Jazz


As promised I'm back here again. Over the last few days Ive been painting Rachel a birthday card. Ive not painted dogs for a few years so this was quite a challenge.
I used thinned down cheap Reeves acrylic paints. I thought this painting would just be a practise piece but decided to use this anyway as the painting was as near to the photo image that I could get it. There were moments of frustration when I just had to walk away and leave the painting then go back to it later.
Hope all of you are having fun and being creative, its a lovely sunny day. I feel a bit shaky and weak so will have to take it easy and just read a book.

thats a lovely idea to paint for your pal's birthday card! I've still kept mine that you painted me - I think that painting is a skill and judging from the pic I'd say you are pretty skilled!!
Oh! I often have to walk away too - sometimes you need a break to get fresh eyes on a project and sometimes machines too! I've walked off in huff from my overlocker MANY times!!
