'Sunset' - The huge painting complete!

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes.
Art is knowing which ones to keep.

What an amazing experience I had when Cheryl and Paul asked me to paint a huge painting for their new house! The painting had to be 1200cm by 900cm to cover a part of the wall where the phone cables and things were. The other requirements were for it to keep with the colour theme of the lounge room already with other red and orange colours.

Because, I didn't really know what to do, I haven't really had any real art lessons or anything I just decided to do something abstract and just allowing my knowledge of colours and what works well together take the limelight.  Here are some photos below showing the progress of the painting:

The background is black, but i ran out of black paint so i mixed a navy into it.

Created the template for the circles.

Filled in the circles white so that the colours would look brighter.

The very start of the colours.

Didn't wash my brushes the whole time!

The painting takes up half of my room!

Nearly finished!

Finished painting in the garage of Paul and Cheryl's house.
