After I took these pictures I could see that I needed to
fix the shading in some areas.
The before shot! Just a regular old piece of wood.

Goodbye Fox
Only three more days of school left, and twelve more days until I graduate. Yesterday the mail brought some great news, I have received a bright futures scholarship to pay for my tuition as well as a scholarship from a church I play my flute at which will cover the expenses of my books. I am very excited to start this new part of my life on the right foot but at the same time very sad to see all my friends leave; especially my best friend who I have known since kindergarten. My best friend Emily and I have always been lucky and gone to the same schools, been in the same classes, and done every sport and played our flutes together, but she decided on Brigham Young University for her college and I picked the University of Central Florida. Since she is moving so far away I wanted to make her something nice to remember our good times, but I just couldn't decide what to make. While I was out shopping around I found this beautiful piece of wood that I thought would make a wonderful canvas to paint on! Even though I feel much more comfortable working with 3D things I decided it was time to once again cringe and take out the brushes. Hope you enjoy!

ReplyDeleteThe Fox looks absolutely real and almost 3D:)
Congrats on the scholarships, Heidi! I wish you all the best on this next journey. The painting for Emily is beautiful and I am sure she will be honored to think you took out the paint brushes for her - a true best friend!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful, thoughtful gift. I'm sure Emily will love it!
ReplyDeleteYour fox is beautifully painted. We get foxes coming into our garden every night. One night I was woken up by my dogs' squeeky toy. I looked out of the window and a fox was playing with the dogs' squeeky toys on the patio. It was playing just like a puppy! It was jumping onto the toy and then picking it up in its mouth and strutting around squeeking it.
Wow,a wonderful Fox.Bin wirklich begeistert Du kannst super toll malen.
