About Me

Sunflowers
My mom always takes the most lovely pictures of sunflowers. I’ve wanted to paint this one for a while, so I tried it in digital watercolor in Painter. I have not yet mastered those darn digital watercolors. What always throws … Continue reading

Just some recreational painting tonight. A bachelor’s button, painted with the palette knife tools in Painter.
…and flowers
I toyed with the elf chick’s eyes quite a bit tonight. Too big. A little better. And then loads and loads of flowers. Click for fullview I now have the world’s worst artist cramp. Similar to writer’s cramp, except that … Continue reading
