I just love the roughness of the media to suit a very tired party-goer...Love how you captured the moment, looks like great fun.......isn't is wonderful when one gets down the reality so astonishingly well, as only you can do !.......fv........regards, VIVA

Viva -- getting "bombed" at the right place with frun friends is surely one of life's joys.

Bill, you must have kicked your incredible imagination into hyper drive when you drew Dorothy`s party. You earn the "I Quit Drinkin`" gold medal. This piece is wildly beautiful bro l.v.f.
Genevieve Esson

Wonderful depiction of Dorothy's mood after the party, Bill! To me her face shows the positive and negative aspects of how she feels... L/F
Rosa Cobos
Seems she is having a party for just her own...and quite glad to enjoy it too!. I like it very much. and for me, it has some really interesting way of letting us know that she is hidding her true feelings. And that is the shadowed right part of her face. It is having a pshychological searching on your side. Fantastic use of materials, strong and expressive. Rosa
Bill OConnor replied:
...interesting observations Rosa. Life itself is a party of many types. We celebrate, we morn, we "kibbitz." But we are always bringing with us our two sides -- the public persona and the "real" hidden inner us.

Hi Bill, I can see you trying all kinds of art! I like this one. I bet she had a great party! FAV.
Bill OConnor replied:
Hi Reynold -- a blank canvas and a piece of charcoal - anything is possible. She did have a great party -- thanks Reynold.

This is why I never liked alcohol. You captured that "the after party" feeling perfectly. Well done.
