Little Facebook Game

Winner: ERIN SANDS

Erin Sands correctly identified the “swimming pig” after third pic was posted. Hey, persistance pays off; her first guess was a road runner.

So, the painting continues WITHOUT facebook distraction:

What a difference a little blue makes….

Please notice a little quirk of mine in this pic…. do you see a dark mark under the middle tree in the water?

I use my pinkie planted on the canvas to steady my painting hand, but SOMETIMES that pinkie strays into wet paint, so when I move around the canvas so does that pinkie paint! I review the painting at the end and attempt to correct the marks, but lots of my paintings still have some rogue pinkie dots in them!
