Can anyone guess what song this painting is inspired from? I will make you something nice if you know the answer.

Before and After

Sometimes I look at a painting or drawing when it's finished, and just don't feel it. When that happens I have to make some changes. Sometimes is works out, and other times it does not. I liked how this one turned out though.



The face, hands, jeans, guitar, and the cloudy sky were all done with color pencil. The rest was painted with acrylic paint on a thick 18x24 sheet of thick watercolor paper.

Bye Bye

I painted this last year. There was no idea or plan set out ahead of time with this one. The face and the hands were done separately with color pencil on a piece of bristol paper. Then they were later glued onto the canvas. The canvas was about 30"x40", which I built.

Sometimes I really liked it, other times I couldn't really stand it. A few months ago, I got really lazy and didn't have time to build a new canvas. Buying one would have been too expensive, so I painted over this.

I regret painting over it now. Mostly I regret not finishing it. The whole thing came together in two days. I don't finish a lot of stuff. Mostly because I simple lose interest. But I miss this one.
