Great Grand Muse

Being Different

This is something I started before I had learned about anatomy, or oil painting. I picked this big canvas when I had never done anything like that before and I made lots of mistakes but boy did I have fun! I have this teeny tiny picture of my great grandfather, J.N.Sprague. It's the only one I have and he lived in England painted  watercolour paintings  in the early part of the 20th century. The few stories I was told about him were all about how much he was loved by his grandchildren. I have one of his paintings, very old and faded but it inspires me to  'keep it in the family' for the next generation. I've learned a lot since but can't bring myself to finish this or start another one...just yet.

The second little painting is about being 'different'. The most colourful ones always are.
