The Light and the Black
The family computer is back and appears to be working - yay! I still can't upload any new pictures but I did find something I did earlier. This painting's called 'The Light' and now hangs on my eldest daughter's wall in London. At 64 x 79cm it's quite big compared to my more recent paintings.
Here's my youngest in her big sister's flat with Mavis the cat and if you look carefully you can see the painting on the wall behind. We stayed overnight on our visit there a few weeks ago, so in case you thought the 'cushion' with skulls on is part of the usual room furnishings, it isn't, it's actually a duvet. She's almost a teenager and part of her particular teenage requirement is that she wants a skull themed bedroom with black walls. I've compromised and she now has a black lampshade, black bead curtain on the door and a chair and small black cupboard that I painted for her.
Yes, her big sister went through exactly the same as a teenager but as you can see, her tastes have thankfully changed. Although after saying that, I love that they have their own ideas!
I'm glad I didn't sell this one.

Funny to hear about your younger daughters 'black' phase, I remember going through something like that heheh, sounds like your compromise is a great idea!!!
Thanks Christina, It's an acrylic on canvas. I like to use acrylics because they don't need special extras added to them - just water! :o)
I love this style of yours. so spiritual and very beautiful!
Hugs!

Thanks April :o)
Have a lovely weekend.x
LOL...I remember my obsession with wanting a black duvet cover. My Mum went on a wild goose hunt for one, couldn't find one (I'm not sure 'how' hard she tried...) & returned with a cream cover & some black dye.
A wash cycle later I had a lovely 'grey' duvet cover! *snorts*
Not quite what I had in mind.
