Scripture in progress #2, acrilic on 12 x 12 gallery wrapped canvas, sheiladelgado.com

I managed to finish the small script letters. They were easier than I anticipated, and I am pleased as punch that some of my strokes were spot on perfect. Shazam!

The larger type styles turned out to be more difficult. More stokes involved, and more chances to goof. I think a light color on the type would look more fresh. But that would also have required a dark outline to make it pop. On 39 words, that seemed daunting!

There are a few areas where the letters and the background are close in value. I can remedy that when I fine-tune my mistakes.

What is better than a sweet treat while working? And of course it has to be GREEN! One of my favorites. A rare indulgence. Kiwi Gummy Candy by Kasugai. Sublime!

Have a fabulous Friday!

High five from the future. Crack me up Cindy. Reminds me of the Linda Hamilton line in Terminator. “Are telling me your from the future!?”

Thanks for making me laugh, and for the well wishes!

I looked at the painting first and couldn’t figure out what the saying was all about; then I read your text and realized that I hadn’t seen the light colored words – lol. Candy and painting look good together!
