Somebody last week wanted to see the Rainbow when it is finished. Now this one is on my wall. My first paining and I will share it on my exhibition in November.   :)

This week I share no photo except for the one at the bus stop that was the cause of the Crack series. At that time I was not good at editing in Photo Shop and spent several hours to fix the image as I wanted it.

I also tried some yarn work.Not yet learned how thick the paint shall be.

 It took me some trouble to figure out how to transfer the image from the screen to the paper. There was some computer, needle and pencil work involved in order to transfer the crack from the computer to the paper.

Being tricked by my eyes!
When I worked with this post I realized my eyes and brain did not see the crack image as it was.
I painted White on black and was thinking black on white for the opposite side. BUT, the original is different shades of white on white! An importent thing to learn I guess. If I some day get really good at this I will try all the shades that is in the original image.



OUCH..........this was a long one.

Linking up with the following memes. My thanks to the hosts:

  2. The rainbow tree if fabulous a stunning piece of wall art. I believe our eyes just like us have good and bad days and at times only wish us to see what they want us to see. It's a good way to study when we are given subjects in both black and white as we can pick out things that may become lost in the busy world of colour.
    Happy PPF Tracey.
