This piece I did a while back when I lived in Bowling Green, and was finally able to hang it up in our new bedroom. I like how peaceful it looks :) I got the canvas from Jaclyn, who worked at GAP at the time; they had this giant canvas with a black and white picture of a little boy printed on it and were going to throw it away! So instead of wasting it she gave it to me. I'm pretty sure it took 3 layers of paint before I decided exactly what I wanted to do. The first painting I did on it was hideous (or at least I thought so).
That's the problem with my approach in art is that I usually don't have a vision before I paint something...I just paint whatever I feel, I guess. Like I get in to the mood to paint something, but never really know what until I dip the brush in the paint and go with it.
I start shadowing on the job next week, and then start my actual schedule the following week. So hopefully within the next few weeks I will have time to paint something new...since I do need a few more paintings for the bedroom.
