Last weekend we visited Max and Sarah in their new home. They had stripped the walls and while we were there, we helped with a little decorating.
I normally dodge DIY but as their baby is due, I joined in, by painting around the edges of the walls, while they steamed ahead with a roller over the larger areas.
The week before, I had been painting walls of a very different kind in my current painting
'Forget-Me- Nots'.
Using a shaper (that's a stick with a rubber on the end), sponge, tissue and sandpaper I tried to get the impression of an old, peeling wall to act as a background to the images of the five sisters who will be placed on top.
I am not sure which was the most successful.
