Yeah I might have been slightly overreacting with regard to my previous post...the dirt has almost all brushed off now its dry and whats left surely adds to the authenticity of my work! I am over using picassa to try and edit my photographs of paintings though...seriously cannot make it produce correct colouring. This painting does not have the intensity of blue as it appears here.  Ill need to look at getting something more substantial for photo editing.

Oh yes, it was looking good...one might even say fantastic.... until it blew over and fell into the dirt. Now my oil painting is covered in stuff and I cant touch it until its dry :( Who...I ask ask you, who paints outside in the wind??? If it wasnt for Switchfoot right now I might have trouble dealing with this particular reality. Egads.

Onions and a crab claw

Todays offering...cant quite get the colour right to real life...it is looking a little on the green side. But you get the idea.
