Painting with......

As I approached the counter one day at my local art shop, I felt hesitant at my purchase. In my usual way I had to express this. I'm hesitant with most things, lack of confidence really impairs rational judgement sometimes! I wanted to create something bold and striking, but it's all too easy to pick up a pencil and become consumed with detail. Don't get me wrong, I love my pencils, I am a pencil geek and my collection is ever growing. There is always a grade or colour that I wouldn't mind adding to my collection!
Paint holds a different appeal, yes I can be as careful and precise as I want, but I can also be a little reckless and fluid. The shop assistant advised me that I should have a few drinks before I started painting!

So two sheets to the wind and a belly full of Jim Beam here is a very colourful interpretation of Dave Grohl's guitar. It may not be precise in perspective, or have minute detail, but it has broken down a few barriers in just slapping on the paint and seeing what happens!
