This is the companion piece for Starsweeper, the painting I posted last week. Ultramarine blue (in glass, it is cobalt) is my favorite color, and many of my pieces feature this wonderful hue. So this is for Paint Party Friday's question, do you have a favorite color? The answer is an enthusiastic yes! Two years ago, both Starsweeper and Spring Cleaning were badly damaged while in the care of a neglectful gallery owner. They are tucked in a corner in my studio and I haven't had the heart to look at them since. This summer, though, I'm going to gather my courage and look at them to see if I can repair them. I'd love to have them back.

Beautiful painting... I clicked on it to see the details...
Love the face of the moon, how the broom emulates the feathers and all the subtle cracks /textures. Also nothing like a red dress!
So is she the one that starts our day?
Thus sweeping the stars away!meg

They are damaged? Can you paint a new version? They are so charming!
Both these paintings are so beautiful, and like others said, magical.

P.S. I wish you much luck in your repair attempts :)
Such a shame they got damaged - i hope you can repair them. This is another gorgeous piece. You have a wonderful creative imagination and your paintings are so beautiful
Beautiful and whimsical! You'd think a gallery owner would know how to take proper care of paintings. It makes me angry just thinking about it!
I love this painting. The red dress is just awesome! Great work! I like that she is sweeping. Very nice. Have a great weekend.
I love this painting, love the idea..
This is a beautiful painting. I really like the thought behind it!
The temper sometimes gets damaged due to moisture ... but to me the effects of cracks like me ... is a work prciosa. Saludos
Thanks to everyone for all your kind word and encouragement about the repair. La Abela, I wish crackeleur (sp?) were the problem. These pieces have that, but it is a lovely effect. The problem here is it looks like a child has taken a blunt instrument and scrawled across the work, taking off several layers of paint and gold leaf. Gosh, I get a knot in my throat just thinking about it. I'll post before and after pics, if I get the courage to look at them!
Gorgeous work, I love the expression on her face. It is no wonder that you want these beautiful paintings back.
Ah, I'm loving this theme, another sweeper. Fantastic work! ;)
Beautiful peice; so sorry to hear it was damaged. that is a shame, hope you can repair her and get her back on the wall!
