Which Way To Put It?

Best Blogger TipsHaving trouble in deciding what way to have this one orientated! HELP! Haha...

This picture doesn't really do it justice. There's a lot of silver/bronze/gold that shines lovely in the light! I'm going to gloss it when it's fully dry so that the colours pop even more!

And so it begins...

Right, I've actually decided to set up shop and sell my paintings, to see if anyone does actually like them that aren't my friends or friends parents! Haha... My mother has had her last painting and is hung on the wall now, so she no longer has any wall space for more of my creations, so I thought the best way to do it was the flog them to other people! This is the painting that I did for my mother, it's one of my favourites so far!

 It's a wave, but it's whatever you want it to be!

OMG!

One of my friends showed her mother my paintings and now she wants 5! YEY! I love that someone can look at my work and be inspired/excited enough to pay money for it! The paintings in question are to be hung in their newly built house in Sierra Leone... Victoria Richards is going international! Ha. Now I'm panicking if I'm going to get them right and to the standard that they want, which is always a bit daunting, but never the less, a challenge!

Also, another friends mother wants a painting, but this one really is a challenge, she wants my version of the 'Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe'... being a child minder, she feels like this and wants to be the childminder who lived in the shoe. So I've begun research and its going to be a toughy! I'm not used to fine art/illustration and the one ones I really have done were the pictures for my little cousin (who is subsequently due today!) so I really need to practice those sort of skills a bit more and then have a go. You shall see the finished result on here, and you can judge for yourself if I have it right, which will be probably not!
