January 2007 Archives

I've been working on this idea for several years, and finally got a chance to paint it over Xmas. It turned out a lot better than I expected, especially the salted water background. I did have to do the hair about 5 times, because none of the colors seemed right. But the transparent color I ended up with is pretty damn nice.

This is another take on my failed 2006 christmas card. I started this one *before* the other painting, but because it was in oil, it took considerably longer. I like it a lot more, however.
