Rainbows

This is the latest attempt at finger painting and belive me I'm getting filthy doing it - it's a bit dodgy and a long way from finished but I do like tree..

It's taken from a photo I took out of the office window on a blustery day .... as it's spring the tree is now covered in buds.

I love watching the seasons.

ta- Daaah !

It's finished - though Dirks hair does somewhat resemble a badly made merkin - and it only took me what - counting on both hands and feet, about 6 months. :)

...oddest thing ..

Oddest thing, but do you know, my favourite part of this painting is Dirk's shirt ...it's not that I don't think I got the heads almost right but, but I actually nailed the shirt .... you know, I really really miss my dad ....

Blue

Have started on the blocks of colour now - Dirk's Shirt, Freya's blamket and the background ... mainly this is to avoid doing the details related to Freya's mouth - 'ts got me somewhat stumped at the moment ..

Looking Pink

Can't beleive it's almost there - am hoping the clothing, draperey and background won't cause dramas the way 'noses' do .....

beautiful day here today - and weekend starts tomorrow

... And now for "Tumps""

Finally started on Tumps - she's pink I know but these are highlights so she won't be quite AS pink when it's finished ... again the fingers are crossed... we'll see

Things are developing

After two disastrous art classes, I'm blaming hormones - I think the pic is coming along - granted he does now sport a severe case of jaundice but it was either that or a glowing sunburn - I emailed a copy of the pic to Dirk yesterday and he thought it was a warped photo - so at least he recognises himself in it ... this is a plus!
