The last week of a really challenging and rewarding class for me. I have ventured beyond photo manipulation into actual art! Who'd have thought that I (still) had it in me? Anyway, again just two paintings. The first one is completely free hand, with a frame from Paint Shop Pro. The second painting is an as-yet unfinished attempt at portraiture, done by copying a vintage print of Santa. I am considering printing up a few of these for some really hand-made Christmas cards this year. And now I am going to take a break until after the holidays. Maybe!
