First?
Wow Kim, three different things in one post, somebody is hardworking today! :)
Kim, I can't imagine u running out of paintbrushes, you must have a huge collection! ;)
Thanks for sharing this song Kim, I can picture u painting away with this one in the background. :):):)
Beautiful work.....
I played the Dr. Zhivago theme - nice choice! You can hear elements of Lawrence of Arabia, probably due to how close the films were done to each other. I love Maurice Jarre. David Lean and Maurice Jarre were my introduction to epic films and are still amongst my favourite for film and soundtrack....
yep yep Mariuca ...you're first!! ;)
I'll be sending you the 500 ECs when EC is back online..
this is an old favourite of mine and one that my Dad used to sing...
I've seen the movie countless times and met Omar Shariff IRL when I lived in London *sigh*
haha I'm always wearing the paintbrushes out...so new ones are always welcome...
hi Michelle ..thanks ...
I love Maurice Jarre's music too...it's certainly epic music and Dr Zhivago would have to be my all time favourite movie..
Welcome back to the blogosphere Kim, down tho EC may be...typing as I listen to your brilliant choice for Monday...yup, one of my favorites as well...I think I would have become EXTREMELY weak in the knees if ever I had met Omar Shariff...big fan, especially of his, especially in 'Funny Girl'...but Dr. Zhivago, right up there w/ 'Reds'...
Daphne is so lovely...beautiful..
We're in a cold, rainy, snuggle in the house Sunday night...:)))
I'm not even born when this movie was released. But it has a good music score.
Thanks for sharing this beautiful music :)
Multi-tasking again I see. I like the FIRST section best :)
The portrait has an emotional feel to it, almost as if I can hear her thoughts. I love the contrasting light and dark hues. A visually stimulating piece.
I must get a music post done! MM has been fun so far.
Congrats on the awards - I better get busy and catch up with them too (wink)
Happy week - "naughty" (J/K) :-)
Ha haaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!
One day we shall gather up Ms Amy Lilley and all of us will paint together! :)
The portrait looks ethereal!
I seldom listen to music as need listen to my boy...
Do you get anything for being #7? After all it's hard for us over here on the other side to be first...LOL!!
Unless of course you can't sleep!! and that's me tonight!!
The portrait is just beautiful Kim! I really am so glad now that she will be getting it.
I think it was the perfect pick!
Happy day mate:-)
Kim, the portrait is coming along so well - quite a large canvas also. He will love it.
YAY I won, thanks Kim! :):):)
Wow u met Omar Shariff IRL?? That is so cool Kim, enjoy the rest of ur day. :)
I love music and there's one which I listen and forgot the name... its a group singing something to do with heart and soul
I've been working as a Digital Artist for a little over 3 years now. I miss painting on canvas. This is so gorgeous~
I hope someday soon, I'll return to canvas.
Is that a painting? Wow, I thought it was a big photo (I mean that as a compliment) - it's so beautifully done.
She certainly is beautiful Kim, and your portrait looks like it's coming along just great! What a treat it will be to get that wonderful piece of portraiture!
Kim, thanks so much for taking the time to stop and visit. I appreciate the beautiful comment you left.

Hello Kim,
It's coming on so beautifully Kim, you have done an enormous and marvelous job beyond my expectations.

thanks Lisa...
I'll post the full length photo with the finished portrait next week...it is stunning!!!
have a lovely Thursday :)
Oh, I'm sorry, Kim is it? Might I say your blog is quite brilliant.
First off, feel free to delete my name from the music Monday list. After I entered my name, I slowly read the last sentence a bit to late...
I must say though, I haven't experienced a blog quite like this one, the portrait looks incredible, the whole music thing sounds quite fun. Great choice by the way. I enjoy all music save for one or two genres that probably shouldn't be genres at all if you ask me. Anyway...the idea is to post a link to my post of music for the day?
I think the functionality in your post is ingenious too. Count me in for next Monday!
Btw, I've added you to my list of Premier drop sites. Hope you don't mind. :)
It looks beautiful!
yay I am so happy. Thank you Kim
RUN RUN RUN...
too slow...
TAGGED my friend :)

A late thanks for the EC credit..

Makes me wonder if I should do a portrait of my daughter from her wedding. Inspirational!
Alakazam!

Happy Birthday to your mom!!:-)
I hope you have a marvelous day. Or did it already happen over there?
I get so confused with you being on the other side. I am awake while you are sleeping.
