I felt nervous starting the church, since it's a huge colorfield in the image. I think I need to fill in some more areas to see if it jives. What do you think?

Painting around the roof. I was a little nervous to start this, it's a big field of color and I don't want the piece to look unbalanced! Stay tuned, I guess?

A lot more painting to be done. I love search and find pictures, always have, probably always will! It's been a lot of fun inching this one along. I hope you like this one.

I was recently asked if I listen to music when I work. Generally, yes I do, though sometimes I get so absorbed, I forget to ever turn something on!
Fellow Artists! Do you listen to music when you work?

Not going to lie, I'm beginning to get some Giger/Alien vibes from this one.

So excited to get some color on this! Do you think the skeleton and lady are looking at this post on their phones?
