Painting And Some Stitching







I did manage to get to life drawing this week but we had a lady with clothes on!
So this is more of a portrait.
I painted with acrylic and used some oil pastels.
She looked quite a formidable character, a stern staring expression.
I hope she never sees this!


To brighten up the page here is the felt picture I'm working on.
I am now adding some hand stitching, sorry the picture is not brilliant as the light was fading.
I will take some more pictures tomorrow in daylight.


Lastly my friend gave me this pattern from the 1950's.
I love it!

You are a very talented artist. The stitching is so lovely. Will you make the pattern up into an item for yourself? x

You are quite talented. The painting is lovely... i admire your use of color which seems to match the stern tone you mentioned. You most likely picked up on something and translated it into your art.

I can never find the words to express how much I love your stitching.
