improve over time, like a good bottle of wine, right? I would have liked to have more detail in the eyes, but the photo was so old that it was difficult to see any detail...she and I were very close...big hugs to you!! :))


Linda Bique   {K:73856} 4/27/2008
Muchas gracias querido Gustavo, I'm glad you like my drawing. Yes it is pencil on paper, and a scan into the computer. When I originally started photography it was so that I could take original pictures to create art, but then I fell completely in love with photography. It's good to finally put pencil to paper or brush to canvas, but photography will never be far from my heart! Thank you for your always kind support, it means a great deal to me...big hugs!! Linda


Gust@vo Sch3v3rin   {K:116995} 4/27/2008
Vos viste que yo estoy explorando el terreno de la pintura, el collage, el dibujo además de la fotografía, por eso me complace tanto ver este trabajo. Bravo y de nuevo 7 para vos!.

Un abrazo!

Oh yes art I do love it and well I'd like to be able to paint or draw good. Nice image. I like it.


Saeed Al Shamsi   {K:47515} 5/1/2008
So you are a double artist :) I too love the art "paintings" but unfortunately not that good my tries ended to ugly sketches: thanks God that I’ve griped the camera long time so to work with it as my brush :)
Lucky you :)
Hope that you have the opportunity to take some photos while
you are in Mexico.
Have a nice and safe strip
Best whishes
Saeed


Alison Du Flon   {K:35642} 5/1/2008
Amazing drawing Linda, you are a great artist, it is very hard to do people. I really love what you have done. Have a good rip to Mexico. Alison


Linda Bique   {K:73856} 5/1/2008
Thank you dear Saeed...your brush with the camera is the BEST!! Someday I hope to be as good! I will tell you though that they say you have to do a lot of drawings to get past "ugly"...haha...thank you for your good wishes...and a good weekend to you...a hug!! Linda


Linda Bique   {K:73856} 5/1/2008
Thank you kindly Alison, glad you like it!! Have a great weekend...:)
