In between layouting some publications, I was able to squeeze in painting this one. Not particularly happy about it though. One of these days, I'm gonna have to attempt to redo something like this. In the meantime, please feel free to criticize...
Okay so I tried to squeeze in another painting for the week but it turned out to be a disaster (so I'm not posting it). It's been a very busy week (work-wise) so I wasn't able to devote any time to painting -- good on one hand, bad on the other. Looks like I really have to squeeze more creative juices come February...
I've got two more subjects which I'm all fired-up to put on paper. Hopefully, I can finish them within the week. If it turns out that I can't, guess I'll have to add the quota to my February posts.
I'm now looking out for the next inspiration to complete my January subjects...

Finished this one on the fifth of this month. When I started on it, I had no idea that 2010 was a tiger year. Seriously. I was browsing my old hard disk and I came across one of my photos of a tiger, which I took at the Tagaytay zoo several years ago. A few seconds of looking at it and I knew I just had to paint it.
Poster paint has always been my medium but I wanted to try out something new. Years ago, I attempted to paint with watercolor but found the medium very difficult to control. I was positive that doing it again would be a disaster. But then again, I thought, nobody has to see it if it turns out to be a mess. So I painted. Three hours later, I had my first offering for the year. It's far from perfect but it didn't turn out to be as bad as I thought. Hope I could finish another subject this coming week...
Please feel free to comment. I won't kill you. :D
