Art again! (IF - Infinite)
I've been working on a commission and experimenting with some fingerless gloves at the request of someone who bought one of my scarves, so haven't been painting all that much that I can show you.
So, today, I sat down and painted all day. I am almost done with the commission, which I'll share as soon as it's done and I know that Joanne likes it. And I also painted this dreamy lady. I used lots of light molding paste (love that texture) on an 8 x 10 canvas.
I entered her into Illustration Friday for this week's theme of "infinite." Tomorrow, I'll have her available at my Etsy store (maybe even tonight if I can find the time).
Thank you all for your fun comments on our beach outings. I was especially amused by the comments about my accent in the video - I can really still hear my German accent, which most people don't detect at all. But when Jo suggested I had a southern twang, I told Daniel it was time to move away from here. Just kidding...we aren't going anywhere in the foreseeable future!
I hope you are all having a wonderful Friday!!

I love your new piece of art & the sentiment. This is a very appealing color combo. Also, I love her big green eyes! She looks like she really can see the future!
ReplyDeleteYeah I can see the texture... I should try it!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!

I can't actually say I heard any hint of a southern accent except for when you say 'Savannah', of course I don't think anyone can say 'Savannah' without a little twang!
ReplyDeleteI love the texture!
ReplyDeleteIt was so nice to hear your voice on the video! I detected only a little bit of a German accent at the very end, and only because I was listening for it.

Hi!
ReplyDeleteI love that the ladies you paint have a "Silke signature" glow around them. Do you know what I mean? What beautiful colours youve used here:-)
Beautiful piece, yet again, Silke! I love stopping by to see your work!
