word 17 of 30

book {3.5" x 5"}
acrylic on board
Originally I thought that I would do books for monica's word {she did a great boat quilt recently}, but then I thought about what books did for me. A good one can transport me to a world unlike my own and so was born the idea of a boat in the hair. I was letting it sort of float around in my brain, how to have a boat in her hair, but still let you know it is hair and then I saw her.
Here is a little glimpse of me painting the final touches.
