New pretty girl
Here is the piece I mentioned before. The one I started months ago. It’s on Birch Plywood and I’ve burned the design into the wood using a pyrography too. It’s weird how you can leave something for so long and then come back to it with new eyes. I made such a mess of this that as a last ditch attempt to save it I painted black over the whole thing and literally re-worked the entire piece again. I’m glad I did! I really got in to it and then seemed to get results quite quickly, which I enjoyed. I’m happy with the dramatic effect. The quote (and inspiration for the painting) is taken from Khalil Gibran’s ‘The Prophet’. I love this book! I love how it can be dipped in and out of at any point in the book and always provides an insight which somehow seems relevant. The book was given by a good friend to Jamie and I as a gift when we had our Commitment Ceremony in 2005.On a different note, we’ve had snow here today in Yorkshire. Very pretty!! Most of the local schools were closed, ours included so we went down to the reservoir to sledge. What fun!!! We found most of the kids from school to be there! There’s even more snow forecast for tonight. Yay!! I don’t think my kids have ever seen so much of it in their lives! It’s lovely!

Work is love made visible…….ahhhhh…..sigh, if only more people took notice of those words, the world would be a happier place.
Lovely picture Suzie, perfect sentiment.
Thank you Reet!
Yes, I agree. Shame most people miss out on it!
