What a gorgeous little painting, the floor and ceiling look perfect, they really give the impression of being inside a tree :) In answer to your question, I find it very hard to just let go and paint, although when I do (as I've touched on in my latest blog post) I find I love the results, and the process! xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00610821730853355180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876129775144082.post-45089834714118109532017-04-02T16:17:06.654-05:002017-04-02T16:17:06.654-05:00Congratulations on finishing this lovely illustrat...Congratulations on finishing this lovely illustration ~ set for a wonderful story ~ thanks<br /><br />Wishing you a Happy Week ahead ~ ^_^carol l mckennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06151914466378663660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876129775144082.post-59189759362299967662017-04-02T16:08:14.584-05:002017-04-02T16:08:14.584-05:00Oh how charming this is!

I do attempt it, but am rarely satisfied with the result. That is why I end up doing digital art because I, at least, start out with something I can be happy with. Art is in my blood ... my mother, sister and even my father seemed to have the talent, but I have never been able to make it work for me :) You asked ... I'm just answering honestly.<br /><br />Andrea @ From The SolAndrea @ From The Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00657271089899579261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876129775144082.post-31817867349710638102017-04-02T12:19:11.204-05:002017-04-02T12:19:11.204-05:00So true about letting your heart go where it wants...So true about letting your heart go where it wants when doing art.
