A painting of a dreamer girl..... It's not often that I paint these days and even rarer is it that I paint on canvas (as I have said before, perhaps, I don't think of paint as my medium).... however, from time to time I do like to challenge myself. For this canvas I gave myself the challenge to paint in just black and white, using a pencil drawing on a coat of white paint as my starting point. I like her. She seems happy in her black frock on white.... as if walking into a dream.....
Yesterday I took a day off from the sewing and drawing, and went into central London to visit the Wallace Collection I do like to visit. It is a treasure trove of a grand house. I like the grand rooms with many paintings, fine antiquities, miniatures, carvings, seventeenth century watches that just amaze.... I bought a few postcards and they are now on my screen (above), along with a few of my own drawings/ monoprints. I like to keep a changing display of inspiration.....
Tomorrow I will share with you new stitch work ready for my shop update.... hope your week is going well x
