Painting Layers!Belle – What’s your favorite thing to paint? Have you ever thought about painting something special for Nick? Maybe something he can take with him at the end of his sabbatical to remember you by? ;)

I like to paint landscapes mostly, both of the places I’ve been and of the places that I once wanted to visit. Well, I say that’s what I like to paint, I have no idea whether the image in my mind translates to the canvas. It could be an unrecognizable blob of mixed paint.

Nick has been very kind, and very complimentary, but I don’t know. He probably wouldn’t want one of my paintings anyway. Don’t tell him, but … I don’t usually paint people but after he let me map his face, I tried to paint him. I could never, ever show him, I wouldn’t want him to be offended.
