Yesterday I had a bit of a bee in my bonnet.
I'd had an unfinished painting staring at me for a few weeks.
It sniggered every time I walked past the door.
I started work on it as soon as I got up.
It was an epic battle.
I don't know if I won, we're at that stand-off stage now.
I'll have to leave it alone for a while and not look at it for a few days.
It's about a woman who married a sailor.
I might write a little story about it, but she hasn't told me everything I need to know just yet.
So for now the sailor's wife is staring at me and I'm staring at her...

ReplyDeleteIf you saw me chucking paint around and cursing like a good'un I don't think you'd be that impressed!
As for the sailors wife...she's a dark horse that one.

Hello! Just found you and I love this painting. Always a joy to see a snippet of someone else's studio too. xx
ReplyDeleteLovely to meet you Naomi.

Thank you! I'm trying to carve out a bit of time for painting and making art recently. Feels good. Love coming across people like you who inspire me. Sewing day today - lovely to meet someone who also does both. xx
DeleteBeautiful work Mrs B. Good to see your painting again. x
ReplyDeleteThank you. Sujata,

I wonder what secrets she will tell you, can't wait to find out, well that's if she allows you to share :) x
ReplyDeleteShe is quite mysterious, either that or very quiet! X
DeleteI immediately thought of Klimt when I saw your painting and had to zoom in. I love those faces, so knowing. What a wonderful place to paint in and to weave stories. You know it already , but I say it again, I think you're dead clever.

You are very very clever, can't wait to hear what Mrs sailor has to say xx
ReplyDeleteIf I saw this in a window I'd want to go in and ask how much it was, beautiful. x
