A Bright Lady

I was painting this lady as I listened to an audio book about women in China. The descriptions of their brightly colored clothes stuck with me as I came to this dress. As the story developed there were many good-byes and that stuck with me too. As this woman leaves the farm she waves as the wind carries her away.

    Beth--it is good to see your painting! I'm taken with the patterns in the woman's blouse and skirt--they draw me in (no pun intended).
    What book were you reading that inspired her?

    Hi Hannah...I was listening to Shanghai Girls. I really think time flies when I paint to an audio book. My brain needs several places to be at one time. Ha..draw me in..hope your week is going well..talk soon

    Hi Beth - it's so much fun how the story worked it's way beautifully into your painting.

    I like to give that part of my brain something to do while I'm painting too. It keeps me from getting too critical.
