someday we'll vacation here

europa. lovely, lovely europa. it's amazing. it has hidden secrets! the colors here are, if i am honest, a bit off. but I think it's a far superior (and better shaped) effort compared to jupiter. :)

p.s. in case you are wondering, here's what the REAL europa looks like!

ugh

we're going to chalk this one up to a learning experience. but learning is good. :) a HUGE part of the problem (which I think is funny, because jupiter itself is huge...what? i'm a nerd!) is my utter inability to draw a perfect circle, arc, or anything else remotely similar. i'm shape-drawing impaired. :p

I'm trying to get away from simply creating paintings based on photos and be a bit more creative. I really, really love this painting, because although it is very simple, I think the colors are beautiful and it seems to be very alive, unlike the painting of jupiter i'm working on! ;)
