Vandy ha detto...

Gorgeous painting, Jane. Reminds me of many happy hours sorting my grandmother's cottons into colour order in their box when I was a child.

Fabulous warm colour!

the cotton reals are brilliant, beautiful washes and yes it reminds me of sewing with my mum too, I love artworks like this depicting everyday items that make beautiful little works of art! Gorgeous colours too!

The first one was beautiful but this is even better - off center, more intimate because it's larger; and love the hint of the thread moving out and down. Now I'm waiting for a blue one! ha ha

Instead of pushing "comment" button I did something else and found myself in the end of your blog page. So I scrolled back up and on the way realized that these small and beautiful and individual studies/pieces/experiments worth a successful personal exhibition. I very much hope it will happen soon.
Cotton reel looks good, too!

I loved the previous one, Jane but I think this one is excellent! I love the fine nuances of the thread and the soft washes. Great watercolour!

Love this cotton reel, Jane. That one 'uncoloured' bit of the reel at the bottom left ...is a master touch!
