color is nice, I like the muted color .. the washed green is real soothing along side the lavender

 

[Artyczar]

Thanks Wayne. The color is pink, not really lavender. I should probably adjust the image if it's reading lavender.

Nope, my wife is always telling me I don't know one color from the other and truth be told she is probably right. Pink it is

Love the pastel colors, must have been one of your better dreams.

It's funny...well, I won't say too much about it, but I had named this painting two titles, a title for the top half and a title for the bottom half, but there's not a way to do that in a way to really document it correctly and explain it online, and so I just used the top half title. The bottom half was too risqué anyway.

 

[snoball]

You? Risqué ?? No!!!

 

[Bizzibee]

You pink duvet is lovely! Very creative, indeed!

 

[Artyczar]

Thanks Bizzy!

Arty, your colours are so tender. Colors of a stuffy, yet the emotions are so strong

 

[Artyczar]

Thank you Jocelyn. I guess I can start calling you by your real name since Sno started to. I did it once and then wondered if maybe you wanted to stay a bit ambiguous instead. Let me/us know.

I started signing Desforges or Defo when I was young. I noticed that women generally signed pretty and that they were not taken as seriously as men. unless you were someone famous' girlfriend, you stayed in the background.
I don't want to sound like I am whining because I am not, just saying what it was like here in Quebec.
That was in the sixties. I like to think that some things have changed a little.
Jocelyne is fine, Carol.

I hear you JD, I changed my last name when I was 15 and started signing C. Es for the same reasons. Sometimes I still sign that way. I'd like to think things are changing. Maybe they are, a little.

You probably know I'd recently thought about changing my name and have, for now, changed my mind about that, but only because I am known in LA as artist Carol Es and I don't want to screw with that career path. To me, Carol was always a girl's name and I am neither male or female, but there are males named Carroll, and even Carol. Maybe it can be androgynous? I don't know.
