Spinning a Tale WIP 7

I've been busy painting the folds in the apron fabric over the last few days. I'm a bit sick of red now (grin). I decided to use red for the apron as it will provide a good contrast to set off the hands. The camera really doesn't like red but I have tried my best in photoshop to get the photo looking as close to the painting as possible. Some of the subtle colours in the glazing have been lost though.



Now I am going to paint the spinning wheel. My husband pointed out to me yesterday that I had missed a vital connection between the big wheel and the smaller bobbin wheel.  Its good to have a technical person in the house. Luckily this should be an easy fix with the help of a magic eraser and some tape:)

  1. Ona, it is coming along fabulously. Nice of your hubby to help you out like that. Sometimes it takes another eye to see something intricate. I like to look at my painting in a mirror or at a photo of it because things show up that way that need fixing too. This is so awesome!

  2. Yes Carol, it's always good to have another pair of eyes looking at your painting. I think sometimes we stare at it for so long we don't notice the obvious things. I often take a photo and put it on my computer screen if no one is around. That helps me for some reason.
