My life drawing is done in poor lighting (the easel not the model) and sometimes its quite interesting to see the work in the morning. Best wishes to you both.

Je lui souhaite un prompt rétablissement.<br />Une fois que mon petit commentaire sera envoyé, je vais faire un petit retour en arrière et admirer toutes les oeuvres que j'ai manquées... Tu vas dire que je ne suis pas régulière du tout !!... Il me semble que les jours ont moins d'heures ! (sourire... 🙂🙃)<br />J'aime contraste qu'apporte les nuances de rose avec la belle harmonie de jaune... Des couleurs que j'aime et qui me font vibrer de joie. Une très jolie peinture.<br />J'avais autrefois fait une aquarelle d'un bouledogue. J'avais eu du plaisir.<br />Je retrouve ce régal dans ton croquis. <br />Le dessin de ton cavalier est bien entendu extraordinaire ! J'espère qu'il va être utilisé pour une belle peinture à venir.<br /><br />Je t'embrasse affectueusement et te dis à bientôt ! Peut-être bien qu'un jour, au lieu d'aller à l'hôpital, vous ferez un petit voyage dans ma France profonde où nous pourrons alors faire connaissance.<br /><br />Gros bisous et merci pour ton gentil commentaire.martinealisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04055152925986659065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219763774238571564.post-51783362181743459792017-02-18T21:35:17.779-08:002017-02-18T21:35:17.779-08:00Pink and yellow - optimistic colors.
