Caroline VS The Canvas

I can't believe it's been nearly 5 months since I last posted and therefore last worked on my painting. For one reason or another, whether it be work or life, I've gone slighly (read completely) off track with my creativity and only now feel that I can get back to it. Every time I've walked past the canvas or even dared to stand and scrutinize it, it sat there quietly mocking me with its unfinished layers of green paint, daring me to try again, knowing full well that I wouldn't. But this weekend was different, it was me against the canvas...it, armed with nothing but a few layers of dust, and me, a microfibre cloth in one hand and a paintbrush in the other - there could only be one winner...

...and the winner was...



...haha no seriously, here's the finished painting (I won of course, although unfortunately the wrist strain is for real):




And just to keep track of the progression of the painting, here are the step by step photos:

Saturday 22nd June - 4 hours



Sunday 23rd June - 6 hours





No doubt that when I look at this again in the next few days there may be some extra little tweaks to be made, but for now I'm happy with the progress I've made in the past 2 days!
