I have at last completed Marianne, phew and am showing you a close up of her profile so you can have a better look and hopefully see the gold paint which has been added.
Have to go to town now and buy his birthday card...........shame on me..........lol, but will be back to see all your terrific artwork and creations later. Have a great weekend and take care, hugs Annette xx
PS: Looking at the comments below about the birthday card and me buying one. Had better explain why. He is not keen on my cardmaking as he says they are not normal...............so there you have it........am I upset by this.........not a jot...............that man has no taste..............lol

Love Marianne! Great creating and the ballerinas are wonderful ~ thanks, namaste, Carol (Share the Creative Journey) Happy PPF
Marianne is wonderful and so are the lovely dancers! Well Happy Birthday to your Hubby! I think in the time it takes you to go into town, you could make a card? Have a great day!
Exceptional painting Netty--she's beautiful, and those ballerinas--I think are outstanding.
Hope your husband enjoys his birthday celebration!!
yes, your ballerinas remind me of a Degas painting, just lovely. And happy birthday to your husband!
Your art is fab! Loving the ballerinas. Am a little surprised you haven't made your hubby card -.... shame indeed!! Hope he has a great time.
Gorgeous paintings, you sure have talent. Enjoy the celebrations for your OH's Birthday. Yvonne x
Annette, you are moving ahead with your paintings and they are turning out fabulously. I love Marianne and I'm looking forward to the next one that you have outlined. I know it will be special. We all love dancing.
oh Nettie, Marianne looks fabulous and your ballerina's are looking great, too!
As far as home made cards, my husband doesn't appreciate them either. My mom used to tell me...
"some people, all the taste they have is in their mouth" so there.

Beautiful paintings, love the blue ballerinas.
LOL on your husband's card! At least you are doing what he likes for his birthday, I think that says a lot. Beautiful paintings. A great stretch to do a painting like those ballerinas!
Lovely! I really like the dancers!
Love your paintings! Would like to try real painting myself, but will have to work up some courage first :) Thanks for your nice comment!
amazing work!! well done netty LOVE this painting! xx
The gold paint on Marianne is just right - love it! And the ballerinas look cute - I love that they wear blue and not pink!
Ha!He doesn't know what he's missing when it comes to your cards!!
Lovely Marianne
Lol....husbands in general have no taste so most of us are quite used to it.... Hope he has a great birthday... Your painting has turned out brilliantly and your ballerinas are beautiful...have a great weekend Netty....hugs :)
Beautiful portrait, I love that look.
Ohh, balerinas are looking great! :)
Marianne is certainly a beauty, Netty. You have made a painting with such feeling. And the beginning dancers painting is really taking shape. I don't know that I could have made the leap from sketch to paint so fast! Looks good. You are getting a lot from this art class I probably should look into one again.
I make my husband's cards now. For years and years he never had a word to say about my work since he likes photorealism. When he really started hearing what others were saying, he has begun to make positive comments occasionally.
so stunning now its finished and the start of those ballerinas looks like it will turn out brill, love the composition. Hope you have a fab birthday celebration for your hubbys 70th
hugs
I get the store bought card thing, my husband is all about the card. Doesn't matter what the present is, the lack of an appropriate card completely cancels it out.
Oh, Marianne is just lovely, and the ballerinas are turning out great as well.
Marianne is a beauty and the ballerina's are fabulous, Annette!
Marianne has turned out beautifully Annette :) and the dancers are well on there way to being the same :)
Hope you find a card you are happy to give the old man lol
Have a great time

LOL.... glad you explained his foolishness so we know it's not YOU who's plunking down $ for a Hallmark of your own volition. I am really drawn to the dancers and I love the eyes on the lady on top. Have a wonderful weekend!
I hope you are going to hang Marianne on the wall now she is finished, she is wonderful, I like the ballet dancers and look forward to seeing that one when its finished.

What a wonderful piece! You've captured the look in your style...creative genius! The ballerinas are looking great too!POP ART MINIS
Netty your paintings are just gorgeous. The ballerinas remind me of my younger daughter and her classmates at ballet and the scene looks fabulous.
Don't know how your hubby can not like your art style as it's great but hope his birthday celebrations go well.
Hugs, Fliss xx

The addition of gold to Marianne is the perfect finishing touch!

Happy happy birthday to your husband! I would have made him a card anyway! Your cards are wonderful and so is this latest painting. The ballerinas are coming out fab! Have a great time at the birthday festivities. Hugs ~ Happy PPF. :-)
Hi Netty
Congrats on your win from The Artistic Stamper blog candy!
Loving Marianne very much, you are so very talented i really do like your ballerinas too.
Hope you enjoy your party and are feeling much better:-)
heehee...love your style :) We are hard pressed to find a man with taste, this is true! :)
Your Marianne painting is just lovely, turned out wonderfully...as will your dancers I am certain! :)
Hope your husband enjoys the many days of celebration :) xx
They are both beautiful!
Great work:) It's always fun to visit your blog. You are so creative and talented:)
Hugs, Heidi:)
MARIANNE is beautiful. Your BALLET piece is going to be wonderful! HAPPY PPF!
Netty, your paintings are oustanding!!! Just a poem ! I`m excited.
Oh WOW!! you are one talented lady. I love how you showed us you drawing before you put paint down.. I cant wait to see the finished painting..
My husband says the same thing.. About my crafting and about blogging. for some reason he thinks I am the only one in the world who does this. Your right men have no taste at all...
Hugs, Linda
Love the paintings. Hope you have a wonderful weekend. :)
Netty I love your project and the sketch and painting of the ballett ladies looks fab.
Hopy your husband has a great celebration, but I know mine would have been upset if I didn't make him a card, but then again we are all individuals with our own taste ;-)
Hugs
Marianne turning out wonderfully and the Ballerinas are off to a great start!!
He doesn't want a card you made? No taste indeed!
Marianne is so beautiful- that gold was the perfect finishing touch! And IO love the ballerinas already- great composition and the colors are already fabulous!
Happy birthday to your hubby!
You don't have to explain yourself to anyone Netty! Your painting is very regal and the sketch and indeed painting of the ballerinas is ACE. Your very talented x
These are lovely Annette. All I can say for your husband is that he obviously had the good taste to choose you, lol.
great post, love the ballerinas so far! My husband doesn't really like my art either... he says he appreciates my talent he just doesn't care for my subject matter!
Hi Annette, Marianne is just lovely the gold paint in her braids and gown is perfect:0) The ballerinas painting is going to be wonderful, I know it:0)
I think hubby is misguided and I wish him a very happy birthday LOL Have a great week and enjoy all the celebrations, hugs Gay xxx
oh these are all just gorgeous! I hope you are feeling better each day and that your hubby has a very happy 70th birthday! :)
Wonderful paintings! Your dancers are beautiful, cant wait till they are complete!
That B&W version of the ballerinas is awesome! The lines are so light and graceful, loads of implied movement. Lovely painted stage too.
Well,, she's all done and looking marvelous!!! love the new one too! when do you find time enough even to start, for heaven's sake? The days are so short here this summer,it makes me yearn to be able to commandeer a clock and make time turn back magically for once.
Hope you and your family have a great time for your husband's 70th! And hope you can sneak in a little more time for painting!
;)

Happy birthday to your husband. Wow - love yor ballerina painting - I don't know about this being the first stages - I love it as it is with that vibrant blue - I would happily display that in prime place with nothing further added :0). Xx
Marianne is gorgeous & I love the way the gold highlights the painting. And your ballerinas are lovely. Great blue colour on the dresses.
Enjoy all the Birthday celebrations with your husband! Shame on him not liking your cards ;-)
Kat X
