I am a mother, a grandmother and a contemporary realist painter currently living in Montana. I was encouraged to be an artist when I was younger due to some sad events in my life. Through this experience I started to learn and understand how much of an impact being an artist and the art world in general could have on a person if given a chance. Later, I wanted to be a seascape painter and went to school where I received my Associates in Fine Art/Humanities (2007) and have been able to continue my artistic education through books, the internet and personal experiences. Today I do not just paint the ocean but I paint anything that inspires me. Through my artwork, I want to encourage happy thoughts, happy memories and positive perspectives in order to stimulate a happy heart within my viewer whether it be from a nature scene to something as simple as a favorite coffee cup. - Frankie Stockman 2021

I was thinking about the reason why we tend to look up quotes. I thought maybe it was just a recent internet trend but it really isn't....

I think the painting is beautiful. It is well proportioned. Portraits are difficult to do. I have done one. I haven't given up on them. My children are just little, and it is harder to paint.
Frankie ~ I do the same thing & you are right ~ look ~ but stop comparing yourself ~ Your work is excellent and I need to tell myself the same thing ~ learn from others but trust myself and my own style ~ wishing you the best in your day ~ Happy painting, creating ^_^
Evelyn.. I use graphs. I used to think it was a form of cheating.. but I did a bunch of research on all the old masters... THEY ALL DID IT! Leonardo used glass to get the proportions right.. I believe Durer used a graph that he invented. They even used graphs when they were doing portraits right there with a sitter. :) So now I do not mind saying out loud. You can actually see the lines in my unfinished drawings. :) Use graphs. It makes it so much easier! Good luck. And also.. thank you so much. :):)
I agree Carol. :)
I think she's lovely and looks to be deep in thought...
Hi Frankie, hope you're having a good week. The drawings looking great so far. I've always been a big fan of sanguine. Looks very classical!....
Just added you to my list of Blogs of Interests ~ ^_^ ~
@ TopazGirl - I keep trying to find your blog but it keeps telling me that you do not have one! :( Do you have one? I would love to be a part of it. :) thank you. I am glad she does.. I am actually going for that look! Sometimes I am not going for a look and get it anyway and just "pretend" and say.. Ohhhh yeahhh.. sure.. thats what I meant to do! hahahaha. (wink)
@ Dean.. I had to look up "sanguine". I will be honest. My art vocabulary is not as high as it should be. But I agree! I love it and its so forgiving too. If only I can make the paint that forgiving also! XO Dean! XO!
@ Carol.. Thank you! I am actually really happy that you have taken interest in me! XO!
hmm, i had no thought to ever use graphs! i will look into it! thanks for the tip!
