Artist's Comments

I wanted to try my hand at painting. I thought it would be a lot easier but it isn't for me. My sisters make it look so easy. I like this one. I made it for me teacher actually cuz I like her (on her good days), but I don't know if I'll give it to her. The scanner kinda messed up the rich, vibrant colors a bit. Oh. well

you're welcome! i'm sure it does, scanners can't really capture the work as it really is :( did you try taking a picture of it?

no i didn't have a camera, (But now i do) plus i always thought taking a picture ruins the colors even worse than scanning...

I'm really enjoying the bright and almost abstract color patterns on the rich red, and the very real and no less fantastic snail with its balloon. It's even smiling!

You discovered my other account--oh no! Well I guess it's not too hard to find.

Yep, my favorite part of this I think is the background which looks even redder in real life. The scanner turned it orange-ish. Thank you so much for your comments! I really do appreciate them :heart:
