2nd post for 1/20/20, well actually it is 1:14 am on 1/21/20.   Here are a couple of other pieces I completed today.  The first one has elements traced from an old storybook illustration.   I believe I have it copied somewhere, but can't find the original yet today.   The girl, butterflies, and mushrooms are from the original.  The path, cave entrance, and color is all my doing.  I used metallic paint in this one, and I really don't like the results, but it is something I have so I try it out from time to time.

The next painting is just a copy of a portrait from a photographer on Instagram.   I am practicing shadows here.  The sun and coloring was different in the original photograph, obviously.

I've worked on a few other things but these are the only ones I have scanned in.    I hope you enjoy them.  I like to think that unconsciously they relate to my life.    I hope that in the first one, she is about to give up but is soon to find out that a wonderful magical world is just a short walk away.     For the second piece, I don't really have a story.  She seems to be running in the wind and shielding her face from the light.   She is looking at someone staring at her. I guess it just shows fast movement?  I hope.
