How clever....the picture looks three dimensional! What a great artist he is!

Karen E. Nov 2, 2009, 9:14pm EST

It does have dimension as Bruce formed the paper in the shape of a face and then painted it. Thanks Sue, sending blessings,
Karen

Dimension is hard and I haven't mastered it. he is a better painter than I

David W. Nov 2, 2009, 9:49am EST

Denise, you can achieve dimenion on a flat surface by using "values," Work your colors form right to left, graduating your tones, or left to right, light medium, dark. Proper shadowing adds to the deapth.

Denise C. Nov 2, 2009, 3:13pm EST

I can get dimension with shadowing but Im far from an expert. Can you illustrate this on U Tube? I'm a visual learner!!! LOL

Karen E. Nov 2, 2009, 9:15pm EST

David, that would be so cool if you could UTube it.

The problem with setting a new page is cookies. Gather is set to receive your cookies and it will always come back to your page. Perhaps siigning out might help.

Meanwhile he is doing some good work.

Karen E. Nov 2, 2009, 9:18pm EST

I figured that it had to be some sort of a signature that I cannot alter by using another sign in. We are both computer dorks.
Thanks for the kind comment.

What a great outlet for him and the painting above is so luminescent.

Karen E. Nov 2, 2009, 9:18pm EST

I love it when his art is rising. He also painted me a watercolor for my birthday last week and I will post it soon. I have a poem in mind and it has not fluffed out yet.

Karen E. Nov 2, 2009, 9:20pm EST

Thank you Abby. Of course, he thinks he has not talent at all. I disagree.

Very moving portrait. Keep up the good work, Bruce! Thank you for posting your work here at Home Comfort

Karen E. Nov 2, 2009, 9:23pm EST

Bruce said "Mother Teresa is in my gallery of heros" He also said "Maybe you should tell her that I am not good, I am a fraud" That part made me laugh so hard. Isn't that what we all think when we are trying to reach beyond ourselves. Thank you so much Natalie.

Natalie Neal Whitefield Nov 3, 2009, 12:52pm EST

Yes. We all have that feeling to some extent, but please tell Bruce that when an image or a piece of work moves the emotions of those who view it, there is no doubt about authenticity! Clarity and strength always ring true!

Karen E. Nov 4, 2009, 12:49am EST

So kind Natalie. You have a great heart.

A houseful of art! This is wonderful, Karen. Inventive to form th face in that manner - I'd not thought of that. I look forward to more the mister's artwork.

Extremely talented!!! I have a hard time drawing a straight line. Can't wait to see more of his work.

Karen E. Nov 8, 2009, 5:33pm EST

I am not artistic in that way at all. I love his work and the walls of our home are like a gallery of his work.

hi Karen - this is wonderful. Maybe Bruce can create a page on gmail - you may want to check it out - it's free. I can tell he loves what he does. Salud
