5 Days of Finishing - but first, this - these two photos of my paintings, above, were taken by their new owners. 'Blood Moon' and one of my daily paintings, the new owners had them framed. I am delighted to see how they turned out. I often wonder what happens to my paintings in their new homes.
'This is the Place' by F. E. Clark, 2015.
Finishing - on Friday I am heading away for a while. My competition will still run until the 16th of August, the winner will be announced late the week after - there is still time if you would like to enter - details here. I may take a break from posting online for a while after I return.
Before we strike out: there are paintings and stories to be finished, lists to be written and checked off, supplies to be bought.
This week I have been writing a bit more, buoyed up by a 3rd place win for my entry 'No Butterfly Wings' last week in Luminous Creatures Summer of Super Short Stories Competition. So far I have written 'Madam Doofay and the Six Sugar Candy Skulls' for Luminous Creatures, 'A Place Beyond Belief' for Flash Frenzy at The Angry Hourglass, an entry for the Janet Reid Literary Shark Contest, a draft of a Chris & Mike adventure for Brian Creek's competition and the beginnings of a story inspired by adventures from our weekend for a competition, Not bad :)
