I started at the end of last year, then came the holidays and the Christmas period which naturally meant it was put on the back burner. But it's nearly finished. It still needs some touch up work, some flowers don't look like flowers and the table is a little flat, otherwise it's pretty much done.
I have another canvas which is begging to be painted on... I just need to decide what I'm going to put on it. I wanted to do something graffiti-based, but it's not easy to emulate the style with paintbrushes. I could use spray paint but I decided that I'm not going to splash out extra on a bunch of cans when I have a ton of oils and acrylics, plus my can control isn't that good. Ahh, decisions.
I'm thinking about changing this blog's colour scheme. Dark greys and blacks are easy on the eyes and blue is one of my favourite colours, but it's not exactly a "happy" overall look.
I also plan to post more sketches and other ideas, rather than just posting final pieces. I need to get back into a sketching/doodling frame of mind, regardless of how crappy I think they'll turn out. If the Mayans and other wacky prophets are correct this will be my last year to ever post here, so I might as well take advantage of the time we have left :P
Roll on, 2012.
