If she's so beautiful, I don't need to be a wizard. And if I'm such a wizard, are you so sure that she's beautiful? Ha ha ha... Just laughing... with you of course.<br /><br />But thanks for the praise, for both pictures. For Samantha, I wanted to convey that soft and dreamy look... and THAT took a lot of work. Because, of course, she's beautiful.<br /><br />Most people will make the eyes very precise in portraits. Here I chose to soften them up a bit, which contributes to the dreamy look. On the other hand, the mouth is more precise, and you're drawn to it.<br /><br />And here go a couple of my secrets... :-)<br /><br />RogerRoger Gauthierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01690736289188945063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4731100500338248454.post-8076081350336281642010-12-19T09:30:55.581-05:002010-12-19T09:30:55.581-05:00Hello Roger!

You can see, she is very good "material" for this kind of portrait. It is very important for a model to understand from the start that I am not trying to make HER portrait, but A portrait about a feeling or feelings. Very few people will accept that readily.<br /><br />RogerRoger Gauthierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01690736289188945063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4731100500338248454.post-62765524623646934092010-12-18T11:42:14.573-05:002010-12-18T11:42:14.573-05:00@Françoise : Pas de raison vraiment précise...

Sometimes the creator wants to bring us in a different direction and it takes time to get a good grasp of the image, or the painting. For example, in creating this Lady Samantha, I knew that it would appeal to most. In the case of the Island, the dark version at least, it's not so obvious. People are disoriented, or do not agree, and then you do not see many comments...<br /><br />Roger :-)Roger Gauthierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01690736289188945063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4731100500338248454.post-66747735609091269612010-12-17T15:57:08.462-05:002010-12-17T15:57:08.462-05:00@Roger: When I look at a picture I enlarge it
