One of my favorite pictures from the many temples in around Angkor Wat, Camboria. Taken a little after dawn at Ta Prohm Temple (AKA the Tomb Raider Temple).

Scotland Sheepies–first oil painting in a year!

Scotland Sheepies--first oil painting in a year!

Sooooo….. My novel is in the middle of being reviewed by my writer’s group (Singapore Writer’s Group, amazing people) and an editor in Belfast, which means I shouldn’t touch it! Gahhh what do I do with my time? Guess I’ll get back into oil painting. For funsies, I’ve included my most recent painting, showing my progress layer by layer; it’s based on one of the many, many pictures of sheep I took while on the Isle of Mull, Scotland near the ruins of Shiaba. Acrylic background and oil paint.

Grazing sheep on the Isle of Mull, off the the west coast of Scotland near the ruins of a town that people were forced from to make room for grazing sheep.

There and Back Again... Samwise Gamgee's Door

One of my favorite pics from my visit to official Hobbiton in Matamata, New Zealand. Yes, they really did built the entirety of Hobbiton in some guy’s sheep pasture haha. Unfortunately, there’s nothing actually behind the hobbit hole doors so you can’t live there. It was really beautiful though, one of my favorite stops while in NZ.
