I made an underwater piece, a boy dreaming of what might be ahead (although riding on the back of a sea horse wearing a fish hat probably wont make my top 10 resolutions, fun as it may sound lol).
And in true 'Jo' form, I can't help but show a closer version before I decided to add the new year sign (sorry), the next photo is a bit crisper and shows the colours of the sprayed background a little better I thought? Well, kind of ...ish
May I take this opportunity to wish you all a very happy and healthy 2009. Thankyou for visiting my blog and leaving such encouraging comments over the past year.
ok, jo, if you'd just like to lie down on the couch and explain what your thinking was behind this piece.
