I often start sketching around but don't finish the painting. I had a few unfinished bits in my XCF folder so I thought I would paste them into a new image and fill in the gaps. It was really fun to do because there were no rules or structures to follow.

Wow; really like the stream of conscience Erisian. Looks like the aliens contacted you alright.

Very interesting Erisian.

Quite a surreal image! I like all the different aspects and how they seem to go together even though there is not clear theme to tie them.

erisian: you've heard most of what i could say about this one already, so i'll just say how much i like it because i've seen it wor so many times now and i still discover things in it. i'll also say that i hope you'll play around and just have fun more in the future - you need it, it helps you develop your style and we get to see nice results like this. now i'm off to work, you're a horrible man who gets to sleep longer!

Nice one Erisian!

Thank you everybody.

AnMal - I'm a nice man who gets out of bed and makes you cups of tea in the mornings...

And if I may be so bold, I believe that's just how it should be! Right AnMal?

Wow Eris, you should have moved to Sweden a long time ago. Your art and style has done a 90% improvement.

Very nice Erisian.

moko: oh yes, that's exactly how it should be! *glares at sleeping fiance*
molly: don't think sweden can take the credit for that, but it's just as you say :-). a joy to be there and see it happen!
erisian: well, to be fair you do that sometimes on weekends if i sleep long enough...

Moko -

sallyanne - thank you

Molly - Something about Sweden makes me want to paint but sitting with AnMal while she is Gimping is also an inspiration. The rest is understanding more and more how simple painting should really be.

AnMal - we've run out of tea - I hope you like coffee!
