Took forever on this one to get what felt right. It was pretty depressing working on it the first several days. What I was going for just wasn’t happening, and parts felt so far off the mark that every digital brush stroke I made I was also wondering why I was going on with it, feeling perhaps I should abandon it altogether instead of investing more time. But I kept thinking, no, what I have in mind should happen at one point, and I kept on. And finally the “it” happened.<\/p>\n

I don’t post the personal photos I use for base reference for my digital paintings very often, and don’t know if I should go back and post them along with the paintings.<\/p>\n

Called “Shaina’s Pool” because it is. She’s a little girl who had her first birthday party this summer. I decided I wanted to do a nearing the end of summer painting and that this would be it. H.o.p. is on the left in the pool. Shaina’s mom is in the bright orange top, looking on the proceedings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
