My Phineas Bloom's Letter painting is all out of proportion and looks completely cartoony and amateurish...I haven't attacked it in a while. I am on the verge of trashing it, and calling that one a disaster! BUT...I feel like it must be worth saving, so I am going to brush and wash and stroke it until it comes to life. It seems I'm a persistent bugger, and do have a "don't give up" attitutude after all. I almost did that with my other two paintings, Lady Cecilia and Lord Rosemont. I was scared to death to paint the sketched faces....did everything but. I had a faceless painting filled with color everywhere but the circular area of the canvas which was to be the face. It was tortuous.
Well, time to head downstairs and pull out my painting of Phinny in her diaphanous nightrail in the glow of candlelight in her bedroom brooding over a letter....story to come eventually.
I'm also working pretty intensely on one of my Regency Romance novels, which after tweaking and tweaking, I read it from start to finish, where I've left off, that is, no where near finished...just beginning really, and I liked it! I wanted to see what would happen at the dinner party where the two opposing forces would meet again, male vs. female. I'll get to that later, too. It has mystery, intrigue, loyal friendships, emotional inner demons to fight and a true tangible enemy on the periphery that brings all together and leads to an incredible discovery.
Gotta go!
Sorry to leave you hanging...but ...stay tuned...sdh
