Klynn made a good point about the eyes. I love how his eyes squint into crescent moons, but it would be hard to get in definition - and his eyes are a beautiful royal blue. Also, I really would fear doing chicklet teeth.<BR/><BR/>I may get prints done of 1, 3, and 5 to take to class. I really like 4, because it's a great land/seascape, too, with the poles and bird being cool, too. Yet with that one and others, what is here is already blown up, so I fear the quality if I tried to trim more.<BR/><BR/>Churlita, I don't think dating matters a lot with gender, not what I had hoped. Women are just as screwy. And I know she has too much time on her hands.<BR/><BR/>J, I'm sorry to hear you've experienced the same with visitors. My comment applied to family as well. This weekend, I told a former teacher and said I referenced/linked to her. You'd think she'd be very interested, especially b/c she hasn't seen my work in probably two years.<BR/><BR/>That said, I was recently on the phone with a guy I'd gone out with over the summer and he asked about the blog, went to the blog, was viewing the blog as I was checking stats, and he didn't show up. I know other times that people didn't show up.<BR/><BR/>Sorry about Flat Stanley. I wonder if you install an email notification widget and get them to subscribe, if maybe they'd be more active with it. <BR/><BR/>I don't know what to say about the notification. I subscribed and mine comes, but it isn't very timely, as in days removed. Maybe you could do an email notification, if you wanted, until I figure something out.Crickethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13622985406269216862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8703107.post-46261145113930769772008-10-28T11:59:00.000-05:002008-10-28T11:59:00.000-05:00I'm having a hard time between #1 And #5..., but I...I'm having a hard time between #1 And #5..., but I'd say #1 because it's so real.NoRegretshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13240929627271129160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8703107.post-69503287380338727752008-10-28T11:21:00.000-05:002008-10-28T11:21:00.000-05:00That's tough.1 & 2 are both good shots, bu...That's tough.<BR/><BR/>1 & 2 are both good shots, but he's squinting in both of them, making it harder to get a feel for his eyes.<BR/><BR/>3 is a good picture, but I have a feeling that he would cringe at how young he looks in that pic.<BR/><BR/>4 is arguably my favorite...except for his pose! If he'd been sitting up straight, it would have been perfect. I'm afraid that if you tried to crop it to more of a head shot, that his shoulders would still be too awkward.<BR/><BR/>5 is a good pic, but the winter coat might be too seasonal. (not to mention the memories associated with it).<BR/><BR/>If pressed, I guess I would have to say 3 or 4. I saw how you edited the paniting of the kitties, and I bet you could tweak any of them into a beautiful portrait.Klynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00660732347810470100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8703107.post-46283256663492694452008-10-28T10:55:00.000-05:002008-10-28T10:55:00.000-05:00I vote for #1Re: blogging... your art blog is stil...I vote for #1<BR/><BR/>Re: blogging... your art blog is still not showing updates on bloglines. I have been out of town for over a week and it shows no new activity. That is how I read my blogs and I rarely, if ever, click on blog links if there is no update showing.<BR/><BR/>Also, re: blogging... funny that you should mention this because a little girl in South Carolina sent me her flat stanley and even SHE doesn't seem that interested in his adventure. Makes me want to send the little fucker back, hell, if they don't care about his adventure, why should I? Blogging is time-consuming. Her family does read about once a week but they are not nearly as involved as I imagined.<BR/><BR/>I sent my family a link for my art blog once and not one of them visited - MY OWN FAMILY!<BR/><BR/>Hang in there and I can't wait to see your portrait painting!<BR/><BR/>JAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8703107.post-76775210167779898212008-10-28T10:12:00.000-05:002008-10-28T10:12:00.000-05:00There's a guy who I had a fling with, who barely c...There's a guy who I had a fling with, who barely called me during the fling but obsesses over my blog several times a day now that he's found it. I think it's just easier to watch than to interact. It's more their issue. It's not that she's not interested in you, it's that she's too messed-up to have a relationship. It's weird. I thought that was a male thing, but then I've never dated women, so maybe it's all the same.<BR/><BR/>I say 3.Churlitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05018288474865559384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8703107.post-28074238601621421452008-10-28T09:31:00.000-05:002008-10-28T09:31:00.000-05:003 or 5...3 or 5...Monica Cassanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13969938853749704756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8703107.post-49888970037613946632008-10-27T22:34:00.000-05:002008-10-27T22:34:00.000-05:00Ooo!
