Gifts and giveaways.

The kids have started to bring me little gifts-things they find in the garden which they think I might want to paint. OH YES, I DO! Things like these mushrooms.

I love being able to paint things from a real 3d object. And I love the smell of mushrooms as I paint away. I have to be quick though, they will actually start to dry and shrivel under my strong lamp in the time it takes to paint them. By the morning they are totally different.

These two paintings measure 5 1/2''x12" (they have enough white border to be perfect with a 5"x11" mat opening). [This is something I learnt was important when I went to get a frame for my frog...]

And I have decided to do a giveaway with these. Leave a comment on this post by Friday 9pm (eastern US) and I will choose 2 winners to send these to.

    I feel a bit mean trying to win one of these paintings, when I have 2 'Georgia Mars' originals already, but hey, I can't resist! The detail is exquisite and the shadows are stunning! Wendy xx

    I wondered why the house was falling apart these holidays... You've been practising! They're good and I want one to go with my other 'shrooms!
