Finished this pastel painting today

[LiberalLoner]

31. Not yet, but I'm cool with anyone downloading my images and printing off a print,

A lot of printers now let you make really nice prints from digital photos. I’m not picky, as long as someone isn’t trying to sell my work to others, I am happy to let people use my image for personal use, prints, screen savers, etc.

If you feel okay sending me an address, yours or the friend, I will send the original for free. I’d feel really good about doing that random act of kindness. Our world needs more acts like that I think.

It’s small, it’s only 8x10. I’m kind of cheap when it comes to buying paper. I keep telling myself I need to buy some bigger paper and then my paintings would look better, but it’s hard to get out of the habit of not wanting to spend much.

But if you framed it (pastels have to be framed behind glass to prevent smudging as they never “dry” in a sense) you could make it seem bigger. I usually buy an 11x14 frame with an 8x10 mat from Amazon. They don’t cost too much if you don’t get a really super fancy frame.
