The first one is "Cotton Lace", as both the mat and the knitting are cotton lacework. The knitting is my singlet top - the one in 12 ply cotton that I keep unravelling and starting again. I had to crop this painting quite a lot, as the painting of the knitting didn't work out so well. I'm not 100% convinced that this painting works well... hmmm....
This painting is called "Hot Chocolate", and features one of the Time Thief Beanies (Taph's pattern) in lovely pink-variegated Jet. I'm really happy with how the fabric worked out. I painted this one quickly, and it worked out fairly well.
I think you might be right about the first one. There are elements of it that work well (I think the lemon is a nice touch) and the lace work is good but I liked earlier ones better.
ReplyDeleteHowever, the hot chocolate one is wonderful. Very simple and appealing! Something to be said for just getting a piece painted quickly I think!
Damn - you did it again. Lovely, Jejune. I quite like the cropped nature of the first one. Intimate.
