I figured it was a suggestion, but when I scrolled down on the challenge and saw a couple people comment on their excitement over doing a "gritty" picture, that's when I began to have second thoughts, as it seemed others were focusing on that aspect specifically! I'm glad you find it acceptable!<br><br />(I'm starting to enjoy things that don't have tons of detail, such as my little dog picture in my header and sidebar.)<br><br />If you want to post it, certainly, since you were so nice about it :) I'll formally email it tomorrow.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12007894027849168750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139619868126136011.post-6634535635319043312010-01-28T19:40:08.601-06:002010-01-28T19:40:08.601-06:00Hi Jessica, You've really done a masterful jo...Hi Jessica, You've really done a masterful job on this painting! You've given it so much feeling and captured what the Ashcan School is all about..."real life". BTW...The gritty urban scene was only a suggestion :) I would love to be able to post it on the Following the Masters blog if you will allow me to. <br /><br />PS - Remember, you don't always need a lot of detail to make a great painting. Sometimes all you need is a pink blob for a dress. ;)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02012299206878937685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139619868126136011.post-21518666503284495742010-01-28T13:22:15.110-06:002010-01-28T13:22:15.110-06:00T'is what us mommas do!T'is what us mommas do!Autumn Leaveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010044052621228719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139619868126136011.post-50035093339740340122010-01-28T12:41:41.549-06:002010-01-28T12:41:41.549-06:00Mom - by the time I got to that boy, I was done wi...Mom - by the time I got to that boy, I was done with trying to find 1917 clothing. I think I gave up on the girl, even.

This figurative piece is very atmospheric. <br />I also love the little Harley cameo on the right sidebar.<br />You'll find that art blogging is addictive - and oh so helpful.

As always, I think it is fabulous and your style is so unique. You've had a style for years and I so wish I could do what you can do, Jess. Awesome piece and truly one to tug on the heartstrings.
