Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it may be necessary from time to time to give a stupid or misinformed beholder a black eye.

I seem to have gone a little overboard on the molding paste in this painting. I thought a whole minute about fixing her but I like that she's not perfect. I never paint anything that's flawless so why start now.....lol.
I'm heading out to the Valley of the Sun on Tuesday. I will be bringing some paint with me to AZ so I can work in my journal. I'll see ya'll from there!
fill your heart with art

She is PERFECT Manon!!! I love all the extra texture....somehow it makes the color punch right up and grab the eye!
Makes the viewer want to touch the painting; the contrast of blended paint against the under texture.
Beautiful....
XXOO~~♥

I love the texture and wouldn't change a thing! This piece leaves me speechless! Stunning comes to mind but it just doesn't seem to cover how I feel about this! xxoo
Oh, Manon! No black eyes needed here! She is incredible, just as she is. I love that the backdrop is golden. It sets off that little blue heart so beautifully. And I love her delicately parted lips. Have a warm and wonderful time in AZ!
I love her as she is - flaws and all! Have a great time in AZ.

She is definitely beautiful, Manon.
P. S. I love the Miss Piggy quote:)
Real beauty is hiding in what is human, in what can’t be perfected. I Know someone must have said something like this.
Beautiful! And she is flawless. :) Love the miss piggy quote you posted. :))
I think she is lovely, Manon. I love your title too.
Feels so good to see the works of my talented friends (I am so busy these days, which is good but which is bad for blogging)). Manon, the ladies are perfect.
She's wonderful the way she is Manon. :-)
OH--she is awesome and perfect!!
She is gorgeous Manon! And I love all that texture!!
I love her just the way she is! I actually love all the texture on her. Have a great trip!
... perfect? imperfect? this face talks ... especially the eyes ...

Happy creating and have a wonderful trip! Glad your bringing your journal. Shes a textural beauty!

Hello Manon, nothing that a bit of judicious sanding couldn't fix :) Last week I took your lead, whacked paste over a finished work - it's the kind of paste that is translucent at the start and clear at thr finish/ well after about twenty minutes it was still whitish.
I checked the jar - I'd used white accidently (they come in the same jars) Heh. Now I have a clean canvas :)
see you
So glad you left her as is Manon - and that Miss Piggy quote! Love it!
Monon,
Running off to Arizona without us? Enjoy your time away and soak in the sun. You deserve it!!!
I love this new piece, imperfections and all!
Safe journeys,
Brian
looks good to me. I also love the masthead on your blog !!
i also like that she's not perfect - that's like real life.. her eyes have the most beautiful blue
She came out gorgeous! Love the textures... No, you didn’t overdo the paste! I’m beholding pure beauty looking at your work. Hope you are having a fab time in AZ. Make lots of memories and pictures.
She is beautiful Manon.

Wow! She looks like you! Love that texture-- I was surprised at how small it really is!
