Just to get the big picture, adjust our perspective is so helpful! (And I agree with Susan, seeing things minimized does that too.)<br /><br />This diptych is absolutely charming. I love that mother and daughter with the big smiles!

Not sure why that is, but turning it upside down, looking in mirrors, backing up... all that... isn't nearly so effective as seeing it small on my screen. Especially if I can put the reference image next to it. Suddenly the veil lifts.

I'm trying for a more casual feeling with the Skype portraits, to convey a fresh, quirky viewpoint, but I still need to get back. <br /><br />Take care,<br /><br />BarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-15367325840867674972009-05-17T15:06:00.000-07:002009-05-17T15:06:00.000-07:00Hi Barbara, for me it's called pacing.But it's a g...Hi Barbara, for me it's called pacing.But it's a great idea no matter what you're doing. I am really enjoying this piece with the mother and daughter. You capture expression and action so well. Great piece.<br />Stand Back, :)<br />EWeldon warrenhttp://eldonwarren.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
