I would like to make enough paintings to see if I could get a gallery to represent me. <BR/><BR/>As for editorial: that's what my concentration was in school. The problem is that stock photography and illus. has pretty much taken over. Most of my favorite editorial illustrators have moved on to the fine arts.<BR/><BR/>meghanMeghan McCarthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05117528918335897128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31911817.post-12347847728116594372008-09-27T21:03:00.000-04:002008-09-27T21:03:00.000-04:00You're a very talented painter.

I love the painting already, can't wait to see it when it's done.<BR/><BR/>When I first saw it, I thought of WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE -- that demented expression? It's amazing to me that we ALL thought of this movie from the image. But the actress didn't look like either Joan Crawford or Bette Davis to me.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for telling about the Redgrave sisters' version -- I love both actresses and can't wait to see it. I saw a clip on youtube (the scene at the piano), you NAILED her!<BR/>--LibbyBlue Rose Girlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05224076615462128422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31911817.post-47758489309877105002008-09-27T08:22:00.000-04:002008-09-27T08:22:00.000-04:00Beezer, great eye and "after" you said Lynn Redgra...Beezer, great eye and "after" you said Lynn Redgrave, then YES, the painting IS of Lynn Redgrave.... but I never would have guessed it on my own, I was stuck on making it into either Joan or Betty.

Then while my sister and I were watching it on the "big screen," my sister said her crazy face would make for a good photo... and I one up-ed her and painted it. <BR/><BR/>The movie is crazy.
