“Emet”

Among many other activities, we painted this today, in acrylic on a 16″x16″ wood panel. Nefarious drew it (right on the wood) and I painted over her drawing, titled “Princess Khan and The Golem”. The girl is based on one of her dolls and an East Indian friend, and the other figure is the Golem — we recently read the really wonderful (and intense) David Wisniewski telling of Judah Loew ben Bezalel’s Golem… I love painting with Nefarious so I’m sure I’m biased, but I think it turned out really nicely.

The hilarious expression is typical! I think my next project is actually going to be a self/group portrait based on this picture, taken after Nefarious made tiaras for all of us a few weeks ago.

    PS. The backward writing is because after writing ‘A’ she realized that the only way to make it fit was to write in reverse.

    I love the face she’s making and I really like the trees and sun and clouds in her picture. Something very innocent and child-like about them. Fuzzy feelings, lol.

    I love it! Bob has just started painting, but his favourite way to pass the time is to tattoo himself and us with Crayolas.
