Bittersweet- paintings

This one started in the spring. It has an unbelievable amount of layers of acrylic paint on it.
Thankfully it is a small painting ! The truth is I am absolutely enamoured with the thick layering and the resulting creamy texture. I missed that with all the years of paitning watercolors.



She is feeling a bit bittersweet, but I wouldn't worry about her. She has learned to get the most pleasure out of the smallest things in her life, so she will be fine afterall...
I took Lucy today to my dear friend Krystina who offered to teach her how to crochet. The result of this was that I can't keep my hands from my hook and yarn ,and Lucy was at it until after ten when her dad scolded her and turned off the light in her room.
This weekend we will be under the spell of yarn yum! yea..!!!

Those are beautiful...loving the colours! I agree the texture of acrylic is so enticing.

Too cute and funny that both you and Lucy were under the spell of crocheting. I am the same way.

Happy new week! xoxo
