I finally finished this painting. I know there must be..... hundreds of dots! Twenty something years ago I painted furniture something like this( the background without the girl). Sometimes the pieces would take months depending on the size. I painted a floor lamp and it sold the minute it came in the shop. I would love to do another lamp for myself. It just takes so long to do this type of painting, so I have to dig into the bag of patience( which I do not seem to have much of lately). There are things I do not like about this pic, so I'm anxious to start another one.
I am calling this piece "Dream Weaver".
