They Aren't Crooked

In life, the shutters and window are not crooked, but in my painting they are. Still, I would be lying if I didn't say that I am absolutely thrilled with this painting. I did it for the postcard project at Wet Paint, so it's small.  There were a lot of details to fit into 4 inches by 6 inches. I used bright brushes in size 2, 4, and 6.

I did this over 3 days. Here is the progress after day 2.

Oops. Here's a break for a commercial announcement. Chandler the orange cat, who likes to walk on my keyboard, wants all of you to have a happy "bn bn bn bn bn bn" from him.

Here is the final painting!

#249 - Cabin Bedroom - 4" x 6" - paper

I added the bits of sky peaking through at the very end and it made the painting look much more grounded and real to me.

It's the best feeling when I've pushed myself and done the absolute best that I can for my current skill level, plus I end up with something that pleases me. It does not happen that often, but when it does the feeling is magical.
