And suddenly it was finished. I can always sense when a painting is nearly done - I start to get bored and think about the next piece I have lined up, but I wasn't quite sure this one was ready. Turns out it was - just an hour's work yesterday and there it was, all done. I am very pleased with how this one has turned out - I haven't painted such a large acrylic for a very long time, plus the fact that while Mr.B was convalescing I didn't paint at all for two months, I wondered if I might have become rusty.
But just like riding a bike (actually, I can't ride a bicycle, so that's a rubbish analogy) it all came back to me. This is a private commission, heading off to Maine, USA.
Next up, quite an exciting one, a portrait of an army service dog complete with his medals in coloured pencil. I've been looking forward to getting my teeth into this one!
