James was watching me paint today and decided to take some photos so I thought I’d share a couple with you. It’s a good way for you to see how big this painting of the spinner woman is. The colours on the painting are a little darker in the darker areas in real life but the following photos should give you an idea of how it is looking as well as seeing me in action. I promise I haven't painted everything with my smallest brushes:)
I must admit with the size of this board the painting is taped too I have been painting this from all angles, even upright on a couple occasions but mostly flat on the table turning the board around so the part I’m working on is closest to me. Luckily today I could paint the right way up but it does mean the painting is upside down for you.
As you can see, the spinner woman keeps a very close eye on me as a paint and never stops chattering to me :) I still have some of the spinning wheel and the un-spun wool to paint but the end is now in sight. I'll post again once is finished.

Wow, Ona this was wonderful of you to share these photos. It really puts the painting in perspective. What a challenge, and you are rising to it beautifully. This is one fabulous work of art.

ReplyDeleteWonderful to see you working so hard on what is a gorgeous painting. Congrats too for joining Art Colony, one of my fav places to visit.
ReplyDeleteYes Ann, it was lovely to be invited. The painting is nearly finished. Just a little more work left to do on the wheel. Hopefully I'll be able to let you all see it tomorrow:)
