Helen - Finished Painting

First I wanted to thank you for all your comments about the bird photos and hoping to see me paint them. My next painting actually does feature a woman and a bird, but that was sketched out even before I took these photos. I guess birds do inspire me...
But first, meet Helen. Thank you, John (Rambles from my Chair), for naming her!
I like how she is all soft in this final version. Dreamy and lovely. She was pure joy to paint!

8 x 10 inch acrylic painting on canvas
(with collage and tissue paper for extra texture)

Available in my Etsy shop. 

I am also linking her to the best party on the blogs: Paint Party Friday!! Ok, so I'm late with it, but I  am pretty sure I can still participate...

We are having a gray day and while I am enjoying it, I am looking forward to sunshine tomorrow!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!!

    She looks like she leads a very interesting life...I'd like to sit down next to her with a drink and hear her story.

    Awe, she is so lovely. My little 89-year-old mother's name is Helen. Your painting actually reminds me of her sister, my Aunt Stella! Even the flower headband. **kisses** Deb
