Calli, I admire your skill and technique..and watching as each painting unfolds. Thank you for sharing the process with us. I love this one...can't wait to see it finished. I like the colors that you are using. They give a sense of earth and grounding.
peace my sister of soul..or SOS;)

P.S great music! we have similar tastes in that too!
wow. thanks. I picked up some free books on art...one on the technique of painting from photographs (he usually uses several photographs, when he can).

What a gift you give us, Calli this progression of your work. It's almost as a violinist explaining (while he is playing) his thought-filled soul, the very secret of his inner self--which in some cases, is closeness to God.
Oooops! I didn't mean to become spiritual here...but in reality, are not creation of paintings, music, dance, poetry, writing architecture--are not all these gifts of our Creator?
Laura my (sos)~ thank you for such generous words. my skill and technique? i am self-taught and just go with what feels right for me. i am feeling my way thru vs. thinking. you do the same and that is why your work is so lovely. (i am loving these colours too!) need to re-vamp her hair, forehead and work the background more...:) thx on the music! love Melissa, used to go see her long before she was well known.
wylde otse~ hey good for you, get those paints and canvas out! you'll love it!
Steve~ ty! for such a lovely comment. the spiritual is where we come from my dear and where i create from, indeed, so mention of said 'spiritual' is perfectly fine with me. it is 'who' we are...:)
have a lovely sunday...

I love seeing the evolution of this soulful lady. I love the background on this and seeing the closeups allows us to see the texture of the strokes. Lovely.
Where was the poem? I'm going back to see if I can find it.
wow - so intricate, Calli!
thanks for the glimpse of her evolution!
i sense another masterpiece.
peace~
