Kevin’s Painting Blog

Since there is an upcoming contest, I thought I would enter “The Trainer” but they told me it was too small - the contest is for sizes F10 or larger and “The Trainer is only an F8. What a ridiculous rule, but whatever. With 2 weeks before the entry deadline, I decided to paint something quick and size F15 or larger, which I am sure will still be considered “on the small side.” This town I live in is small and not exactly cosmopolitan, but what can you do?

This is a girl I met in college, we were both in the same Japanese class. She also took photography and gave me a black and white image that I happened to see and like. I immediately painted it, gave her the painting, and stored the image away, only to recently  pull it out again. This took me three sessions, it went rather quick. I think I spent about 8 hours on it total. I can think of a few things I could fix that are not right about it, but I am out of time.
