Lesson 14 .... just a few, few, more to go....

Dennis, you are preparing far more lessons than I can study in my life!  :1hug:
And then I want to do pastel and my husband gave me oil paint, and I never get to doing any of the challenges!!!
No chance to get bored, that is for sure!  :clap:

oh, on this one I totally messed up the background with big dark blobs and stripes.  :injured: Since I was too much in a hurry to finish it (before a week of traveling) to start over again, I dabbed with a moist paper towel. A bit of rescue effort which did not turn out that badly ... or at least better than it was!

May you find beauty & passion in your life,

AiKe

Ai Ke, there is absolutely nothing wrong with your background. Photographers take this out-of-focus  method to make the subject stand out from the normally distracting background. Well done. Keep it up :clap: :clap: :clap:

Kris,

Really like the bird (beautiful blue) and the dabbled background.
