Warmup - Llama Leader


At first I thought the shape was a giant flower with a flamingo coming out of it, but clearly it was a kid in a weird hat leading a white llama.  Silly me.

Warmup - Ace of Spades


Apparently the series of animals is over for now.

I think this one turned out pretty well, even considering the stupid cropping and tangents.  An odd composition but maybe it works with this guy.

Warmup - Window


Still working on these.  This was a window from a reference photo I took in Poland of a famous house known as "Malgosia" which is the Polish name for Gretel (as in "Hansel and Gretel").  There is also a Hansel house beside it.

I have some fond memories of the town square from when I was very small, but for some reason I don't remember these houses at all.

Warmup - Kingfisher


The shape of my blotches was kingfisher-like, but it was weird how I picked the right colours for it at random.  Next time I might have to avoid diagonal branches.

Painting Warmup


I've decided to start doing these small acrylic paintings to get back into the painting groove.  I just start blobbing things about and eventually it starts looking like something and then I go get some reference.

I might sell some of these at Art Walk this year.
