When You Wish Upon A Star

[marybu...@juno.com]

Hello Everyone!

    Well it is getting cooler up here in Maine as the Fall season comes closer.  Still not cool enough to change the leaf colors but I'm sure it won't be long.

 

    One of my favorite artists is Donato Giancola - he is the artist that did the art work for the "Lord of the Rings" movies.   I just recently purchased an instructional dvd produced by him where he takes you through his whole process of painting - all the was from the first sketches, photo shoot with a live model, mounting the finished sketch and completing the painting with oils.   It came last week, and I have watched it every spare minute ( it is 5 1/2 hours long).  It is really awe inspiring.

    In fact, after watching him paint a galaxy in the dvd, I have been inspired to paint a galaxy  too.  Below you can see my first attempt plus I have placed a child in the foreground.  The painting is not done and I feel there is much to improve about the galaxy (as well as the child).  Donato said in the dvd, that he had to paint about 20 galaxies before he became really good at it.   So since this my first attempt - be patient with me.  I am thinking of calling it "When You Wish Upon A Star".

 

A warm welcome to my new collectors Alice from New Jersey  and Margaret from Illinois - both purchased their paintings from my eBay listings.
