One Misty Morning Print

August 28, 2007 | Filed Under my art, paintings | by Sarah Blank |

I am ever-so-excited about this painting, my first oval! A rather forlorn looking gal reads in the shipyard on a cold, cold misty morning. The rest of the story is for you to construct. I imagine her hat to be sewn from a very thick piece of felted wool, hence her being able to concentrate on her book and not shiver to death. How I wish I had a hat like that! Thats the fun thing about painting…dressing the characters in imaginary clothing that becomes oh-so-real. The original piece is painted in acrylics and papers on a cotton oval canvas.

A print is available in my shop

This is really quite beautiful, Sarah. Your work is becoming more and more detailed. When I get a little money, I need to go shopping at your store. :)

Terrific piece, Sarah!! All of the details and the colors you’ve used just enhance her so!!! I’m looking forward to her mirror image or partner!
