I’ve been working on abstract characters for literally months. I say hours and hours@but those hours are stretched over a few months. Finally had an epiphany last night and knew what inward going to paint complete with how I would paint the eye, nose, lips. I picked out themes and names to@go with the characters no th is is the first one. Meet “Shirl withPearls”. She loves pearls, tea and red wine. She is an old fashioned kind of girl. Lol Please enjoy my bit of fun and nonsense! It has me in a very happy place at the moment. She has been added to@my abstract @bluethumbart shop. Link in bio Merle with Swirls is the next one and she is almost finished. I’ll share tomorrow. #abstractportrait #abstract #girlwithpearls #shirlwithpearls #blu #redwine #tea #pearls #womaninabstract #funabstract #themesabstract #bluehtumbartist #juliehollisabstracts #goldcoastartist https://www.instagram.com/p/CpCDeViPp3g/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This was a very real challenge for me as I had never painted soap bubbles before so after much practice I devised a method and this is the result...Doesn't he look relaxed as he enjoys his bath....Blissfully soaking up the warmth of the water....Love that feeling myself...
