After I did my last pastel painting, I was so hooked, I wanted to paint another one. And this one became a great source of mirth! Originally, I had two women sketched out, both of them sort of a little bit off the page.
Then I decided I didn't like the second woman and wanted flowers, probably because I had walked Winslow that morning and admired all the beautiful camellias in our neighborhood. So, I left this woman as she was and finished the whole little sketch.
and called her DOA (dead on arrival), a reference to my love of crime shows and murder mysteries (and I hope I'm not offending anyone with this). That had me laughing all evening. What can I say, we just sometimes have a "different" sense of humor.
When I showed it to Daniel, he really liked it, and then promptly turned her on her side...

She's a keeper and up (actually, on her side) in my studio - makes me giggle every time I look at her...
CONGRATS SILKE! On the blog feature!!!
And I do love the DOA....definitely *my* style of humor......LOL!!
XXOO!!
