This is an example of a painting that almost made it. ![](gallery/cards/giggle_almost_gallery.jpg) I like the work I did on the mouth, and the hair is okay, but the forehead is out of whack somehow and the eyes are too choppy. Okay... so as I work on my "Vase and Cat" painting that I'm doing at the moment, I'm going to try and bring this thing to life a bit by finessing the eyes and by widening the painting. I like the joy she has, and I can't bring myself to let it go. The other alternative is to just repaint it. I don't know... we'll see what happens. ETC: And now later, I've reworked the eyes and cropped it, and for the card, I've added text for the first time. ![](gallery/cards/giggle.jpg) Does it work? I'll find out if the market likes it. |
