CLOAKED - 8 x 6 mixed media

CLOAKED
8"h x 6"w pencil, gold leaf, fabric + acrylic 
mounted onto stretched canvas
sold / private collector

The young girl was cloaked . . . 
and peered from underneath the fringed lashes. 

Wary . . . 
from the unknown.

Hidden . . . 
from the world.

Just a subtle security.

    I absolutely adore this, Susan! What a lovely way to work with a pencil sketch. And as Maria says, it's hauntingly beautiful!

    Absolutely beautiful. This looks like a self portrait. If my furnace had not just broke down, Iwould buy it cuz, it would remind me of you daily. Has anyone esle said that it looks like you?

    A BIG thanks to everyone for commenting.

    You know there is a similarity Debby, but no, it wasn't a self-portrait. Perhaps I should tackle one?

    What a departure from your usual postings. Subtle and beautiful to look at. Nice touch with the gold, too!

FRIDAY BREAK

2 + A HOLE 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel 8" square white archival matte, glass + gold leaf frame PRIVATE COLLECTOR It's been a long week getting everything together for the opening of Frayed , so decided I needed a sweet treat to chill out. Nothing like a frosted donut which is always so yummy! When I was young my Mother used to make homemade donuts, which is indescribable. At that time my sister and 3 brothers fought over the "holes", which were a perfect one-bite affair that always melted in our mouths. Those were the days!
