May 31st Time for a Kip

The very last May Project Painting. I turned Anna Karina's seductive look into a sleepy one...



Some paintings in this project will not be as great as others but that was the meaning of the May Project - to be less precious about my work and figure out what I really love doing. Its been a lot of fun, & thanks for all comments and followers.

Watercolour on paper 42x59 cm

May 30th A Toast With My Parents..

Another quick one I'm afraid, after spending the day on several buses and desperately in need of some sleep. This painting is based on another photograph from the air hostesses album. Tomorrow I promise to paint something beautiful!
