I took what I thought was a pretty good photo of my painting, and adjusted the brightness as high as the image quality would tolerate, and was happy with it (the bottom one). Then I got a scanner (the top one). I am going to leave both in the post so I can reflect on how big of a difference the scanner makes. I don't quite believe I was happy with the bottom one now that I see the top one next to it.

Honoured to be included in the gallery at Autistic Eye, along with some very cool other autistic artists!!!

I guess I will send these two to the queer arts festival and see if I get in!

UPDATE: No success with that sadly - they only accepted 70 artists out of 300 that sent work, so it was a tough one.

Here's the other painting I framed (again, on Etsy UK). This one is bigger. I'm remembering what I loved so much about painting with oils. Oils are more visceral, somehow - both the process and the result. It's requiring me to be patient. It feels like more of a conversation with the medium, rather than expecting the medium to serve a preconception.
