Nothing more sophisticated that a portrait of one of my "pupils"... To keep it up with the sunny disposition. Acrylic ink and watercolor, of course.Strathmore paper, also.
I really like this kind of portraits, the colours are great, and well, she looks like as if the painter has sympathy for her, I like that... yes, I can see it here, this pupil has a soul... I am so thanksful that you show her to us, Danu... your pupils are somehow a part of yourself, If there is any possibility, one day (I Know you are in holiday right now) send her my love... have you the right to show us a little bit how she paints, like Susan does in her blogs when she has a workshop? It is just a question...
Thanks, miki, kind as usual... yes, I will salute her from your part when she'll write me from Ecuador. Unfortunatelly, even if I keep some copies in a kind of honour book, I do not have digital copies at hand. But, when I get back to work from this (unpaid) holiday I will try to find some samples. I had some tremendously gifted pupils (some who never paint or draw before) and nelida was quite good. She liked a lot to paint 9and that's the main thing, no?)
I was born with another name...not worse than any other, only more difficult to pronounce... So, when, in April 2002, I've become a full time visual artist, I've chose to re-name myself as Ion Vincent Danu. Ion, that's my middle name, my father's name also... short, not bad (since GM "Saturn" chose it too...), Vincent is an homage to Vincent Van Gogh and DANU because, apart from being my nickname (some of my family used to call me that, it's a diminutive for "Dan") but also it's a kind of YANG-YIN thing, it means, in Romanian, YES-NO. And it sounds good, I think... Japanese painters
did rename themselves each time they thought they entered a new creative phase... not a bad thing to do.
