Happy Christmas 2013

 Happy Christmas!  Better late than never.  Started this too late not really giving myself enough time to get it finished.  I could have refined it a bit more with more time.

Tiger Parachute Spitpaint

Tiger -Parachute?

It is what it is. 

Invulnerability Spitpaint

Invulnerability Spitpaint

A spitpaint on the theme invulnerability. 

Still Life Vegetables

Still Life Vegetables

A humble still life of a number of peppers.  Bought these to paint and I think I got them painted before they went past their prime.  Simple subject but hard to execute.  Haven't worked from life in months and I definitely felt it.  Orange pepper voted the worst.

Calling Home

Calling Home

It seems I have been working on this for ever.  I have worked on it for 1-2 hour sessions for the last 2 weeks or so.  Don't know if that helped or not.  I kept on returning to it with fresh eyes but ended up radically reworking stuff so it felt stalled for a long time.  I suppose it forced me to work through the problems- not saying I managed to fix everything.

Umbrellas spitpaint

Umbrellas spitpaint

Another spitpaint. Used a custom shape brush for this - cant remember which one.  I am working on something a bit  more involved than this at the moment just want to get it finished a bit more before posting. 

God of winter -Spitpaint

God of winter -Spitpaint

You come all this way and all I got for you is one lousy spitpaint.  Other demands on my time has seriously hit my productivity.  sorry for the slim pickings these days.  I am hopeful things will get back to routine in the New Year but for now I give you the God of Winter. A whole 30 minutes of effort.
