We have had better days.
Here is a cactus we found with the zebras. Happy Cactus Monday!
Actually I am glad I encountered the cactus, because I really wanted to post something for today but artwork wasn't happening. Why not? Well, I joined in the Masters In Oil project over in the oil painting forum at Wet Canvas. As a result, I've been spending a lot of quality time with Princess Charlotte. All I want to do is paint, and I love feeling like that. This is not yet finished but I hope to have it done this week. 12 x 16 oil on canvas after Franz Winterhalter.
I wish I wasn't so tired tonight, otherwise I'd continue painting. Maybe tomorrow.
Happy Cactus Monday. You should follow your muse. It is turning into a beautiful painting.
