The Right Time

This started off as an old watercolour painting of mine that I'd given up on a while ago. For some reason I didn't want to throw it away. Today I added a few lines of dark sepia ink and gave it a new lease of life.



Don't you think some things just need to wait for the right time?

There is a sadness in her eyes but her mouth is slightly smiling,do i recognize melancholia, x

Great job, I do find that sometimes walking away from something lets you think with a clearer head and usually you can improve :)

Bee happy x
Have a delicious day!

Love her eyes!!
I have many paintings half done, waiting for 'something' to make them better :)

Gorgeous work..and yes..when totally divine we are called back to a piece to create a new energy with it! I love the striations of her hair..they almost make me think of the bark of a tree..and how she is closely connected to nature or attuning to it's healing nature...she feels like she wants to be set free in some way!
Beautiful piece..stunning!

A recent comment on my site said we should keep all our old work as reference and you have shown it is good for returning to as well.

Thanks Renilde, you are right and very observant. :)

Thanks Bee, yes I agree, when you're in the middle of it all, it's difficult to see the woods for the tres!

Thanks Micki :)

Thanks Victoria, again you are very in tune with my painting!

Thanks Monica. :)

Thanks Bella, It's so difficult to keep things that you don't like though isn't it? Comparing them to the new work is a good boost though, that is, if the new work is better! ;o)

She looks like she is dreaming of the days when life was easier...tell her not to worry...the pendulum always swings back :)

I like the other figure in the painting, she seems to be remembering.

I definitely do think there is a right time for everything. The trick is knowing when it is.
I love your painting and all of its details. I found myself looking at all of them in wonder. Your work is beautiful.

Thankyou Poppy Cottage :) I enjoyed yours too!

Thanks Julie :)
Thanks Priti, Yes it certainly does.
Thanks Lorraine, I was wondering if anyone would notice the girl in the background!

Hi Lynne, *waving back*! You're very welcome. :)
Thanks Ginny, you're so kind. I haven't mastered that trick yet! ;o)
