This thing had been sitting around in my living room, half finished for about nine months:

Mindanao palayan - almost ready for planting rice

I finally got around to finishing it a few days ago.

'Feels good to be back in the swing...

I was almost starting to get really cheesed-off with the thing, as I frantically tried to get it finished the other day. But I managed to resist the temptation of over-doing it and ending-up with a complete mess.

It's only a bit of crappy amateur art. And having taken 9 months over the thing, it is hard to say that I really enjoyed doing it. (Well, I always enjoy the actual time spent working on a painting but I couldn't get in the mood for art for months on end when I was supposed to be working on this one.) But, I have to say, I am pretty well satisfied with this painting now that it is done... I quite like the richness of the colors - especially the greens...

And the half-finished work almost became a fixture in my living room for such a long time; I might even frame this and put it up on my wall!
