I have the painting bug again, I guess. I consider myself to be a drawer (not the kind that you open and close and put stuff in, but the kind that scribbles with a pencil), not a painter, but sometimes painting can be lots of fun. And maybe it's just lack of confidence in painting that makes me think I'm only a drawer (although it could be laziness as it's much more work to drag out paints than to grab pencils). The only way to get that confidence is to keep on trying. So, I am trying again. I do have an itch to try oils. I have a small set and I think they may be a bit easier than acrylics as they don't dry so fast and you can blend colors together, but they're also more complicated because you need to add stuff to the paints and they take forever to dry. I would have to wait days to scan an oil painting, not 5 minutes like I do with acrylics. Anyway, here is my favorite subject again. I wanted to do another sitting rhino as I don't seem to see sitting rhinos all that often and I think they look super cute (like totally) that way. The smile is all my own doing as my subject in the photo looked a bit cranky. Should I make you guess what kind he is again?

Ooh, I love the colors in this painting....and the smile is very cute.
Please do try oils...I don't care how long they take to dry....I would love to see them...just make sure the cats don't get at them before they dry. ;-)
It was fun to see you yesterday...looking forward to getting together sometime to see your Aunt's gallery.
White rhino?
I'll take a rhino in oil, acrylic or pencil as long as it is created by Anniepete : )
Hope you are staying cool and do you know what happened to fall? Summer seems to have taken over. I am most upset. I want fall. I want fall. I want fall.
Like it is totally time for another rhino picture : )
