Splash preps!

i've been driving myself crazy starting pics and not finishing them, but i'm finally beginning to make a dent in the backlogged pile that's following me around the house (integral part of procrastination is finding a different room to paint in every few hours which involves at least 15 minutes of needless re-preparation...). but yes, these are some ones i should have ready for the Splash festival, if i can find enough frames in time.

here's a personal favourite. i started to panic halfway through this one that it was going all wrong, but somewhere in the last few touches it turned into something i really like. particularly fond of her right tree.


worked a little on a large canvas that i've been ignoring for about a month. i've started on oils with it, which i think are working a bit better.
