Did you know I could paint?

Heh. Rather a pretentious subject line, I know, but I'm not claiming to be a *good* painter, even though I still hold out hope that one day I'll go to art college! Anyway, what with all this talk of the comics and the artwork etc, I remembered that I never shared these pictures (since I vaguely recall the recipients okay-ing me putting them in my LJ).

Long, long ago I did a watercolour for poshcat of trees next to a lake.



And then I painted a picture of this icon (from AHITW) for buttersideup which took me mumble mumble forever to finish.




Have to run, but I have to say that the new and improved image uploading with a direct link to my photobucket account is *great*! Sometimes LJ really does come up with good ideas!

(This post brought to you by way of my delight with these three photo posts by earth_vexer that highlighted what's missing from the comics and makes me want to pull out my (now very dusty) palette again!)

ETA: Apparently e_v's posts are flocked! Sorry, never noticed!

I totally think you could claim to be a good painter! Of course, I'm impressed by anyone who can paint anything. Still, I really do like the paintings, particularly the icon one.

Thank you! I think I have *talent*... I just need to practise a lot more! (And I totally would if I had more time!)
