Just started a new artwork…

Hi guys I have just started creating a new artwork…  I must admit I havnt been creating any larger artworks for a while.. as I have been taking a break  and just creating some littlees for trademe… but I have been getting itchy feet to paint a larger landscape…

I have been wanting to create this particular artwork for a while now… and for some reason now just seems to be the right time…

This work will be a mixture of acrylic and my signature 2d texture mixed media,  since this has been at the back of my mind it is finally nice to get started on it!  So finally this afternoon I put brush to canvas and started it… I will take some photos in the morning to share with you !

Talk soon :)
