Yes, hello. Sorry I haven't been on that much and only posting those random pics of boredom.... So how is everyone? Xmas is only round the corner now yipee!

I'm running out of ideas for xmas presents. It's hard when you get older! But for my Uncle and Auntie I have decided to paint a picture. It's a cute little giraffe sticking its head above the night time clouds.

I'm using acrylics (!!) - thats right an actual painting - but i'm not very good. I was positive when i put the first layer of paint down; i mixed a nice blue and purple for the sky and it looks great especially if you move it and it glints with the blue... and the base colour for the giraffe is fine too, except for the lighter coloured bit of the neck....

The first lot i put down was a mix of the orange ocre and white... and it started to go very pink!! Would anybody know why it goes pink? i've been putting the layers on over and over and it's starting to go now but... is there something I'm doing wrong??

Well anywho... i hope the rest doesnt go pink...

toodles for now!
