Okay, this painting has a funny history. She started out a girl, turned into a boy, and ended up a girl at the end. I love how paintings transform as you work on them. Gender changes are pretty normal for my paintings. I never know how it’s going to turn out, and until the painting is completely finished. I often ask my painting, “Are you a boy or a girl?” I wait a few seconds for an answer, then I pick up the brush, and keep painting. Ah, she’s a girl! Okay then.This painting is available for purchase at Etsy, or directly through me.
Only two days left of the 30 Paintings in 30 Days and 29 Faces Challenge. Wow! I’ll be sad to see it end. It’s funny, I almost didn’t do either challenge. I was so nervous putting my link up on Leslie’s blog the first week. I would literally get a little sick to my stomach. I felt very intimidated. There are a lot of very talented artists doing the challenge, and I was worried I wouldn’t be good enough. With 29 Faces, I only had to add my link once, so that was easier. 🙂
By week two, I was adding my link to Leslie’s blog every morning like a pro. haha I got over feeling so shy, and inadequate. I think it’s because so many artists commented here, and it made me stop doubting myself. I began to relax, settle in, and get comfortable.
Thanks, everyone!! 🙂
