| I started this watercolor awhile back, but I have been unable to get back to it. I did add the background stripes and the shadows on her. |

| So tonight, I was able to get a little time, and do the finishing touches. I added some colored pencil in the background and a few squiggles here and there. I thought it "jazzed" up the piece (ha!). Anyway, I am satisfied with it now, and enjoyed trying something new. As women these days, we "wear a lot of hats", meaning we do a lot of different jobs. At the gallery, we also have a cafe, and I have been filling in with the cooking for the last month. My fulltime cook has had surgery, and she is still at home recuperating. So, instead of painting and drawing, I have been measuring, stirring, boiling and baking! But cooking is quite creative too, and I have enjoyed it. I have always heard that the best kind of work is work you are passionate about. Art is certainly my first passion (although being a grandmother is running a close second!). But I enjoy all aspects of my business...afterall, it was all my idea to begin with. So, I will savor my last week or so in the kitchen, but I was tickled to get to finish this painting as well. And now on a peaceful Friday night, its' hats off!! sheltongail@hotmail.com |
