Day 8 of the Art Every Day Month Challenge
How do you know if your art is heading in the right direction? My answer is to ask your mother...lol. Mine has been telling me lately how *da gurls are sooo beautiful*....yup.....I'm definitely heading in the wrong direction...lol. I used to like it when she saw them, called me and said in her French accent...*I don't know, Manon. Dey worry me. Are you sure you're ok?*. Ya.... I feel better when they don't look like prom queens and my mom really doesn't like them. Don't get me wrong because I love my mom with all my heart but I also know the kind of music she likes and the kind of art she likes and OMG......I better change this up pretty darn soon!!!
fill your heart with art

My daughter does me the same way so I know how your Mom feels..hahahah
You just blow me alway with your art.....you are just so talented and I love looking at anything you paint.....This gal is beautiful.....
Ha, i love the story!
And this lady is as beautiful as all your ladies. I also LOVE the background a lot.
Great work as ever Manon.
I like the paintings, the ones you have been doing lately. I like the direction, but understand the concern. She may know what is good is good though, some of the time.
Hahahah, Caio! That is so true. I did paint one man though. I may attempt one again in the near future...lol
Awe...thanks, Bella! I won't tell my mom though!!
You are so sweet, Nancy!! A big *thank you* to you!!
Thanks, Monica!!
Sometimes Mother does know best, Anthony!! LOL
LOL too funny about your mom. But I know what you mean,my mom likes everything perfect and for years I always tried to make everything perfect and if it wasnt I would get so mad at myself.Then I found out that I don't like perfect, so now I do what I want and if I'm happy with it then thats all that matters. Oh sorry I didnt mean to write so much,I guess I got on the mom kick LOL. Anyway Your girls are gorgeous. And thanks for your sweet comments on my blog,she was done on a small canvas.
Hmmmmn, what do you want to do? Your gurls are beautiful indeed. Is it because they are a reflection of your current outlook?
Beautiful beautiful .. 'da girl is beautiful indeed' Love your work Manon and I enjoyed the story about your mom. Have a great day! :)
HA! oh this is so funny and so true, manon...
i always smile to see what you're doing... : )
xoxo
I'm with you mom on this one! She's stunning!
Hahahaaa... I'm sure you mother would LOVE reading that!! :D :D :D
Could it be because your girls seem to be more "open" these days? Gorgeous as before, more chic in a way, and yet seem to be more willing to take off their veils? Oh, I don't know... I'm rambling... I just see less secrets and more "yes, this is me!"
Hugs! oxx
Mine is very happy of my creatures. Now I start worrying...
Does she read your blog?
So good you are here)
Too funny Manon! This is a lovely portrait, beautiful shading, interesting background. What's not to like?
lol Manon!!! That's so funny! Every now and then I see one of your ladies and think, "Mum isn't going to like this one!"
My daughter always used to tell me "it iws just not what I would wear mom"
Now she says I love this, I would buy that.
Maybe we have just come to the place where everyone is happy!
And I feel your mom is right.
"da gurl zhe iz zo beautiful"
Well done!
I liked them before though too!
I just like and love your art, it is from your heart.
I noticed your girls have been looking a little different lately, and very beautiful!
HA! I understand your reasoning completely, trust me, I do. My mother always hates my hair! If she ever liked it, I'm sure I would run to my hair girl immediately! However, I could not disagree with you more regarding the direction of your art...I see gigantic growth and freedom. I see art that is flowing from your heart. I see beauty. I love the direction you are growing and going. **kisskiss** Deb
Once again the soul is in her eyes, lovely colour scheme!
You're funny, Manon! I used to have the same litmus test. Now mom just says "Is THAT a painting?" lol. Who knows...maybe your mom's tastes are changing. Your girls are all glorious.
Wow, very beautiful, Manon!
