After I put the rooms back together this arvo, its time for some painting!
I have reached 50 followers, but haven't put up the giveaway yet, as I'm still painting it - so stay tuned!
I'm very excited to get two very special commissions of brahman bulls. Special because they are from a friend, and double special because she wants them painted on corrugated iron, which is going to be both a learning curve and lots of fun!
I also am about to start a white angel, to match my 'First Woman, Last Angel' painting, which is a commission from the buyer of said painting. Aaaaand paint some viking ships for (hopefully) the upcoming Mornington Show. I am very pleased to say one of my Viking ships was bought by a Norwegion and has been sent to his home in Italy.
I found an awesome model wooden hull at a garage sale, for $2, so can't wait to restore it and have that sitting somewhere special, and use it for a reference for my paintings - but have yet to get started on building my viking ship!
And, though I primarily use Rembrandt and W&N artist brand paints, I am lucky enough to have stumbled across a sale at The Art Shop and bought myself some fine Mussini paints (earthen colours, siennas, ochres, transluscent browns) for only $8 a tube, and I think they are the older ones before they changed the making process, so I am a very happy chappy! And, to make me double happy, I also ordered some Venitian turpentine from them OMG cannot wait to use that with my angel painting.
Well, best get on with things.....
