WITCHY

I want to show off my new painting of Witchy. She is one of the most courageous women that I know. She is full of spunk too.......that is what we say in the south.

I intend to paint it again because it is not as good as I want it to be. My reason being that I know a lot of caucasian people and have a lot of caucasian friends. but I have never painted any of them. I paint a lot of black folk and did not realize that caucasian skin can have very light tones that I am not used to painting..

I did attend a painting class and the model was a nude caucasian male once.I did not get his skintones right either but I got all of his body parts correct......lol

I say this because I think our country would be better if we tried to get to know people of other races.

Nice painting Smiley!

White people come in an amazing amount of different skin colors which I can see as a challenge in itself. You have olive, red, golden, porcelain white, pink skin tones to name a few.

LOL, I remember one of my friends called her color refrigerator white.

As far as your photo coming in sideways, take a picture holding your phone on it's side instead of straight up. That has worked for me.

It must be really difficult to paint the right skin tone...

What a Lovely picture! To get the picture upright try putting the center command in brackets before the image command.

It only takes a drop of ink to make a million people think. There are many stories.

I remember witchy...I believe she lived 'way up north', and had dogs. If it's the same person, I saw her often in the Gazebo and would greet her by saying 'hiya witchypoo'...

If that's her, please tell her 'howdy...witchypoo..'

Excellent Portrait! Skin tones; as in real life, are of little consequence... There are fine decent people who run the full gauntlet of tones, as there are just as many doers of evil. Please post more here in blogs so we get to know you better. I just posted a HOT FUDGE ice cream topping recipe and am attempting to post a peach cobbler recipe in a little bit.... My name is Bret... I hide behind the "Red Riding Hoodie"

Hi Darter or Bret.........I thank you for your response and I agree with you perhaps you do need to know a bit more about me because most of the folk (the regulars)
know me and we have met in person at parties. I was not speaking of good or bad people.........you lost me there. I am a friendly person and you seem that way also.................The only person who really hates me(as far as I know) is the ignorant racist . I could care less about what he thinks of me. I am no different than you ......I try to be kind to everyone if I can.........

Great looking painting, as always! Simply ignore the miserable resident village idiot.
Everyone knows he is a ranting lunatic looking for attention.
