The Ghost of Sorrows Past





The Ghost of Sorrows Past... I desperately wanted to learn to paint white on white. Although I am happy with this painting, I still have a lot to learn about using subtle shading when using white. I am a high contrast person, and so this was so difficult for me! I have a massive antique, heavily carved frame I am thinking about putting this painting in. The frame has been painted a soft offwhite, with soft beige antiquing in the carved areas... it is beautiful!!

Anyway, I would like to do another white on white piece... But for now, I have so many others to do... I hope you enjoy this painting, and what it has to say. Leaving sorrow in the past is the best place to leave it!!!
