i got the idea from a tutorial. but i wanted to paint something of my own. so i had this grungy window and consulted google images for what a lush flower box looked like. then i remembered in the old country a place, we always passed when walking to school, with vines climbing up on the wall as the plants had been neglected and left unchecked. this was the result.
i find that once i start to paint, i just want to keep going until it's finished. which is a bad idée because i forget to have dinner. wait, maybe that's a good idea, non?
Whoa!!!! The window looks a bit flat,compared to the gorgeous flowers!!! There's depth in the bunch and a lot of lively colours. You're killing me with that wall... you got it so right, just as you did on the door painting. The shadows on the window sill (or does that have another name? I mean the left and top space) are excellent. Well done!!!!!!
By the way, these days i haven't been able to keep up with all the photographs and maybe you already wrote about it, but how did your colleague receive the door painting?
I can totally identify with the thought process of not wanting to start painting to do the mundane, like fix dinner, wash the laundry, clean the house. Years ago when I was much younger I felt the same way. I realized I could live for days with doing nothing but painting but I had a family and had to force myself to stop. Perhaps someday I will get back into it. I really like this photo of your painting you are doing so well with it.
