And Just So Far Away.
I'm still capable of posting things that aren't paintings, I promise! I think I'll probably finish reading Gone Girl today, so I'm going to write that up for THE BOOKENING. But right now I'm afraid you're getting another painting. This one's a man-made landscape, for a change, from a photograph I took last June.
For the most part I'm happy with how this came out, particularly as I was worried about my ability to paint man-made things (nature tends to be a bit more forgiving; put a branch in the wrong place on a tree and it still looks like a tree), but it bugs me slightly that the... the metal shark-tooth flag things (not sure what purpose those serve; maybe lines ran between them at some point, but they don't seem to now) are so irregular in length.
(It's also possible I oversimplified the scene slightly. I notice I've created a train station with exactly one lamppost on it.)
