Comme l’envie de ‘corriger’ le tableau d’hier était bien forte, en fait quelques corrections mineures, je trouvais la tête du modèle un peu grosse, elle est encore un peu, semble que l’arrière de la tête était pas mal fidèle à la photo, mais moins le visage que j’ai rendu plus incliné….mais au lieu de tout refaire, j’ai plutôt travaillé l’arrière-plan afin de ‘réduire’ un peu sa tête…et aussi quelques retouches ici et là, les deux photos y sont…pour fins de comparaison…
I was very tempted to ‘correct’ last night painting, mainly her head, a little too big, I guess the back was true to the photograph, can’t say the same for her face which is more inclined…but instead of reworking the whole head, I reworked the hair and background, did not want to lose was is already pretty good, to me at least…:)
Also did many minor retouchs here and there, the two photos are there, no major changes…

Et comme l’envie était encore bien présente de travailler ce tableau et que je craignais de me laisser emporter…un peu trop loin..me suis dit que je me calmerais les nerfs avec la suivante…un pastel qui lui aussi est bien près d’être terminé, encore là, petites retouches un peu partout, et un peu plus de changements sur celle-ci…encore là, les deux photos…me sens généreux…:), ou une peu comme dans ces publicités pour perdre du poids, quoique ici j’espère que mon pastel aura gagné et non pas perdu quelque chose…:)
And as I was getting more bold into the reworking of this painting, I decided to move to the next one, a pastel, close to the end line, so to speak, there too, small touches here and there, but a bit more changes, I feel ‘safer’ with pastel, more easy to correct things that went too far, but still have to have a bit of ‘retenu’, holding it back a little bit….there’s the two photos, before and after, as in those publicities for loosing weight, hope this time it gained something…:)

Your work is absolutely phenomenal!!! Congratulations!
Thank you! glad you do appreciate and let know! You are in Winnipeg? live there 4 years, but quite a few years ago…started drawing and painting while I was there.
That you started drawing and painting when you were in Winnipeg speaks again of the talent here.
I will go home to Toronto soon, but I am dedicated to taking as many pictures as possible of the many outdoor murals here before I go.
Yes, there a lot of good art there, I really had a good time there, I’m looking forward to see more of your posts, I liked what I saw today, will check more of it later.
So youre going back home to Toronto, never been there, but I heard it is quite a nice place, one day I will surely go. Keep the good work, I liked your page!
