Just Off My Easel


Beethoven,. A commissioned piece I have been working on.

Love it Christy. Especially the hairstyle - he wouldn't look out of place out in the street in 2008.

He does look strangely modern, doesn't he?

I did that to Young woman with a Pearl Earring too. Retro classic.

I don't know wtf I am trying to say.

Actually, I love this work, and fortunately I get to keep it since the one who commissioned it rejected its size. She loved it too but needs him on a larger scale.

I am glad too because the more I look at the actual canvas the more I adore it.

I guess he is still for sale, but for now hes mine.

Did I just make up a new art form...?

Retro Classic.

Hmmm.

Christy,

I like this one too. You're really coming 'into your own' so to speak.

I have to admit that I think he looks like a cross between my husband and my brother in law (when they were younger).

Odd since I know you've never seen their pictures.

It's the hair and the eyes--maybe the shape of the mouth. I think if you were to go look at Nolie's pictures you'd see a little bit of her in his eyes or mouth too.

I definately see parts of them in that face though.

Maybe it's my imagination. Go look and tell me if I'm wrong!

Christy...for sale for how much? Beethoven & I share a birthday...I'm thinking it might be nice inspiration in my practice room.

This is a smaller work than my normal canvases.

12 by 16 inches (roughly the size of notebook paper).

For you V, how about $30?
