That blew my mind!
Kinny, I love it when you let us into that white-headded noogin of yours. To see the thought process and all the paintings & sketches you do to prepare for a piece. It promises to be a good one. Love the Art Swap piece too, beautiful.

glad i could blow some minds on here! It's such a charge to be able to share all aspects of HOW a painting gets created....when i was a lil wee fellow,i remember being at the Art institute of Chicago and standing before "st. George and the Dragon" and wondering HOW THE HECK such a beautiful image was created.... well....this is my way of providing some of those answers thru the eyes of an artist from OUR time....
Loving your Mosaic for the Swap! I think there's gonna be some great pieces created by the time the deadline is up!
Miss you buddy! :)
