Inspiration

Annalyn stars in this glimpse of her future, ABA-approved self, presenting a battle ax as one more piece of evidence in her crusade to better familiarize vikings with American justice!

So about a year and half ago, my friend Annalyn asked me to paint her a picture to help "inspire" her in her academic pursuits at law school.  I started one painting, but it wasn't really turning out. So I just kind of let it slide--working on it only once every couple of months. After a year of dithering, I deciding that I just needed to scrap my first direction and start with something fresh. That was about a month ago. A cropped version of my first attempt is available in the archives (Nov 2009).
