I think I've worked out that since I joined the art society council, my time spent on the computer is taken up with society things - hence the lack of desire at the end of the day to blog.
And I do regret not blogging when I finally get round to see what I'm missing. The work out there in blogland is absolutely terrific and reading the blogs makes me feel connected to a wonderful art family. All my intentions to blog regularly are there - they just don't seem to come to fruition.
We have just had our annual selection weekend and again, my job was doing the computer work and keeping track of the judges scores. It was a hectic two days and I didn't do so well this year - only one painting was accepted out of three. Never mind - just have to keep trying.
I am posting these two portraits of my daughter-in-law's young cousins in Sweden. Her uncle asked me to paint them and I did struggle with Sophie because of the lack of light and shade on her face. But they were happy, and that's what counts. Two beautiful young people indeed.

Liz,
We do miss you here on blogland. :)
I just love Izak's portrait. He just looks so calm and composed.
Really hope to see more of your paintings here.. And congrats on that painting which was accepted. :)
I think you did a beautiful job on both of these, Liz.
Though you don’t seem to have the time, your work is still great. Beautiful portraits.
I admire anyone who can paint portraits. These are lovely Liz.

Lovely work!
These two a just wonderful! Great to see your work again, Liz.
So good to hear from you Liz. It sounds like things are very busy but going well. Sorry all three paintings didn't get in... but then that's in all of our dreams... and we all end up with some not getting in.
The important thing is to keep enjoying what your are doing.
great post using real-world examples. Keep it up!

Lovely portraits Liz! Sounds like you are staying busy.
Beautiful work, Liz. Great portraits of two lovely people.
I understand exactly the problem of life getting in the way of blogging! But i now think to myself that the initial flush needs to give way to more seldom but steady contact. No one is forgotten. And at my age, what's a few months here or there?
So savor life to the full. We will be here to catch up when we all can.
Warm greetz from across the Indian Ocean (once you return from Sweden!).

These portraits are lovely, Liz--they seem to be ready to say something to all of us, they are that alive! I am blown away by skilled, soul-filled portrait painters--it seems like such a difficult subject to me. I have the same experience with keeping up my blog. Although I enjoy both posting on my blog and visiting other blogs, it seems difficult to establish a regular routine. We all love it when you do post--however often that may be.
Browsing the Net looking for a present for my wife for our wedding anniversary (which I nearly forgot), I came by chance
upon this fantastic site called wahooart.com, based probably in Paris. Talk about the Louvre having a big collection of
priceless masterpieces, this site has just about everything in Western art, but as digital files.
What they do is to make good reproduction prints from your choice of work from their archive. I know that the prints
are good because I ordered online, a print that was on canvas, like a painting. I specified the size and even chose a frame
at their site.
A bit awkward when the gift was delivered early to my door, luckily while my wife was not home. What did I choose?
This glorious nude by the German artist George Grosz: http://EN.WahooArt.com/A55A04/w.nsf/OPRA/BRUE-8LHV5V and it's hanging gloriously large above
our bed head now. Risqué? Sure. But my wife and I love it.
I want someone here suffering from any disease to heal from my story after Hiv disease for the last 3 years and having hard to eat and cough are nightmares,especially the first year. At this stage, the immune system is severely weakened, and the risk of contracting opportunistic infections is much greater. However, not everyone with HIV will go on to develop AIDS. The earlier you receive treatment, the better your outcome will be.I started taking ARV to avoid early death but I had faith in God that i would be healed someday.As a Hiv patient we are advise to be taking antiretroviral treatments to reduce our chance of transmitting the virus to others , few weeks ago i came on search on the internet if i could get any information on Hiv treatment with herbal medicine, on my search i saw a testimony of someone who has been healed from Hiv her name was Achima Abelard and other Herpes Virus patient Tasha Moore also giving testimony about this same man,Called Dr Itua Herbal treatment.I was moved by the testimony and i contacted him by his Email.drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com/ www.drituaherbalcenter.com. We chatted and he send me a bottle of herbal medicine I drank it as he instructed me to.After drinking it he ask me to go for a test that how i ended my suffering life of Hiv patent,I'm cured and free of Arv Pills.I'm forever grateful to him Doctor Itua Herbal Treatment..He assured me he can cure the following disease..Hiv,Cancer,Herpes Virus,Hpv,Pile,Weak Erection,Lyme Disease,Epilepsy,Glaucoma.,Brain Tumor,psoriasis, Cataracts,Macular degeneration,Cardiovascular disease,Chronic Diarrhea,Lung disease.Enlarged prostate,Osteoporosis.Alzheimer's disease
