This is my mums favourite painting. It is the only painting I think I will keep in my room. I created it by accident actually at about one in the morning a few months ago. I love accidents in paintings! they're always the most exciting to look at. I started wiping away paint and that created a washed out feel especially to her face where the red pigment is. her hands were not painted, but wiped away from the damp existing paint underneath. Then I gave her fingernails a coat of red. The black puss is my Dads cat, Freddy, and she loves hay bags! This painting was created by wiping off an under painting that hadn't completely dried yet. You may be able to see a faint outline of a woman lying down looking up at the starry night. I love it when you don't quite know the outcome of a painting. I don't like painting from photos..the imagination is far more exciting and unpredictable!
