No Stitching Today

This weekend, I can't go on stitching because of a little cut in my finger, very small though, it will be gone tomorrow. It's okay because it made me paint this: I took a sheet of my beloved black paper and started another tatzelwurm in gouache.
On Saturday, we took a walk in one of the lovely parks in our town. The scene with the artificial lake is very picturesque. In this pavillion, they can buy drinks or rent a boat, there is a public pool, and after its is closed down, people swim in the lake.

I love those feathery forepaws.

I must say you live in the most picturesque town. There is always something beautiful to see in your photos. Hope your finger heals fast, but it's nice that you are working in another medium while sewing is difficult.

We never talked baby talk to our kids - we always spoke to them as if they were intelligent adults - which, I suppose is why they turned out that way - LOL.

presumably one uses guache undiluted?

For painting with gouache, I add just a few drops of water, just enough to make it flow from the brush.

Eva, your pictures are enchanting, as is your new painting. Hope your finger is already healing nicely.

I love the velvet-like quality of gouache and its rich tones.
