Hi Anni~I just love the way that you too use & exploit acrylics in a non-traditional way. Sort of not a landscape, not a portrait, not an abstract...simply a beautiful colourful artwork which as ever shows great skill, fine art and a wonderful design...executed in your unique style. Long may your imagination get transferred to canvas.

Strong design again Anni, like it. I bet it looks good in conjunction with the others in your series...brave of you to include the netting which makes it that bit more atmospheric. Well done.

Acrylic on cavas Size: 40 cm by 30 cm Here is the third in my Hat series. I used the same limited palette of complimentary colours as my Green Hat and Red Hat paintings i.e. Napthol Crimson, Permanent Sap Green and Titanium White. Influenced by Modigliani, I enjoyed creating these sorrowful eyed, rose-bud mouthed, swan necked women. The background a bold stripe. When I painted the chocolate brown next to the mint green it reminded me of delicious peppermint creams. Ive so enjoyed painting these women and their hats, I dont want to stop here and may continue to add some others when I feel inclined. It has been a learning curve using such a restricted palette, as I normally revel in using a rainbow of colour. You cannot hide in a hat; you will be noticed, especially by men. To men, you become a lady when you don a hat ... one who they rush to open doors for. To women, you become an inspiration, reminding them that they have a closet full of hats they have not had the courage to wear.
