Handpainted Handbag
I just completed two new portraits this weekend, but this time I chose to paint them on a vintage wooden handbag I recently purchased on Etsy. Like a blank canvas, the purse called to me. Instead of my usual watercolor portraits, I was able to work in acrylics, which are much more forgiving.

Hello, Ms. Costanza. So good to hear from you on my blog, and ironically I was thinking of YOU just yesterday as I tried on neck scarves. Well, I bought one, and now wonder if I'll ever wear it. I gave ALL of my old ones to The Good Will last year, because, like you, I never wear them or anything on my neck. Now I just look at it and wonder, but, as my neck is getting quite old and wrinkled...
ReplyDeleteLove the Da Vinci point too about simplicity.
My thoughts (knowing that each thought is a prayer) are for your dear husband.
