I did this painting yesterday in about three hours for a charity silent auction at work. I’m working on the very difficult (for me) concept of painting fast. It’s kind of hard for me not to just sit there and nitpick at it for hours. This is only the second completed oil painting that I have done…. I have started a lot of them, but since I take so long they never seem to get finished. The whole painting fast idea sort of helps since it provides (almost) instant gratification—so maybe there will be a lot more of these in the future.

Hey, I didn’t know you could paint! Look at you Miss Creative! And way to contribute to charity
