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. 🙂
aw thanks so much Theresa!
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!
Thanks so much! Yes, I have the other oval canvas here waiting for me…but I have another project in the works so it might have to wait:(
