gosh. :shocked:
*that is not my favorite style painting, either.*

I notice that Stevie has some trace edema to her left face. Sorry, that's coming from a nurse's view. :wavey:

$2,000 big ones for that? sorry, no real offense to the artist, but this is the kinda crap that gives portraiture artists a bad, & often "chessy" stereotype.... I know portraits/likenesses are a bitch to do sometimes, but damn, she didn't have to make the poor woman look like she's got lock-jaw, or down-syndrome, .... something fierce.... :distress: (i know.... i'm going to hell for that one).... one eye's bigger than the other & a tad slanted....

I have to chime in and say that that one is quite lovely compared to the pencil style crap on note-paper we have been seeing listed on Ebay. Still, $2000????? :lol:
BUT......even w/ the criticism, that artist has it going on. WAY better than anything I have seen on Ebay in a while. Kudos to their effort.

ITA... far better than the others that have been recently listed. But $2000?

Pip

he's taking best offers 2.00 !

the woman does have some skills, I'll give her that.... I guess its the style that I don't care for, in school we're taught to never paint like that. I know the artist isn't some great master, but take a look at a Cassatt or a Sargent portrait.... and then to auction it for $2000 to people who might not know any better & you'll see why this annoys me. I looked at her other paintings, some are actually way better than this one. Your right though, I don't think I've seen anything more ridiculous than that joker who tried to pawn off his/her scrap paper masterpieces of Stevie :laugh:

Imo She Should Stick To The Sport Stars And Leave The Rock Stars And The Horses Alone She Doesen't Have What It Takes To Do Them Justice

i never noticed her edema before.. :lol:

umm...
 

I have to chime in here --- there are some of her Stevie paintings which are very nice-- I saw one she did from the OSTM era which was almost the same as the airbrushed picture from the back of the OSTM album. I believe Stevie has commissioned Samantha October Wendell to do some portraits of herself.

One the other hand, some of the portraits I have seen, Stevie looks a little disproportioned. Her hands are really huge and manly looking, or there are other things which just don't look right.

Because of the size of this painting, which is considerably smaller than her other Stevie paintings, fair market value of this painting is in the $1000 - $1200 range. $2000? This seller is nuts! And so is anyone who buys it at that price.

Personally I don't like this one. JMO.

i dont like it :distress: it doesnt even look like stevie all that much either

Yes. . . . edema. . . . riiiiigggght. . . . .

HEE-HEE!

:xoxo:

Isn't the painting REMARKABLE though???

I think it's a "DEAD RINGER!"
