Work in progress: Day 6 Finished?



SORRY PHOTO NOT CROPPED STRAIGHT

I have put a gold band along the top panel and re-painted the verandah detail (again!) to get rid of the shadows I added as I thought they just didn't look right. I think it looks better with clean lines and colour. The painting is at the stage where I will put it up on the wall for a week or two to dry properly and give it a coat of varnish medium to protect it. I will then decide if I want to change anything. I am thinking of 'Reminds me of home' or 'Memoirs of home' for a title??.

Thank you for viewing my blog and watching this painting come to life, I have enjoyed doing it and will get another one on the go a.s.a.p. Please leave a comment or opinion of this work if you wish. Cheers Shelly :)

You are such a talented and amazing artist. I wish I had loads of money so I could buy all your work but as you know I don't. Don't ever sell yourself short as you are one very clever woman in many ways. Good luck with your up coming ventures. I like the title 'Memoirs of Home'.
