Watercolour 'The Book Worm at the Beach'

I don't remember why I was inspired to create this particular painting which is an assembly of items that I either own or have owned at one time or another. I enjoyed doing it although it took a while to decide on the pieces that I wanted to incorporate into the picture, and how they should be placed, as well as the size, the colours etc. I'm fairly happy with it except for the blue scarf which is supposed to look as though it is tumbling out of the bag but looks more like the bag is regurgitating it.

Even the little owl is a less colourful interpretation of a large bejewelled pendant that I have clipped onto a handbag.

Someone said that the writing in the book must have taken ages to do but it is actually just scribbled words in a fine Faber-Castell Pitt Artist pen which, as a whole, make no sense at all. 

I framed this one and have it on my bedroom wall. It looks quite good and is very different from my other paintings. I must do more still lifes. 

Over two years later, Grok Imagine has arrived and trying to use the above painting as a base for a video was a bit tricky.  For now, this is the best that I could make of it.
