sneeky peeky....

Well. Here it is. This is my third oil painting, and really the first one with a lot of detail. Im not sure how many hours I have in on this piece but let me tell you, it was fun doing it. Most of you that read this are artists yourselves, so you understand the process:
-Its a love/hate relationship. (love at first sight.. hate as last glance)
-The 'I have a dead line' feeling. (late hours.sleepless nights.)
-The, as i like to say, 'sunday night homework kid' aspect. ('"oh, ive got plenty of time" and starting it the week before deadline.)
Well. Its all worth it. Every single overblend, everytime I dropped a brush on previously painted section, dipping my paint brush in my coffee instead of Turpenoid.
The outcome is all worth it.
I finished one today.. and laid one out right when I got home....
But anywho, This piece is going to be in the Hope Gallery Grand Re-Opening, which I'm very proud to say I am apart of. The show is this Friday and as always, will be a spectacular event..
Til then..
