something to have & critic night

I'm not sure why, but I would really would love to have one of these old antique dress maker dolls. I saw one a few weeks back at one of my favourite antique stores, but it was more than I wanted to pay. But it kind of stuck to my mind. I think I want it because of the shape and the texture of it, it looks lovely with the old linen fabric and the numbers and pins stuck to it. Some day I will have one... But for now, a small drawing of it will have to do : )

And this is a small sketch and painting I did during on of my art groups that I belong too, it was critic night. And as you can see, it was not a very successful night (after all I had time to make this during it, so that tells you a lot), the lady spoke with a very soft low voice (I heard about 20% of what she had to say from the whole evening) and she stood most of the time in front of the painting, so no one could see what she was mumbling about.

One thing was clear to most of us there, that the lady who did the critic, was and is a huge fan of plants and flowers. So when I pulled out my painting (along with three other artists) that she had no idea or understanding what to make out of "abstract"painting. It was funny to watch her how she tried to find something to say about it, and the things she did say, well... Lets just say, flowers is her calling : ) But it was fun and hey, at least I got this sketch done.
