...for me to occasionally dabble in landscape-type paintings when requested.
My Aunt Bonnie, like me, loves the sea (I'm certain it's a hereditary thing). One of the main things she loves: Lighthouses. Aunt Bonnie = Lighthouses...always has. She asked me to make her a lighthouse picture a few weeks ago, so I did a watercolor sketch and sent it to her...and forgot to sign it. She's a sweet stickler for things like that and demanded I make her another, SIGNED this time. I did, except this time 'round, I used acrylics.
The idea of making tapestries has been really intriguing to me lately so I decided to experiment using canvas. My intention is to slide a dowel rod through the top (replacing that nightmare thing I have in there right now) but keeping the idea of hemp twine wrapped around the edges and used as a way of hanging the painting (plus I think she'll like the rope look combined with the painting). And, yes, it's signed! :)
