Hold your breath

OK, I wanted to show you this because I really really like it. And I'm hoping you can click on it and see all the wonderful texture as I have tried to leave it large. Texture is what I was inspired and challenged to try this weekend. I have always liked texture but we just keep smoothing and smoothing and blending and blending. This texture was allowed to dry and was all ready for me this morning.

But here the deal. I'm showing you because I think or I feel that I am about to do something drastic to this painting that I really really like. OK, it's just paint ......right?

Expect a difference,
Sharon

ps it is a 10 X 20 canvas

  8. I'll be jumping back to the computer for the rest of the day to see what drastic thing you want to do to this gorgeous painting... Sand it so that you lose the texture? Just kidding, I know you won't do that. But what????? Can't wait to see.

  9. Sharon,
    It is AWESOME! I did enlarge it and I do LOVE the texture, the expression, the colors . . .
    I love all of it, can't imagine that it could get any better but I will also be checking back with curiosity.

  10. Go for it!!! YES, it IS only paint!

    Not that it isn't fabulous and lovely the way it is... but I believe in letting little Robin make a mess and do what she's compelled to do. So I say... do it!

    Pat sent me over here. Yay!

  13. It is gorgeous, I cannot wait to see what else you will do to her. Don't you just love playing with the paint? I know I've screwed up a couple of pieces by "playing" too much with them...

  15. Wonderful texture Sharon. Nice painting....the way it is and I know whatever Norah tells you to do with it,it will still be fabulous. I love texture... and don't forget that you can always add some texture by adding bees wax.
    Now...about that blue stuff?

  16. Great texture Sharon, I love this page... interested to see what you and Norah have planned!

  17. Just gorgeous! I love the strap falling down and her expression and the softness of the colors and the textures...shoot, I like everything about it! Great job!

    I have a really hard time painting textures too. I started out tole painting where you blend until everything is smooth. Now, I tend to overblend everything. I love texure and I'm getting better at leaving a little. Maybe soon I'll leave a lot. :)

    Have a great Sunday! I'll be checking back to see what you add to Lady Blue.
