It is really helping me to see everyone's answers. Although I can't believe you are three paintings ahead!!<br /><br />As far as your answer to #3, I would say you already ARE painting wonderful, moving portraits! I scrolled back through your blog till I found some of the portraits and think they are excellent!!<br /><br />I also want to say I doubt Leslie turned the comments off because of your saying anything about the prove you're not a robot thingy. Maybe she was getting some SPAM on there and needs to figure out what to do about it. I haven't looked at or made a comment on her blog in a couple days, so I hadn't noticed it was missing. I'll have to check it out...<br /><br />Thanks for Watching, and I'll be watching you, too!Meredith Adlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15527906823778153381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5322451671253623460.post-29861824936355252772014-01-08T14:15:47.924-05:002014-01-08T14:15:47.924-05:00WONDERFUL post. first of all, thanks for addressin...WONDERFUL post. first of all, thanks for addressing the "prove you're not a robot" thing. I did that on Leslie's blog and she took comments off!!! so I don't know if I upset her, or if there was another reason that she does not have comments turned on any more...<br />Your horse... it's great. Your anatomy is just fine for the kind of painting you are doing. It's not like it's an anatomical study. It is totally horse, and lovely too.<br />The questions: <br />1. i am doing the challenge because it helps keep me painting!<br />2. If on a particular day, if I don't feel like painting, I paint! but if i absolutely don't have time, I have already painted enough ahead that I have a painting ready for the next 3 days.<br />3. What do i really want to be painting? Wonderful, moving portraits!<br /><br /><br />thank you for your questions. <br />i will keep watching you.<br />Mimi Torchia Boothby Watercolorsqhttp://mimitabby.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5322451671253623460.post-61811554461137668362014-01-08T09:16:58.191-05:002014-01-08T09:16:58.191-05:00Thank you, Annaig, for your very kind comment and ...Thank you, Annaig, for your very kind comment and for taking the time to answer the questions. I am so happy to have met you here and seen your own lovely work on your blog. Sounds like we have similar reasons for being involved in this challenge.

The horse and the background complement themselves really well.<br />As regards the questions:<br />1) I'm doing the challenge to force myself to paint more, and to try to improve my painting as a whole. I haven't been painting regularly for a long time and need to get back to work seriously.<br /><br />2) If I'm not happy with my painting, I go out of the studio and do something else, same as Bhavani.<br /><br />3) I want to paint a large variety of subject, busy scenes and serene and empty ones, landscapes and cityscapes, ...Annie Jolivet-Vilboishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04516040188555038474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5322451671253623460.post-6625188917696126512014-01-08T06:07:24.020-05:002014-01-08T06:07:24.020-05:00Thanks, Sharon, I am glad you like the painting.
...Thanks, Sharon, I am glad you like the painting.<br /><br />Thanks for your answers to the questions, too. I'm really happy to see that you are painting what you want to be painting. I'm curious how large you want to go. I guess I'll email you, since I don't know if you will come back to this comment section...Meredith Adlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15527906823778153381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5322451671253623460.post-31252428780873225362014-01-08T05:53:17.822-05:002014-01-08T05:53:17.822-05:00Love the horse painting.

I especially love that one eye peeping out from under that beautiful mane and the wat you can see all the way through the barn to the outside.<br /><br />1 I'm participating in the challenge to also get back in the studio, and to try paintings such as still life which I haven't done many of. I'm also trying to add my fav color or it's complement to my art work.<br />2. So far I haven't had that happen during this challenge although I have one that isn't signed. Usually though I give it a new coat of under toning and start over. But walking away is also good and work on something else.<br />3. I really want to be painting what I'm painting only larger.Sharon L.

Sounds like we are on a similar path with our reasons for doing the challenge. I like the reminder to take a break from a difficult painting, too!<br />Meredith Adlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15527906823778153381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5322451671253623460.post-68923637590294275782014-01-08T04:42:12.187-05:002014-01-08T04:42:12.187-05:00I love horse paintings and yours is really lovely....I love horse paintings and yours is really lovely. My answers to your questions are very similar to yours. 1. I am doing the challenge to paint more, make some artist friends and get more exposure.<br />2.
