Well done Penny, I love all the texture with this.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ann. Texture is fun.
DeleteOh how I envy all of you that can paint. I have spent my whole adult life hoping that when I wake up one morning, I can either sing like a bird or paint like all of you. It "ain't" happened yet and I'll turn 77 in December. lol Maybe I'll be met at the Golden Gate with a blank canvas and lots of beautiful paints. :)
ReplyDeleteGrandma Moses started late, so you can always accomplish what you set out to do, no matter when. I take classes, practice every day, and hopefully get better with each painting. Go for it!
DeleteSCARY...and perfect for Halloween!
ReplyDeleteI did only a few paintings for Halloween this year, but this is my fave.
DeleteGreat job on the shape and texture of the skull!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joan. Skulls are hard. LOL.
DeleteDefinitely spooky for Halloween. The skull came out great.
ReplyDeleteSpooky is good, right?
DeletePerfect choice with Halloween coming up. Must have been fun to do those shadows!
ReplyDeleteTook my breath away! Did not fall into a faint from fear, but might have. Great job on this skeleton! Very Still Death! I liked that too.
