Just Like Mike (Nike Sneakers) - 6 x 8" Pastel

My 12 year old son is "just like Mike"...from the ankles down! These are his Air Jordans, lying on the front steps. Don't trip over them on your way in.

I am still waiting for some kind of personal painting style to emerge. Some days my paintings turn out more graphic and bold, like today; other days the result looks more impressionist, like yesterday. I really admire artists who have their own distinctive style. On the daily painters website, there are a few artists whose work I can pick out on any given day without even checking the name. One artist said he aims to be more of a painter than a copyist...that's a good goal, not sure how to get there. I guess just keep at it.

I am not sure how to get there either but everyday we take baby steps in our development. Don't worry about a style. It will emerge on its own. You have a lovely sense of color and light. Just keep painting daily and you will begin to hear others talk about your style. You concentrate on quality and fun. Wonderful piece.

This is really a great one Rhonda! The color and composition are brilliant. I love the red of the brick over what I am guessing is blue paper? - love it!
