Nuclear Lawnmower

may 7 - EDIT: I changed the photo of the painting to one that I think is much more colour-accurate.
It took me about 2 million shots on my camera to get something decent.


Hello blog friends,
Here's a painting i've been meaning to share with all of you:




Nuclear Lawnmower
Acrylic on canvas
12" x 12"






I haven't used acrylic in a long time so this was pretty rough to do at first.
(Im not too good with photographing paintings but i think the colours are decently accurate).

Also,
I call it nuclear lawnmower for the simple fact that I feel if my painting teacher, Tim, saw this he would say "The sky looks very nuclear" or something to that effect.



Enjoy!
(p.s. if you are good at photographing acrylic and/or oil paintings... let's be friends).

When I worked at a golf course, I ran over a boy I liked with a lawnmower. The blades weren't on, but damn it was embarrassing.

That is what your painting reminds me of.
