So I decided I'm going to paint a Red Sox Platter. Not just any ol' doodle, oh no, I have to go big. I'm going to transfer one of my own photos from Fenway Park onto a platter. I know this is going to take A LOT of time but I need a challenge. I've been slacking in the art department. I've taken some really great photos, no I'm not bragging on myself but I have some good ones alright, get off my case, sheesh. I've sat on them long enough and this is getting me ready for 2 upcoming shows in town... I'll get to those later though.
Last weekend the girl came into town and I took her to Color Me Mine, she had never been and her coloring side was wanting to come out. I bought her this Veggie Tales Coin Bank to paint. Now anyone who has done this, knows how detailed these projects can be. Being her first time out, I thought this one would be a pretty challenging one for her but she took it like she takes most everything else in life, with a smile and a lot of determination. 3 trips to CMM, a total of 10.5 hours but she got it done and it looks damn adorable. She went pretty damn detailed for her first run and I couldn't be more proud. One of the nights while I was sitting there, I was starring at these huge platters they had and I thought how cool it would be to transfer one of my photos on to one. Immediately the one on the brick wall came to mind. So I bought a platter. Tonight I went to Michaels to get some tracing paper to sketch it on and then I will copy it over to the platter. I'm suppose to go to CMM again on Saturday night, so I'm hoping I'll be able to start painting it then.
So here is my progress so far:

Now off to bed before the queen has my head!
