word 27 of 30
hum
5 1/2" x 4"
acrylic on board
We are down here near the end of the words.
For some reason when I got gracia's word hum I thought of a siren.
Of mythology…like the siren's of the sea.
& I wondered if a siren just hummed whether or not it would attract fish. As opposed to singing and attracting the sailor's on ships. And my sketches went though a bunch of different variations until I got to what you see above. I just really wanted to paint a girl with the goggles too. So I added them to my humming siren.
three weeks or less if baby is going to join the world on the due date. wow.
three words left: one painted, one sketched onto the base, and one needs a bit more work on the sketch…

Such beautiful colours, and I quite agree with you… a siren could attract fish through her humming alone.
Three weeks… wow! I’m so excited and nervous for you.
take care, g xo

Somehow I love that you’re going to finish this project just before the baby is born. Because being a new parent is lot like being at a loss for words.
