Description
Just poppin' in to show you what I've been up to today. There was a present on my doorstep this afternoon when we came home from a meeting at Chambers of Commerce...and it was my new Wacom tablet :D
So I wanted to paint something different. I haven't done a portrait in a long time, and the last time it was in oil on canvas...which is very different from this.
This is painted from the base and up. Took 6,5 hours, including the sketching. After 4 hours I had to take a break and grab a smoke...I was getting so darn restless and I couldn't figure out why at first...LOL Totally obsessed when I begin to do something like this.
Other than that I'm alive :p We (me and my partner) officially open the web development biz on December 8, so there's a lot to do. Hunting down customers if nothing else :p
Hope yer all doing okiday. And Happy Thanksgiving to all of you in the US :D
