After I've done the other 4 attempts, I sat and did a fifth :D :D :D Because. A smart-a** told me to combine all the elements I liked in the other four in another one. And the prick is irresistible.
I really like how this turned out and I really need to thank the prick for pushing me to have another go at https://365project.org/ljmanning/etcetera/2021-12-14. @monikozi
@ljmanning Laura, this is the result combining the elements I liked while doing the exercises. I just LOVE how this turned out. Thank you again for allowing us to paint from your photo.
@salza Thank you so much, Sally. I stopped struggling. And I think that is key. And if the ratio is not right, so what? Just go for it. And practice and it will either improve, or you will start accepting it :D Or both.
@monikozi Very impressive end result which I am seeing first. I have to agree with @salza about your skills. Like her I also struggle with what seems to come so naturally to you. I have not seen the other attempts yet but I’m sure they are equally impressive.
@monikozi I squealed out loud when I saw this. It’s PERFECT. I’m so glad you had some fun with my photos. I would love to show this to the building’s owner, if that’s okay?
@monikozi Your package finally arrived today! The painting is even more wonderful in person - I am in awe of your talent. Thank you so much for sending it, and for your lovely letter. Have a great day!
