amberdreamsThis story is rather lovely, and really deserved something a bit better, but this was what happened instead.

Title: Shark Fin Blues
Summary: Dean beside him still has leaves in his hair, and seven weeks to live.

This was a bit of a disaster - I had this really strong image in my head of what I wanted to do, but then lots of things conspired against me... my watercolour skills are not up to the challenge but I used watercolour pencils anyway, because I didn't take my watercolour tin away with me, then I used card to paint on instead of proper watercolour paper, then my laptop hard disk died and I didn't have access to Photoshop to salvage it... ha ha ha! So anyway, this has now been somewhat photoshopped thanks to a month's free trial, hence I could add the pretty leaves (a free clipart download), and some colour enhancement and shading has gone on. And test, of course.
Next time I do some art remind me NOT to choose profiles - again. You'd think I'd have got the hang of them by now
This is the original traditional piece, scanned and untrimmed.The edges are messy because I knew I would be getting rid of them. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!
