Blobs before my eyes for WOYWW

I've been working on my boat painting

this week and boy is it 

doing my head in.

One minute I hate it then an idea hits

and I like it again, then back to hating it

and so on. 

Right now it's driving me nuts.

I didn't like the top of the painting and came up 

with the idea to turn it into a revetment wall,

as if the boat is adrift in a canal.

It's going to be adrift cos I'm too lazy to

put a rope in.

My desk is small this week,

Just the painting on a movey roundy desk and my ikea

movey roundy thing. 

Why should I move when the painting can.

I have three bags of goop in varying shades of grey

(that is 3 shades, not to be confused with 50 shades).

I wanted to do the wall in bright orange and yellow

but my teacher (and I hate it when she's right) 

insisted on the greys. 

Now it's a matter of playing like I'm icing a cake,

for what seems like an eternity, 

until I reach the other side and a bit wider 

than it is at present.

I can feel some serious back and eye aches coming on.

Before

After

I also lowered the boat in the water

(argh, it's sinking... I wish)

 and added more goop to the water but

there's still more goop to add.

This darn painting will be six feet thick by the time 

I'm finished with it. 

Lastly I roughed in my parrots head and feet.

 

I like to stop once I get to here and

then I can keep looking at it to see if there

are any adjustments needed before I paint it properly.

Short and sweet this week,

cos I've got a date with some goop.

Now you've seen mine

why not hop over to 

Julia's Stamping Ground

and see what's on the other desks

around the world this Wednesday.
