This is an ACEO, or artist's trading card. The standard size for these cards is 3.5" x 2.5". It is done on TerraSkin which is always fun to use. I do like the watery look but that's about all I like.
So that you know that I'm not being a slacker, here is a photo of a large painting that I've been itching to work on which is probably part of the reason that I don't want to do any more daily paintings.
It is 48" x 48" and so far, I've got everything roughed in and now I'll start adding dimension to the water and lily pads and 'push' the fish under water. Doesn't this look like it's a lot more exciting to paint than those little daily paintings?
Congratulations - you deserve a nice big glass of wine. Completion brings it's own rewards. Don't think your first is soooo bad, think you are just over it. Do like what is to come on the second and will look forward to seeing more. Thanks so much for supporting me through this challenge, it certainly helped me see the finish line.
ReplyDeleteThank you Nelvia. Your support has helped me too and it's been nice adding you as a new blogging friend. The wine sounds like a great idea!
