Noooo, the internet crashed and deleted the first version of this. Bugger.

 

Ok, in a nutshell: I don't go back to school until the 24th. Right now, I am getting rather cabin feverish, as I pretty much just sit at home all day and pretend to try to edit photos while talking to nice people online. This is great up to a point when I realize that as much as I absolutely love talking to people online, the photos are starting to drive me bonkers and there's nothing else to do at home except maybe watch movies, as the majority of my friends either work during the day or are already back at school.

 

So, I turn back to painting instead, since the amount of random canvases is really starting to pile up in my room. I did this in about five hours today, give or take a bit. I have no idea why I chose these objects for a still life, but overall I'm quite pleased with it.

 

I also kind of want to send this to my painting professor and be all "See? SEE? I can paint decent-looking stuff, it just doesn't work very well when I'm completely and utterly drained and stressed!"

 

(comments and critiques and such are lovely and appreciated, please and thank you)

Woooooo. Painting. You did a fairly sweet job at capturing the details of the still life. I have to say the sheen of the bottle is amazing. You did a wonderful job capturing the reflection of the shoe too. I’ve never painted like this on or off canvas so I tend to think paintings are amazing. Be ready for –a lot– of questions whenever I start taking my online painting class. I have no idea how that’s going to work out. Nice work though!

 

You could always try to 1UP the Harry Potter-esqe letters I sent. Either that or you could send Andrew a scented letter. I’m sure he’d love having a fragrant aroma bombardment again. :lol:

Oh no! Not a wax seal made from scented candles!

 

Nice painting too.
