I've been watching a lot of Mystele's You Tube videos lately and was playing last night and decided to try her style of a girl. She's much more loose with her painting and I struggle with that but it was still fun.
Obviously I won't put this one up for sale as it's more her than me, but I just wanted to share my experiment in her technique and 'look'.
The wording says: I know we are supposed to Grow......but I don't think it was like this!'
I painted this pudgster after having scalloped potatoes and ham for supper and was feeling a little 'full'. ha!
Then I watched the Biggest Loser and had a dream about working out. I was REALLY pushing myself too! I wonder if that burns any calories? I mean, obviously the thought was there :)

I love Mystele's work! You did a great job Darla!! Loosening up is harder that it seems!
Happy Thanksgiving!!

Great minds think alike - I've been watching Mystele as well - she is sooooo inspirational for me. You did a great job!
I too love Mystele's work. As for dreams, well, we can only dream!! LOL Remember, there's always those pesty New Year resolutions!
Love it totally Darla, this is fabulous!

*Yay* we all love Mystele!!
I have learned so much from that lovely lady, I have been playing all day in my 'sketchbook project' journal and it's all thanks to Mystele.
Your painting is gorgeous and I agree that loosening up can be difficult, I finally feel I am getting there with that though, so I'm sure you will too.

lovely work!
i think the nighttime workout is just as helpful as any other ;)
Hi Darla,
I just want to ditto Luthien and go look at Mystele's work.
I enjoy you as always,
xox, Lisa
Nothing wrong with inspiration!
Actually, it is not copying, your painting is your own. Nice work!
xox, Lisa
Loving the earthy colours in this one! I've never heard of Mystele either but I'll be checking her out for sure now!!!
As for dreaming about exercise, I'd love to think that you could burn calories like that hahahahah you are funny!!!
You did a great job on the painting, Darla. OH, how wonderful it would be if all we had to do to get thin was just dream ourselves exercising....sigh...hmmmmm....might be worth a shot ~ ;)
This is beautiful Darla and I have to thank you for the link as I had never seen Mystele's work, beautiful! I love your version of it too and the saying is perfect!
Darla, I love this, and though you were painting like Mystele, it still has your own flair to it. I took her Gut Art class, and loved it. If you like taking online classes, I highly recommend it!
