Maybe that's how I can like this painting. I don't feel entirely responsible for it, but it does feel like it's mine. Thanks for your kind thoughts.<br /><br />Take care,<br /><br />BarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-50360829325945398352009-08-30T19:35:08.316-07:002009-08-30T19:35:08.316-07:00Hi Gwen,

Sometimes it looks great upside down, and still wrong right side up. I like the painting too, for no particular reason. Thanks for being a kind artist friend.<br /><br />xoxoxoxoBarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-33739157043542087832009-08-30T19:31:31.067-07:002009-08-30T19:31:31.067-07:00There was some artist, I don't remember his na...There was some artist, I don't remember his name, a sculptor I think said the beauty in a piece of art lies in the distortion. Hmmmm, don't know why that stuck but it did. I believe it to be true.<br />Eldoneldon warrenhttp://eldonwarren.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-34126268270228249652009-08-30T13:38:03.460-07:002009-08-30T13:38:03.460-07:00Wonderful color and emotion in this, Barbara!

Gives her lots and lots of character.I know symmetry is supposed to be the ideal, but I find asymmetry to be much more interesting and appealing. <br /><br />I do that upside down thing too. Isn't it funny how "what's wrong" just jumps out?Gwen Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16393643552813213700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-60635608409156690552009-08-29T22:40:02.129-07:002009-08-29T22:40:02.129-07:00Hi onpainting.

I'd like to see your work too. <br /><br />It turns out that every rule we were ever told is just someone trying to figure out how to do it. It works for them. We need to discover what works for us.<br /><br />Take care,<br /><br />BarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-80181879217836858972009-08-29T07:20:29.824-07:002009-08-29T07:20:29.824-07:00ah, my favorite kind of day.
