We were challenged this month to doing something different that we hadn't done before. This turned out to be the hard part of the challenge. How was I to paint something in a different way or with different materials and still be able to convey what I the picture was about? It wasn't til I recieved an artful email that I realized there is something I haven't done before; so, I decided that I would try finger painting the picture. It was alot harder then I expect it to be and I don't think it turned out as well as I had in my head but that' okay. I painted it and that's more then enough for me.
I also decieded that this month I would record the process and share it all with you. Below is my video. Ignore the bad hair I was having. I didn't feel like rerecord the into for it.

Wow! I love your pages, and that you've decided to do process videos. It's fun to watch :)
I really love this spread! It makes me want to go to Alaska and see the Northern Lights! :)
Gasp! This painting is so beautiful! You can totally tell what it is -- as a matter of fact, the fingerpainting aspect seems also to capture your passion for the idea. The energy really comes through. These pages are gorgeous. I think you should fingerpaint some more! :)
Your painting really is lovely. Well done.cant see the vid at the moment, will check back.
you NAILED it Cody! What a great technique and the page turned out beautifully.
Wonderful work! I love the painting and your idea of traveling to Alaska sounds so amazing!! I hope you get to go one day. :)
yipee I can comment now!! :) so first of all, I love that you did a video of your process. It's so neat peeking into the actual making of the pages.
As for the actual pages, I'm in love with the idea of finger painting! I need to get my hands on some acrylic paint and try it myself. I haven't done it in years, probably since preschool haha!
I've been enchanted by northern lights since I was a kid, so I definitely understand your desire to see them. Such a beautiful natural wonder of the world ^^
