OK, I feel the need to give some sort of disclaimer before unveiling my product to you. I am by no means an artist (but I have played one on TV). My wife is the one that enjoys painting and occasionally ropes me into it. Which, by the way, if anyone is looking for an interesting night out, check for a Painting with a Twist in your area. You can bring in your favorite wine or beer and they guide you through a painting. It is a fun and unique time out, but I digress. My abilities are less than spectacular; however, when I read this task, I knew I had to give it a whirl.

So, without further adieu, I give you me painting the Professor and the Princess. I took a little bit of creative liberty in determining who was the princess ;)

Here is my work area prepared for the event and the picture I used for my inspiration.





I took a little time to sketch my victims into place first.



Oh hey there, hello.



And were off! Applying paint like Van Gogh but I think I will keep both my ears.



Everyone knows that one of the most crucial steps to painting is adding happy trees. Do they look happy enough?



Time to fast forward here. I know I should have taken some more progress pictures; however, I got so into painting this masterpiece that I forgot to call my photographer over.



Well after accumulating enough paint under my fingernails, this piece is ready for its close up. Please be gentle on me.


My favorite part is the tiara. It really fits the princess well. :D
