Their faces were difficult to paint. I think it was because there were two of them and I tried to get them to look at each other---well---close enough. I also had to sweep over the whole thing with a light wash so their faces wouldn't stand out so much. They looked like a cartoon Disney character. They still do kinda---I don't want that. HMMMM...maybe I will do an encaustic beeswax overlay next time for that really weathered look. I act like I know how to do that.

Martha, I love your work!
You mentioned a post or two ago that you are trying to develop your own style so that it doesn't look too much like Kelly Rae's. Well, you have done it. This is just gorgeous and, I think, you are developing a beautiful style of your own.
You have really given me hope that even if we start out copying someone's techniques and styles, we can quickly move on to our own style as long as we keep trying.

Kim,
Thank you so much!! My friend Lori above has told me that too. It's nice to hear! I'm trying. Now they might look too much like Paulette Insalls! I love hers!
