I am doing this in colored pencil and was at a point where I was stumped about what to do. So I looked at it upside down and saw this entirely different painting that would work too. Sooo.....Any ideas or suggestions??? Any comments??? I am sooo open to someone else's opinion...I wish I could put them side by side but I don't know how. Thanks, Cathi

They are so totally different. Should I copy one on art paper and then go over what is already there and finish it out. I have to admit this was one of those paintings that wasn't planned, just a vague idea in my head and then letting it lead me a merry chase. I still don';t know quite where it is going. LOL isn't art wonderful and surprising?

Hi Cathi, I love it either way. It is a very unique and beautiful painting. Great job. Edna

I love it either way, but the second seems to have more potential. Fabulous stepped landscape for instance, or the basis of a fantasy painting! I'll look forward to seeing this finished. Sylvia xxx

It is really interesting sideways too. This is a great idea to turn our painting around. I use to do that with a drawing I was trying to copy. I would copy it form the upside down position so I would learn to see what was really there and not what I though was there. It helped.

If you're using XP,......when you open...."My pictures" (or where ever you have this Drawing), Click on it, this should activate the "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer".
There will be Controls....beneath your Drawing.
The 2 you will be after...are to the Right......of the 'Magnifer' icons.
You will get either "Rotate Clockwise" or "Rotate Anti-clockwise".
Click either...................until your drawing flips over 180 degrees (2 clicks.)
Then, again..to the Right, there is a "Floppy-disk" icon (copy to).
Copy it to,........ where else.
Revert the Drawing....back to the normal way you had it,
Close it.
Check to see if it is still 'as is'........and, the 'upside copy' is there also.
Simple.

Very interesting discovery. I would treat them now as two separate paintings and see what the end results look like. Let us have a look as well.

Why don't you frame them either upside or downside inside same framing

I give you an idea of how to treat those two drawings with a poem I framed for a friend of mine.
I made the framing but not the poem.

He was just beeing for the second time grand dad of a little baby girl and I found sarak Kay pictures very nice to treat with this poem from Victor Hugo - "the Art of beeing a Grandfather "

Elena, I'm happy to continue the challenge. I feel I have learned a lot by doing the challenge paintings for the past year, and think it's only fair that I start giving back. I am also willing to share the duties. If you have a photograph that you…
