JULY CONTEST: WHEN SUMMER VACATION GOES WRONG.
-
Here's mine!
-
I decided to go with the worst thing that could happen during summer vacation according to my daughter who loves gymnastics...breaking a leg and not being able to go and enjoy playing outside! This is a character I designed for my portfolio so I thought I would use her as the unfortunate individual for this piece.
Good luck to everyone taking part this month! Taking part in this challenge helped me push through the extreme 'ugly' stage on this painting...the thought of posting it a couple of days ago makes me shudder :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:
Nothing like a deadline to make you work harder!
Now i'm off for a nice cup of tea! 
-
Here is my idea. Nothing says vacation gone wrong than finding out your travel brochure was a little misleading...
-
-
Can't even have a relaxing day building sandcastles anymore!
-

I am trying to attach my contest entry that I lovingly painted for 6 hours but the image does not seem to load
Does the image have to be already hosted on internet in order to be linked via "image url" button, or there is a way to upload it directly from phone / tablet? -
@Akimi-Inari No worries.
If you're on a phone, try scrolling the bar of icons to the left when you're writing your post. Hopefully you'll see the two icons with upward pointing arrows that allow you to upload from your device. Sometimes these other icons go unnoticed because it's not obvious that the bar can be shifted side to side. If this doesn't work, surely someone else will pipe up with another suggestion. -
Great prompt this month. I spent a lot of time on this one. Probably too much time but here is my entry! Thanks to those who provided feedback.

@Adriana-Ancel The background is beautiful! What medium did you use? Or is this digital? I like the angry looking fish too! :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_closed_eyes:

@Branden-Brushett The grainy texture you've used is lovely!
