here in the smallest bones: the feet and the inner ear
i think maybe this one is done. if i were to do anything more it would be to shadow. (the horse. not the shadow-s...) but i don't think i will. no. i think i should leave it as it is rather than do too much. which is what i often do. i'm super pumped on this painting. it makes me glad. and i had a really good time painting it. which is grand. it's 55" x 50". by the way. so you know. and you can imagine it in your brain.

upcoming
holy cow check it out!

i have given myself the challenge of entering the BP Portrait award every year that i am in this europe-place. it is a unique award not only because it deals exclusively with portraiture and is open to people from any and all countries, but because it is judged entirely from real-life-in-the-flesh-(paint)-works. that means no photos of work. no digital submission. you have to send the real thing. and last year, apparently, they had just over 1,700 applicants. jeeeez! can you imagine how much work it would be just coordinating that many paintings, let alone judging them down to a final shortlist of 60?
oooooof.
so. i have until the 15th of february to FINISH the painting of the two girls (which has finally been titled - 'of him that brought salvation down (Hannah & Emma Noyes)'). then, once registered, i will courier same painting to London. or hand deliver it to a place near Glasgow... i haven't decided which yet.
and THEN. if (IF) i get shortlisted, i'll be kickin it in London for all kinds of dinners and press evenings in early june. it could happen... everyone cross your fingers and hold your breath, and other helpful things.
