It's always cool to hear other people's imaginings--that sounds like a sweet, but almost bittersweet, story. I need to go visit your blog and see what you've been up to!amy abshier reyeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04829034177342755305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6339657211091953691.post-21524823787889787172009-02-09T17:12:00.000-06:002009-02-09T17:12:00.000-06:00These paintings are beautiful, I love the girl's expression Her eyes shine as if she has tears in them, perhaps she sees someone that she hasnt seen in a while...Im imagining a solider coming up the path...<BR/><BR/>Lovely as always!~Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01162985502341523594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6339657211091953691.post-10662356142827134122009-02-09T13:33:00.000-06:002009-02-09T13:33:00.000-06:00Thank you Sarah and Christine! It's too bad we all don't live closer--it would be so much fun to visit each others' studios and peek into all the corners! Or do some sort of collaborative project--I think that'd be killer.amy abshier reyeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04829034177342755305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6339657211091953691.post-56512340377445926102009-02-09T13:18:00.000-06:002009-02-09T13:18:00.000-06:00I love both paintings as is..you have a beautiful way of using light Amy! <BR/>I felt the same way with my photography and models. I wound up using people I knew as I was too shy to ask plus I didnt want to spend the money. I think if people saw your work they'd be lining up to volunteer. Perhaps a note at your local art center/college with a link to your work would help recruit models.Du Buh Du Designshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15957053984168145151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6339657211091953691.post-89435976714831858122009-02-08T19:55:00.000-06:002009-02-08T19:55:00.000-06:00She is beautiful! I love her plaid shirt. And those clasped hands are so delicate. I can't wait to see the paintings when they are complete.sarahblankhttp://sarahblankstudios.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6339657211091953691.post-52909434555332791542009-02-08T16:46:00.000-06:002009-02-08T16:46:00.000-06:00Thanks Kelly!<BR/>I think you're probably on to something--I know several painters who are likely in the same boat.
