The theme of the July challenge of 'Goed Gezien - Goed Bekeken' is 'Hats in the lead role' where a pun can be found in the Dutch title (lead role = hoofdrol and head = hoofd).
I only have a straw hat that I mostly use when painting outdoors, to keep the sun from my eyes and still see the right colours - something sunglasses cannot do. This hat is in my possession for many years now and I have changed the decorations several times. This times it is a small ribbon and some crocheted flowers. The ribbon is not exactly in the angle between the brim and the bulb, it never is because I did only sew it in a few spots, afraid of damaging the straw.
So for this challenge I put on the hat, asked my husband to make a reference picture and use that picture for a small watercolour painting.
Because the hat had to have the lead role, my composition is all about that hat and both the background and me (the person wearing the hat) are mostly suggested.
The information about the materials I have used and the size of the painting can be found in my Tumblr blog.
If you are interested in this painting or any other work I made, please contact me.
