NFAC: 'Wash Day'


Art: NFAC:  'Wash Day' by Artist Patience
".....One of four entries by me for this month's Nibblefest Art Contest (NFAC) (~the theme for May being "The Elements:  Fire, Water, Earth and Air") is an original acrylic painting of vellum, mounted permanently onto a 3.5" by 8" reclaimed wooden board (3/4 " thick).

May's Nibblefest theme, 'The Elements', was quite different than usual.  Being as that there are four classical elements (Fire, Water, Earth, Air), we were allowed to enter a total of four pieces rather than the usual limit of three, provided that each pertained to a separate element.  This is my entry for 'Air'.

We don't own a working dryer.  By choice.  Years ago, when the heating element of our old, second hand dryer burned out, we just never bothered to get it fixed, or replaced.  I didn't use it that often anyway, preferring as I always have an old-fashioned clothesline.  Air drying clothes saves money and energy, besides the fact that you just can't beat that fresh, air-dried smell.  And so we have here a busy Mama and her little helper, on 'Wash Day' (unfortunately my own 'little helper' isn't nearly this cheerful when it comes to our clothesline.  She wants our dryer back.....!)
