First This, Now That

I finished a painting last night. I'm calling it "First This, Now That." I am very pleased with it! Sometimes it takes me a while to "warm up" to a new piece but I'm pretty excited about this one. So, here it is.

A bit of a close up.

We'll see if others like it as much as me. I entered it into the "Unfettered" show at Visual Art Exchange. I had a piece accepted last year so maybe I'll be as fortunate this year. So I feel like I'm moving in the right direction and feel really great about it.
