2 lanes progress
This composition is so incredibly pyschologically satisfying. It really scratches some kind of perceptual itch in my brain.---Greg Baus
Thanks Greg for my first wordy review
Ugh. Okay, I've been working with these pictures to make them look accurate and I just can't get it just right. But I wanted to show you what 3 hours looks like on this painting. Doesn't look like much does it? So next time your like, "whoa $400 for that!" Remember what 3 hours looks like on this little one. But of course all of my readers are such art enthusiasts that they don't question that. I'm almost done with this one, I have to go over it with puff paint and create some good lines. Then on to the triptych. And I think I might do a tutorial on the steps I take to do make these paintings and put it on my website. Lynn convinced me to do it. I mean if all these crafty moms can do tutorials for knitted felted appliqued mushroom and squirrel jumpers with matching socks, bonnets and a plushie to go with it, why can't I do one for a painting that only requires a few materials and no machines of any kind! Well, I take that back: a camera and a computer are good to show off your progress and to find and capture images. Personally I don't know what I'd do without either.

Katie, I'm loving these colors. Glad you decided to do the tutorial. Cause you need just one more thing to do. . .

i've been waiting for you to post all day long. eating up ever last of your paintings, a tutorial sounds like the best idea ever! just a thought...wondering maybe about the angle of the cars lights, they seem to point directly toward the viewer, even though the road stretches out at a diagonal. so so so lovely! can't wait to see the triptych! ouch it's all going to hurt our pockets!
