African Sunset COMPLETED

....and it only took a year! 

I did have a good excuse though 

with my Dad's illness taking a priority. 

Progress images are below,

Colours may vary due to the time of day and lighting.

In the beginning,

there was a mess

More progress

Yes, that is part of my car you see.

 I was painting the beginning stages in my garage. 

Back when I did actually have an area set up for my arts and crafts.

Big changes meant no more art space for me 

so now I set up the dining area in the house when I need to paint.

Time to get serious

A giraffe makes an appearance.
I sketched the tree and all the animals free-hand
and made up the layout as I went along.
I think that sketching free-hand in pen has helped me a great deal

Then an elephant and her baby complete the scene

with some reflections too.

Aaron was very happy to be able to finally hang it on his bedroom wall

I am so happy it's finally done too

Currently, I'm re-vamping an old painting for Mackenzie's nursery. 

Time is running out as she is due to make her big entrance next month.

I'm also crocheting like mad to get her bed blanket finished in time. 

That one may have to be a little late.

I'm off to add some more touches to the painting now.

I hope you are all enjoying a beautiful weekend!
