It is a nasty weather day to shoot, but this is very close other than the glare. Man, I am loving this.....
I took an oil painting class a few years ago because I had such trepidation about the medium, so I thought jumping right in would help. It was a typical beginner class with still life set ups weekly. One set up was a coffee cup on a fancy cloth and by the end on the painting I had added a handful of my own imaginings. My instructor looked casually over my shoulder and said "You are lying there" because I wasn't copying the reality of the still life.
I really love to "lie" in my paintings. Much more fun. And I am really lying in this one.

How unusual for an art teacher to be so restrictive. Well maybe not. I don't think you 'lying' I think you're elaborating on the truth!
Wow, this is so interesting. Love it!
Wow, this is very interesting Tracey, so let me get this right, this is a vision from your dreams? You have such a great imagination and vision to be able to work like this. Im very curious to see what it develops into. Who knows you could develop a series of 'Traceys' creatures'...
oh. my. Holy . wow.
This is truly amazing, Tracey. my speech centers have shut down.
keep lying. you are onto something that looks like a breakthrough painting to me.
This is gorgeous and interesting, Tracey! I'm glad you didn't let the instructor get you down. You have a unique style and vision it would be a shame to have squelched!
Tracey!
You are an AMAZING liar! *(~_^)
