I set myself an art challenge. I needed to stop procrastinating and complete the painting before February 10th.
It would be the first time I have painted on a canvas larger than 30X30cm, the canvas board I used was 40X50CM.
I needed to overcome fear. The fear of making a mess of the painting. I didn’t stress and just got it done.
I have overcome my fear plus completed it before the deadline.
The Painting is my impression of Lake Tekapo South Island New Zealand and The Church of The Good Shepherd.
I had painted it to suit my needs. It had to include snow capped mountains, the lake, the church and lupins. I am not good at drawing buildings and have never attempted lupins until now.
I am pleased with my effort and the end result. I now need to budget to have a frame build round it and also hire a handyman to install a picture hook on my brick wall. ….. all that will have to wait until after my impending holiday.
Beautiful π Great work!

I don’t always remember varnish pictures. I probably should to protect them….

Thanks for the compliment Sandy, much appreciated. I keep looking at the lupins and thinking the younger ones need improving and maybe a bit taller but then I think they grow wild so I will leave them as they are.
