The latest painting I've listed is the one I did for the 'Different Strokes from Different Folks' blog created by Karin Jurick. Am I happy with the painting? Well!!!!! The first one I started I spent half a day on it and it still looked like a shocker!! For some reason I just couldn't get my head around it! So, it was ripped in half and I started all over again! This time I went through a different thought process when deciding how I would structure the painting. Seeing I've been having quite a bit of success with my portraits, why I didn't think of doing a portrait in front of the Victorian house right from the start...........who knows!!?
I've been watching Karin's blog each day to see how the other artists interperate the photo to be painted. What an amazing variety of artists post on that blog! I'm sure everyone who has seen the blog has picked one or two they like the most, I certainly have.
Anyway, this is the finished painting. I'm now looking forward to the next challenge simply because there's no way of knowing what the subject matter will be and that in it's self is exciting!
Cheers!

ps.......I have to say thank you to a lovely lady who introduced me to Karin's blog, it's opened my eyes to so much in regards to art from all over the world! Thanks mate!!
