A painting for my mother-in-law to be.
|
Stage I: Prep |
|
Stage II: Laying down a foundation of colour. |
|
Stage III: Blending |
|
I wasn't really happy the results so I decided to start afresh. |
|
I wanted more of a glowing feel. |
|
But ended up with more of a sunburst. |
|
"Please, Hunny Bunny, can I paint too?" |
|
"Ladies and Gentleman, I present to you..." |
|
"Crux Invicta" |
|
"Ta da." |
|
"Look at me! I'm an arteest." |
|
"A little dab of paint here, a little there." |
|
"Hmmm, I think it is missing something, ahh yes, the cross.." |
|
Phase IV: Palate knifing in the cross. |
|
I do contortionist work on the side. |
|
Behind me, that is Assyrian for: "You are in trouble Mister.", because I'm taking a selfie while standing on a chair. (Really, I was using the phone camera, like a mirror, to view the top edge of the painting better, but shot a selfie while I was at it.) |
