Africa in a vase

Here's the acrylic painting I finished a little while ago. The objective was to paint a vase... and I wanted to paint one of the photos I took in Africa, so here's the result! Hope you like it... admittedly a bit odd, but when did I ever shy away from an unusual project. :)

Sorry if the white balance isn't quite on here... I really need to color correct my monitors.

I've started another painting on a canvas this time, also one from an Africa photo. I'm really enjoying this one so far.

In other news, I'd highly recommend "A Tramp Abroad" by Mark Twain. I'm only about a fifth through it, but it's really funny. It's got Twain's biting wit and great observational humour.

Later,
