i love to paint. i'm not sure i'm very good at it, but i do really like to do it. these are somethings i've painted. for the two vertical canvases, the heart for Africa and the feet, i used a template and my own feet, respectively. for the world, i free-handed the continents while studying a map, and guesstimated the allowance for the curvature of the earth. The birds i penciled in and filled in, but the branches were all free hand, which is probably why they are so numerous. I paint with acrylics, typically washing the background and painting over it with undiluted paints, but i have begun experimenting with dilutants and other mediums.
