Finito

Finally done right in time for class tomorrow! I might have fiddled with it a little longer than I should've. I think knowing I was bringing it to show tomorrow as the final product made me keep coming back to it. It ended a little more realistic, and less painterly than I would've liked. Funny story about it though, as I was working on the background, my oldest daughter came over and looked at the photograph and asked if I was going to paint the dead flower too. I hadn't even noticed one, but there it was on the right totally out of focus. I'd only been staring at the photo for weeks! Ha! I didn't plan on adding it, but when I got there I couldn't help it. It was actually an interesting little thing and plus I wanted to show her I had.

And here's my younger daughter's masterpiece from when I helped out at her preschool. Look at all those adorable feet! That caterpillar is really going somewhere. Eric Carle would be impressed, don't you think? I just wish I'd had larger googly eyes. Though they were a hit.
