paint



my next-door art museum must already be effecting me, because yesterday i detoured by art media on my way home and got my first "bigger" canvas (30x40in).

it looks better in real life, it's almost as big as my dinner table, and i'm really really pleased with it. i only knew when i started it yesterday that i wanted it to be a portrait. when i laid down the background it sortof appeared from the shadows.

it's not perfect, and i'd tweak a few things if i had it to do over, but i really like it. now i need an even bigger canvas.

That is really good! Well impressed. Just been looking back at your galapagos piccies and thought all the numbered tortoises looked hilarious!
