I was all ready to take my wee parcel off to the P.O when "The Critique" aka "DH", (and I don't mean Dear!), asked to see what I had done...........Grrrrr...........
This man has an eye for perspective and an even keener eye for MiStaKeS, &#!* So here I was thinking I had done a beautiful take on Van Gough's 'B i A' only to have it crit'd to pieces. Now I know he means well and I actually appreciate his input as I learn so much from it, But, It always seems to come when I think my masterpiece is brilliant!
Back to the drawing board I skulk, muttering to myself, armed with instructions, brush & gesso and "The Critique" close behind.
I could see an improvement once I had finished re-working a few lines and scrubbing a few more. It was much better..........
It is still a great deal less than perfect, If I had wanted perfection I would have photocopied the real thing. It's quirky, wonky, shabby & chic and it is my own work.
She stepped back to take a look at her finished piece and she was Pleased!!!
(The colours in these photographs are not as bright as the real thing)

Clare this looks fabulous absolutely fabulous....as my son would say "you should be well chuffed1"
It's fantastic, although I'm betting I would have loved it pre-critique! Tell DH to get his own moly (she says in jest)
I like the glimpse inside a room/life - and I picked the Van Gogh reference before I read this.
It just arrived Clare and it's gorgeous. I love your artist's eye!
Glad you like it Jan..........I hope Tracy does! She has been quiet.............. R U OK Tracy??
