Hi again! It has been awhile...
I've been silently hovering in the background at PPF though life has been so busy lately I have rarely had time to paint, or post...
During the summer I started a painting for a friend. It was supposed to be the "smear and circle" style I have been playing around with. She likes giraffes so that was the subject. It looked terrible. I hated it (didn't even take photos of it before...) I put it away but kept thinking how could I fix it and make it fun? Then I had the idea that maybe the giraffe could be a Christmas giraffe and I could paint his spots red and green... and it all started to come together.
His expression is kind of funny. One friend thinks he is planning to take over the world. I think he is eyeing the mistletoe and planning to eat it thus stealing all the Christmas kisses. Mischievous giraffe!

I am happy to say that my friend liked him, and I greatly appreciated the incentive to get painting again.
If I am not back posting again before Christmas (very likely), I hope all my PPF friends have a fabulous holiday season and all the best for a happy, healthy and creative 2016!
