I quickly took some photos of both the artworks I've been working on at the stage they are right now. Because the paint is still wet {they both literally just come off the easels} and the light is fading they are not the best photos, but I just couldn't wait to share {impatient me}, and it is Paint Party Friday after all.
I think 'Valentine' {above} is done! I will have to wait until the morning and have a look at the painting with fresh eyes {not tired ones} to make the final decision. It would be nice to say this one is finished though!
Again, not the best photo... I started this painting with it in mind to submit it for Inspiration Avenue's weekly challenge on 'What inspires you?'. I'll see how I go tomorrow and this evening {if I get some time to work on it} as I'd like to have it finished before I put it up on the blog, there is still many things I'm not happy with, and those hands, have not even got a coat of paint yet!
Talking about inspiration, I set up a linky this week for artist to share their blogs and the blogs of others in order to get inspired and admired :) Feel free to go over and add your blog, I'd love to know what you do.
Oh wow Tracey two stunning and delightful paintings. Happy PPF, Annette x

After your post last week I looked up Carrick and Fox. Very inspirational. Obviously you felt the same way. Great new painting, and Valentine is still wonderful, finished or not.
ReplyDeleteWow, your paintings are stunning! *o*
ReplyDeleteI love them both, but especially love the expression of the second one... Awesome work!
