I've chosen three of the paintings I did a while ago with Suzi Blu (I did two of her workshops). This one was part of the 'Piety and Passion' class (Tudor/Elizabethan influences). I spent yesterday making a few changes as I was never keen on her hair (see below).
I also changed her skin colour and dress...I'm happier with her now. I love her skinny neck and long face :-) This is a mixed media piece really, as all the embellishments are real.

Then I spent some time improving Maria's nose and lips.....

Finally I worked on Luana - my alter-ego ;-) I tried to improve her nose as well, as it looked rather like an onion before.

I couldn't do anything about her over-sized eyes....but I'm happier with her now.
I'm also going to enter my Gritty Jane doll, the Stef Francis piece and one of my fabric weavings. Fingers crossed they're accepted......

I love it all Linda. Elizabeth looks very regal and I like the idea of mixed media art pieces.
I love the colours of the Stef Francis piece.
Good luck with everything.
Linda, you are one talented girl!
I took Gritty Jane classes a couple of years ago, too. What fun that was.
Good luck in February. I know you'll have great success!

Oh wow loving the changes to the paintings and love all your other wonderful craftings. You are sure to do well. x
Good work Linda, you have made improvements to all of these and they will look great in the exhibition.
First off...let's just get one thing straight....
YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH AND SO IS YOUR ART
O.k. now, that said, we can move on....LOL!
All three paintings are wonderful! I am totally amazed that you were able to move the first ones hair and redo it! How did you manage that? I like it both ways, but do think your changes are good ones. The coloring is better, and I too love her long neck.
The others too are truly gorgeous and the changes you have made have only improved their beauty!
Well done! I am sure those who come to the exhibition will love seeing them.
The other pieces you are entering are fabulous too! And your gritty jane doll! I made two of those as well and love them.
I wish I could go to your show and oooh and aaaaah over your art in person. Some day : )
Hugs,
Terri

What fun to do an exhibition! Oversized eyes and an onion?.... no way! my eyes on my babes are always huge...I love big eyes...and yours are not nearly big enough for me...hahahha... but, I do love your ladies. Some day I should take a Suzi Blu thingy.... it looks like fun.
And...you know I love your Jane dolly.... she's great.....
Linda these are magical.
Fantastic paintings. I love them all. xoxo
I much prefer the first painting now that you have altered her hair. Lovely choices for your other entries too. Good luck with them
They are all just awesome. And YES they ARE good enough! I love the last one with the big eyes the best.
The paintings have got more going for them now that you have touched them up. I think they were great before as well but now they are really looking good. I am sure you will get accepted. Shall cross everything for you. Good luck!
Your changes to the first one take it to a whole new level. It's stunning. I wish you great success. You have earned it!
Oh blimey crikey these are just WOW! Linda you go from strength to strength ... there will be no justice in the world if some of these aren't accepted. Go you!
you're back
Yippee Yay!!
Your artwork is SO show worthy...I still adore the lovely Luana notebook you gave me...I shall treasure it always!
oxo
p.s. can't wait to hear more about the Feb Art Show!
Sorry to be so late in wishing you good luck. Hope that your work is accepted.
P.S I have always loved your gritty jane doll!
Dont know what happened to my first comment? I am so impressed how you can rework some of your art pieces. You are so clever!
Good luck with the entries. Hope Peachy is behaving himself and is mouse free. Ronnie has taken to lying over my feet in the heat. Not the coolest thing to have a 20 pound cat on my feet in hot weather!
Lots of love to you.

Best of luck with the exhibits Linda -these are just stunning. Your faces are so perfectly formed and dreamlike. Yet each is unique with a depth of character. Just the best!
Linda all of your pieces are wonderful!!! Good luck with the exhibition...it will be so exciting for you.
