POSSIBLE CHRISTMAS CARD PAINTING!

can't wait until you start adding the COLORs, .... then KNOW it will do SOMETHING for him hahaha.
Well, gee, Mr. Man, it's just started!!! Back to the cows with him!! ha ha I think it will be gorgeous - in your style of painting and using gouache, it will shine and come to life soon.
Sonya and Rhonda - we shall see (on all counts!!!)
I'm anxious to see it finished! My husband tends to be the same. I had a painting hanging front and center in our dining room (you couldn't miss it). It was a commissioned piece I had just matted and framed. I had it hung on the wall for two days hoping he'd comment on it! While I was wrapping it up to deliver, he says "I haven't seen your painting since you've framed it, where is it?". After an "ugh" from me, I unwrapped the painting and showed it to him.
Deb, I can just imagine the gorgeous jewel colors you will be using on this painting. Oh...it will shine and glow and spell "XMas" even for your husband:-)
I have never used gouache either so I will be watching with interest.
I think there will be lots of interest when colour and highlights are in the ornaments. It has lots of potential I believe.
My husband's the same, he doesn't usually have the vision to see the piece before its complete.
Gretchen and Jeanette - could it be we are married to the same man?? (LOL) I put my work on an easel in the living room and if I get no response I move it farther into the room. I once had it about half way across the room before he asked why it was there!! (He will read this, so I have to tell you that he's getting much better about it - and he really has become quite supportive of my art, attending openings and carrying paintings to and fro and telling people "my wife is an artist"!!!) (Whew - am I out of trouble yet??? LOL)
Christiane - hope you are not disappointed!
Yes, Deb, I agree. My husband is very supportive of my art as well. Although at times I have to remind him of the term "starving artists". I think sometimes he as dreams of quiting his day job and letting me do art. Needless to say, his career pays the bills. It's also really difficult to compete with football this time of year. It's so nice to be able to share our art with people like yourself.
Gretchen - tell him to "dream on"! (And I can hear a football game playing in the background as I write this!!!!)
