Abstract felt

As most of you know my felts are usually whimsical, Welsh landscapes. Today I just listed something completely different and everyone will think I've lost the plot so I will explain how it came about.

A couple of days ago we had a beautiful sunny day. The first time this year when it was comfortable outside without a coat on. I spent a couple of hours in the afternoon in my poly tunnel repotting tomato plants and sewing other vegetable seeds. I felt happy, warm and joyful.

When I came back indoors I only had half an hour before it was time to start cooking so I decided to fill an art journal page. I've been following prompts from a lovely blog called 'Daisy Yellow'.  I picked a sunburst prompt and doodled away then got some paints out and painted it and then did some more doodling. I had so much fun dinner was late. This is my art journal page.

That evening I though what a cheerful felt it would make but it is so different from my usual work and only a doodle anyway that I banished the thought. 

The next morning as I was browsing Pinterest I came across an aboriginal painting which was based on the sunburst format. The colours were much more subdued than mine but the format was similar. I decided it must be fate and I would make that felt after all! Here it is
