Painting… 

Yeah, yeah, I know. Like I need another, another hobby. I feel like it’s the natural progression from sketching however. I haven’t been sharing much art here, but I have been working away at it continuously over the last several months. The last thing I posted on the blog was a sketch of a poppy in a field. Here is the acrylic painting of that sketch. Given my work in progress is a story about the First World War, I think this is a good first painting to share.

Poppy in a field

This sketch of a lone poppy in a field is going to be the basis for a painting. That’s right… I’ve been busy sketching, although I haven’t really posted anything in a while. I’m keeping the blog focused on writing going forward. However, my art work is a nice creative break from writing all the time.
