News #portrait

Yesterday I got this picture back from the framer. I made it just after I came home from hospital after the heart incident. I felt lind of shattered and confused and tried to express these feelings in the face of the portrait through the eyes and the layered material in different shades. My dog Ghwyny always senses how I feel, I call her my therapy dog, because she is so sensitive and always comes to comfort me ,when I feel bad.She was obviously disturbed by the heart incident and sometimes I think she knew in advance. She behaved very odd in the days leading to the incident. Anyway, I wanted to capture all this and I'm happy with the result. 

I entered this work for the portrait competition of the Knitting and Stitching Show.

 Watch this space!!

When ' The fisherman's wife' went on her journey to Montana, I was a little upset, because I had just finished her and she was gone. I know she has found a good home now, but I missed her anyway. Therefore I made 'The fisherman's wife II'. 

I'm now working on portrait number 2, 'the herbalist's daughter'.

She is not finished yet, but I show you a little glimpse. I think I have to do something with the background, at least that's what my friend said. And because she is a wise woman, I will do so.
