CACTUS AND LACE

Here is the final version of Cactus and Lace. I was able to get rid of most of the charcoal lines and even things out a bit. I got this lace while visiting Amsterdam. I made the curtains and have been enjoying them for at least 20 years. I think part of that enjoyment is remembering that I had the guts to buy all the lace and the tenacity to make the curtains. Now I would prefer staying home and taking a walk in the neighborhood, or painting the way the light comes through this Amsterdam lace.
