Here is my third nude for class. I'm somewhat annoyed with myself because her head is too big. But considering where I am in my art studies, I guess I shouldn't be too hard on myself.
I want to thank all of you who prayed about the guilt feelings I was having about studying art. I haven't been troubled with them since. A friend of mine suggested that I try writing affirmations, and I have been doing that several days a week. But I know your prayers helped too. Instead of feeling bad about studying art now, the class has become my little Zen pocket of the week. For the three hours I'm there, I feel focused and totally in the process. It's a great feeling.
My teacher keeps telling me that he's astonished at how little experience I have doing this. If he keeps praising me this way, I might be the one with the big head. :-)

The picture is great! I'm glad you gave up the guilt stuff. It will only suffocate you.

I doubt that you would ever be the one with the big head. Your progress is astonishing.
very life like image and the face has a resemblance to you. a very natural and poised position that your subject is in.
You deserve to feel proud of yourself!
You continue to amaze me and you should be SO stinkin' proud of yourself Ruth!
Oh you crack me up Ruth....no big head for you...this I know! So...you are trundling along here...doing well I can see....I expected nothing less. You should immerse yourself in art...without guilt...how can there be guilt...you need your art, in all forms for you to remain refreshed, refueled and revived. We, we who are here...on this side of the receiving line...we are the ones who are the benefactors. Carry on Ruth...you are doing wonderfully!
Yes, ditto! So glad you have been able to work through the guilt!!!! God wants us to find pleasure in life and create beauty. You are so lucky you discovered your talent so that you can enjoy!
My husband sold 6 paintings at his first art show and he is a beginner. He was shocked, but so pleased and satisfied that people liked his work. You will be, too!!!
You are amazing.
((((Ruth))))
Glad you are continuing with your art. the human figure (to me) is one of the MOST difficult to draw!!! There are so many factors and I think your work has been amazing.
Awesome job Ruth. I'm so glad you are enjoying your class now.
you are so talented in so many ways!!!
