And Again...

I am still rummaging around in old stuff that just doesn't make it, yet.
This week I thought of one and had to really hunt for it as it wasn't under the bed in the 
usual location but had been moved into my portfolio of signed work.
Don't know why it was signed.  I have never been happy with it.


So here it was.  And here is the background that I loved.

This was created with transparent paint and lots of stamps.


And here it is today.
So, I promise, this next week I will try something NEW but I have really 
enjoyed this journey through old paintings.
Wishing all a Happy PPF

The transformation is wonderful, but I think it looks great at every stage. I just like colour, I guess.

I love that background and what you've done with the flowers.
Sometimes it's fun to revisit and rework older pieces. We are always moving on and these pieces tell our journey. Each layer adds interest.
