| New painting -tooting my own horn blog |
I have to start by saying, I am no professional, I just started painting in May, so I won't even dare compare myself to that caliber. But I think I'm a damn good amateur.
I can't believe, I selected which photo, sketched it and started painting and have gotten this much done in one night and it looks pretty darn good. I can't imagine what the finished product will look like, as I usually have several, several edits and changes after paint has touched every surface of the canvas. I hope I keep intact the good parts during those edits, while fixing the little pieces I don't like with success.
I am hoping my mom will love this as much as I am so far, and I think I might do a series of Caden in this creek - as I have several shots. And I love the vibrance of his shirt!!
I took a break from painting for atleast a month or two - I got bombarded with baby shower presents I got a bit painted out in October. I forgot how much I love to paint my son!!
