Since I finished medical rehab last year I'm so inspired again and I've been busy for months to finish things off. From paintings to having my garage done up to outdoor murals.

This painting is one that only needs a few more finishing touches, Birma Fields.
I started it in 2015!! Wowza, I thought last year, haha. Time goes fast.

Birma Fields, few finishing touches away from being done!




This is another one that I started long time ago, in 2012, before I even moved into my current home!!
I got stuck after I painted a woman in there that totally did not work out. I'd almost thrown it away, hihi.
Right now busy with it, suddenly inspired by someone's YouTube channel. Lot of work but I'm enjoying it!

It went from this...



to this... major 'happy accident'!



Today I made this, still not finished!!

More work done, getting to the end of this one, thank goodness as I'm growing tired of it. It's much easier to do a new one than to re-do an old one!

Photo isn't very sharp, unfortunately my new phone cam doesn't have IOS but it is what it is.

Worked on my painting again this afternoon :D
Adding a few close-ups for the nice details.

The bridge up top was fun to do!
And lots of things tweaked since the last painting session, one of which was making the tree trunk longer which visually brought the tree forward a bit...

The bridge :)



The niche -bottom right- was already there but now there's a nice glow in it :)



Hope that next session I can finish it off as it's been a lot of work!

Thank you, Julie. It's all the same painting with waterfalls though. Either the entire painting or close-ups.

Indeed! The dress Cinderella wore in the movie -with people- is stunning!! I read in an article it was made of many meters and layers and weighed a ton to wear. But holy moly, was it beautiful!! love

I'm so happy with this painting! I finished it this afternoon.
It was a joy to make :smile:
For now calling it "Goddess of the Woods". Might change yet, dunno.

I went back to acrylics and beginning to think that's more my medium than oils.
This is 20 x 30 cm and will definitely get a place on the wall somewhere!
