Vanguard Artists, founded in 1977, is a premier group of professional artists who meet at 1:00pm on the first Friday of the Month (except summers) at the Sun City West Foundation in Sun City West, Arizona. Its major focus is to provide a forum for the critiquing of art work produced by each artist. This analysis of painting results in generating better quality work. Vanguard Artists, with its quest for excellence, enriches the community through networking, education and ultimately, finer art.

From Diane Eason
Vanguard member, Diane Eason, sent this WIP this morning for your critique. She says she has looked at this one so long that she feels she needs some fresh eyes to help her finish it.
Diane, I love the dreamy quality of this one! The only suggestion I would make is that the rest of the painting is so filmy/gauzy/barely there (can't find the right term I am looking for here!)except for the lips, which draw my eyes immediately to that spot. This also happens to be the center of the painting, so maybe if you toned the lips down some that would make this nice painting even better?
