First Finished Piece of 2018 (or, Holy Crap I Painted!)

The itch to paint had been there for a while, but I kept ignoring it. I was too lazy, didn't want to make a mess. Finally, on New Year's Eve, I donned my apron and pulled out the acrylics.

Meet Gustave, my first finished piece of 2018 and first finished painting in a while - a long while:

It felt good to paint again. Really good.

Happy 2018!
