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'm completely flattered that my photos made you want to dust off your palette and do some painting. That's the wonderful thing about art. Just looking at it can be inspiring. So I hope you do! :)

Exactly. :) And I'm definitely planning on getting myself a bit more organised... (also Darcy would be *thrilled* if I did something not-fandom-y!)
