Blanket - Illo Friday

Blanket by emila
Favourite waste of time | watercolor

The theme is ‘Blanket’ over at Illo Friday. I haven’t got time to draw anything this week due to heavy workloads so I thought this painting fits perfectly for the title. I did this painting back in 2000. It wasn’t protected so you could see the smears, caused by the rain few days ago. You see this painting resides in my portfolio bag which I kept by my table near the window. The window was wide open and I was having a nap when I heard my mother called me ‘tengok ni, habis dah basah!’ (See, it’s all wet!)

No worries, I’ll touch-up the smears in no time. Haha, don’t you just love doodling on the bed!?

    What a clever perspective this painting has! And the colors and pattern are so vibrant and perfectly balanced. Now I want to curl up in bed and draw! Beautiful!

    I love the unusual perspective and the colours and patterns. I hope the painting will soon look as good as new.

    This painting reminds me of my late grandma. She loves quilting :smile:

    Lucky the rain didn’t destroy this beautiful painting. Why don’t you frame it?
