Only thing is that if I had thought about this fix myself last Thursday, I might be happier with the portrait that started out as a quick ink sketch and quickly became too dark, was painted over with acrylic, and finally "pastel-ed" over. And I'm still not happy with it! Now I know that "paperbag" is the next and final step.

So I have changed the post to give her credit. I am so glad you all enjoyed this post - I had great fun doing it! Thanks for all of the wonderful feedback! And lest you not see the amazing significance of the paper bag in this piece, this has precedent in art history with the artist Philip Guston. So this is serious art. Yes, serious. Seriously. And I am always serious, aren't I? ;) Someday I'll tell you the interesting story of where my idea of the bag really came from.Dan Kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13130079803891606515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7926475327161474509.post-59793081842342320912009-11-11T06:35:59.049-05:002009-11-11T06:35:59.049-05:00Wonderful sketch, funny story re the bag... and ad...Wonderful sketch, funny story re the bag... and advise of how to do this...

Then I began to think, if this guy can where a bag and no one notice, then I could probably wear anything I want in public and no one would care! Of course, then you burst my bubble!<br /><br />I love your solution! To me, you've just added that great sense of humor you have, to your painting. This is a wonderful sketch.
