Do you ever think that some of your old work looks better than your new work? I think that at times. Of course there is the fact I won't show some of the really old work, and I may not keep that promise either. I have intentions of looking at some of that past work today and working on some shading around the eyes, plus giving eyelids a second look plus work. I may think those paintings are better but I see they lack something also. You are aware that one can completely ruin work with reworking
This art work was done a couple days ago, it has more layering than I usually do, the small face has 5 layers in places and is not as smooth as I would like. A full napkin behind the larger face. I used the middle layer of the napkin as there was still light printing on it that I liked.
I have suddenly been struck by awareness, it is alarming.

They are so beautiful Emelie!
I love your work and the colours you use!
And thank you for your sweet comments on my blog.
Hi Emelie! I'm in Sharon's class with you, and I'm glad, because I found your blog. I'll be following--I love your work--I love the softness of it!
Hi Emelie...I finally decided to check out your loon quilt and discovered your mixed media art. I love your paintings. I also saw the link to Nora's Art and checked it out...I had no idea that Sharon was offering an on-line class. I signed up! You've made my day! Now I'm excited about learning everything that I can in Sharon's class. Thanks so much! xoxo Irene (Thimbles 'n Stitches)
Hi Emelie, lovely to hear from you on Sharon's ning group. So exciting.
I am having problems replying, so come over to you blog.
Your art is awesome. One thing I realize as art goes on, is the very thing I try to avoid in the younger sketches are the things that bloom later on. I could not see the development slowly creeping in and then looking back I could.
This maybe the reason we see some of our earlier work as better.
All your art is fabulous!
Hugs!

Emelie, I keep coming back to look at the face in the bottom picture. She's vaguely making me think of someone but I can't figure out who!
I like her.
