Can't wait to be done!


I am out of Linseed oil at the moment, only a trickle leftover from last painting.  So NOW I will blog.
This has been one very LONG project for me.  It's not perfect, but I am capturing the essence of the place, just have trouble doing the stairs. Still, LOOK at it especially down here at the wall with the spooky images if you can see them.
It's better in person up close but there on this wall down here is something like a demonic skull and on the left it looks skull like too.  I am trying to paint the spiritual feeling of the place and though I was NOT planning out the skull and especially the eye over the cross it just came out that way and when I noticed it I just went with it.
My paintings often paint themselves. 




It's still an amazing piece of work, But I am ready for a new project.  This one still needs to be finished.
Proveglia will be next.  I would LOVE to know how Zack Bagins and the GAC would react to this.
When I do my art I really want a WOW from someone.  If I just get 'hmm nice painting'  or 'that's good' well obviously I haven't made it yet.
I still look at old and new art and see what WOWs me.  
I still have a little bit to go and I have done some work since the last photo was taken but I need fresh batteries as well as linseed oil.
I am hoping to sell this thing on my Etsy shop.
I think it would be really cool if  Zak Bagins bought it.  
A lovely dream.
