Something old, something new
something borrowed, something blue
We didn't have to incorporate every part of it into the painting but I thought it would be more interesting to try. After some thinking I came up with this - the old pyramids painted to look new with a borrowed business cat (aka Sir Meowsalot) and a blue sky, and some blue on the sphinx as well. I created this with Painter and printed it and gave it to my son who loves Roblox and YouTuber Denis Daily. I kept it pretty simple because digital paintings always take so long for me, and I also moved a pyramid to make it fit my vision.
In July I took part in two challenges. An acrylic challenge was to paint a bucolic landscape with our non-dominant hand. It wasn't too bad but I wouldn't want to do that again. I also recorded as I painted:

The fantasy/scifi challenge theme was magic. While thinking about it and looking through my reference photos, I thought weddings can be magical, especially when the reception is decorated in a Gothic/Victorian style. I used a photo I took of the head table as a reference and painted this in acrylic on a 14x11" canvas.

love the pictures..
I continue to be amazed by your talent!!! How many hours did it take to do the wedding one?!
Thank you Noreen and Roberta.
I didn't really keep track of my time but I think the wedding painting took around 8 hours to paint, and an hour or two to make an outline in the beginning.
