Artist's Comments

...or ladybug to those over the pond.

So I had another play with the acrylic paint today. :D

I had tonnes of fun and only stopped because people were moaning about not being fed, I hadn't eaten, so why the heck would they need to?

So this is not really finished....but I couldn't be bothered to do it as a WIP so I'll just edit this lot when I've finished it... I need to do bits of tweaking on the antenna and I want to make the wood texture better .

Got the photo from the amazing stock gallery of :iconrtystock: aka ME! [link] :giggle: so yeah I painted one of my own photos :faint:

I'm pretty damned chuffed with it though...I think I might do more paintings. :D

It's had about 5 hours work up to now.

Acrylic on canvas 12" x16" (30cm x 40cm)

EDIT: I've played around with the wooden background and although it's not really as I would like I'm worried that I may overwork it so I'm leaving it at that for now. So I think I must have spent about 6 or 7 hours on it altogether.

thanks Steve...hopefully when I get a bit more practice in I'll be able to get them as photo-realistic as my drawings. :)
