Description It's been so long since I do anything, and the other day I saw this scene in my backyard so I knew I had to draw it. [I also saw two birds fighting (an attempted rape it seems) but it wasn't as inspiring]. And the strike on school is taking forever (we probably lost the semester) so why not.

I don't really like the background, as it was mainly an experiment. I tested some shapes and patterns on a separate scrap of paper with watercolours, only to realise that the only way this would look somewhat realistic would be if I used acrylics. So i did. It was fun, nevertheless! Oh and pardon the unoriginal title.

p.s. don't ask me what those white spots are, for I haven't a clue, myself.

Thanks a lot John! I was playing by ear, but the red-green combo turned out pretty cool luckily!

Se ve interesante, parece arte futurista. Me explico, el futurismo es un movimiento de la plastica que sugiere movimiento. Tambien buen trabajo con el color.

Sí, me di cuenta; no sé por qué se me ocurrió hacerlo así.
Una vez compararon un garabato mio con los trabajos de Kandinsky, lo cual es gracioso porque ni siquiera lo conocía en aquel entonces.

Guao! como conoces de tantos artistas si no estudias como tal arte? Los estudias por tu cuenta??

En la uni tuve un profesor que nos mostró muchos, y de ahí seguí buscando otros por mi cuenta.

White spots look to me as precious imitation of a good lens' bokeh.

Nice work.

Pero no lo vi en tu perfil, así que, técnicamente, usted me copió a mi.

Gracias!
