Thanks to the Random Number Generator for making the drawing easy, it would have been awful to have to put 175 numbered scraps of paper in a hat :) Congratulations Amanda! And thank you to everyone who took the time to enter, it keeps me motivated to do more of these :)
I'm switching it up a little this monday morning, sometimes I forget that it's fun to paint night scenes. I really like how this one turned out, I wish I could have captured the actual colors used in the dark areas in this painting. I didn't use any black paint, so there's more interest in these areas than what the camera is showing :)
I finished this commission yesterday. I'm always nervous about commissions, but I really like how this one turned out, hopefully the buyer will too.
My husband and I are taking a fourth of July trip soon, which means I have to really get painting if I want to participate in the upcoming SCAPE show. I was counting on showing the few paintings I had from the last show, but they sold yesterday!...
This painting doesn't really portray my usual color palette... the sky is much more pastel-ish than I would usually prefer. But that's how the sky felt that morning, so I guess I can't complain.
