Its finished!....I think?

I am going to say the painting is finished.
I have fiddled around with it today, adding things then removing them because they were not quite right. Its strange how all of a sudden you reach a final point. I shall put the picture away for a while, then, I might add something later? Probably not though, as I think I have achieved the feeling in the picture that I wanted.




Changing the subject, look what treasure I found on the shelf of a charity shop the other day!


A candle with a leaf from the 'Glastonbury thorn' just waiting for me to buy it, only £1.25
I shall light this on Christmas Eve.

    It's very very beautiful!
    What are you going to do with it? (say I wistfully, wishing I had money to spare, and not just £60 left to go and do the whole extended familys christmas shopping!)

    Your painting is haunting me! Not in a bad way of course, it is very beautiful and you can tell it came from a place and out through your hand and brush... I also like the way that it is lightness not darkness that are the powerful elements. x

    Hello Karen - I just wandered onto your blog and feel very at home here. I'm an artist too - there's a link to my gallery from my blog (click on the owl at the top of the side-bar.) I really love your work, especially the owl picture - I am often known as White Owl!

    I love your dreamy art, especially your huge moon and the obvious movement of wind in your title graphic.

    It turned out beautifully, she has such a lovely face, so gentle and expressive.

    I am looking forward to opening my advent calendar soon!

    Thanks for all of your lovely comments :)
    I shall hopefully get it printed up and sell a few as prints. Although it is too big to fit on my scanner?
    I 'll hold on to the original at the moment and keep it for a possible future exhibition?.....
