Freedom!

A quickie while I'm here.

I have deleted my Facebook account so as to free up more time and stop getting so utterly confused by it. Life is too short! I can write interesting emails to individuals more quickly and efficiently than getting caught in the quagmire that FB was dishing up with increasing complexity. I am free of it!

So please - email me, follow my blog, tell me about yours. mrs.bern.ross@googlemail.com

Reclining Lady

 At last I can get to my easel - just. Clambering over boxes and canvases that have been misplaced and brought back from exhibitions here there and everywhere. I'm pleased to have my babies back and pleased to have found good homes for the ones that were bought.

The model for this reclining lady loved the painting before her outline even arrived on it!  This isn't quite finished: I'm not happy with the line of her hips.But I do love the marks around her hairline and want to achieve this elsewhere on the painting.

By the way, it is created in oils on an acrylic background and the best effect was achieved when painting with my fingers. Must get back to it...
