A Notion of Flight

Aaaugh... title failure. See, I'm terrible with words. But I must give them up, it seems, if I am to continue painting. How dreadful...

Anywho, to the point. A painting for the ever-fantastic *Himmapaan, who is an amazing illustrator and a wonderful person, and an inspiration to many. If for whatever reason you have not heard of him, well... I must say, however, that he is very busy at the moment, so he won't likely be able to reply to anyone for quite some time. I figured he might enjoy having this, as he gave such a glowing review to my last Iberian portrait... I hope this painting may suffice as a thanks for all of his support since the first few weeks that I came here.

I'm happy to say that he received it a few days ago, and that it arrived safe and sound, and that he enjoys it, too. I have my share of worries regarding the post, especially when sending things overseas.

This painting is acrylics on a 8x10 textured masonite board (Pastelbord). Oddly enough, my back started acting weird partways through this... I forgot to get up and move around, it would seem. Ah, well. It was worth it.

Ah, I'd better stop babbling... lord knows you've all heard far too much from me in the past few days.

As this is a gift, I'll not be offering this as a print. I hope you can understand.

And of course, I'll take your comments, questions, critiques, etc. Thanks all for your continued interest!
