Nothing like a last minute posting. :) After five hours of nonstop brushwork Monday night, I finally put this baby (and myself) to bed. I painted it on an 8"x10" mounted panel ( Hobby Lobby/Great surface/Highly recommended) and decided to give it an aged cover look. A few surface scars and a final yellowy wash did the trick and gave it the slightly faded look I was after. Then I thought it would be cool if it looked like a real book, so I painted the sides accordingly. It should look pretty nifty hanging on the wall or sitting on a table. Lots of seriously amazing stuff in this here swap. Talent abounds! I've got my eye on several and am keeping my fingers crossed. Here's the art:
