red red red
I couldn’t think of what to name this painting.
I showed it to my friend Priscilla who surprised me a few weeks before with a watercolor travel kit that I LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! The painting above was the second painting I finished with this lovely kit. The first was this….
. A Bunny Christmas .
Now back to the little girl, I showed my friend the painting. She asked me the name, and I had some silly name like “Girl with Young Trees”.
I have such a difficult time naming pieces, I usually revert to just describing the picture and call it a title… i.e. “girl with skinned knee“, “a girl and her chickens“, “girl with white flowers“, etc. etc. Maybe I’ll do something daring and paint boys, then I could name them something like, “boy with…blah blah blah…”
So, anyway, Priscilla said, “She looks like Little Red”.
And I said, “Yeah! She does look like Little Red!”
So that’s her name now…..
*Little Red* and *A Bunny Christmas* have already sold to two lovely repeat Etsy customers (Hello Sandra and Michele!), but prints are available in my shop.
And I have a new book for you to read… it’s called : The Invention of Hugo Cabret. Oh and LOOK! I was on a small corner of Powell’s Books INK recommending my favorite kid’s books! Oh how I love books….
