Last week at Sunday Sketches, I had a watercolour sketch which I refined into this version. I put her against a sunset background, acrylic on cardstock (6.5" x 4.5").

"The Legendary Secret of Goof-Proof Cooking: The Famous Kitchen Witch
For centuries, Norwegians have hung this good witch in their kitchen. They believe she has the power to keep roasts from burning, pots from boiling over, and sauces from spilling."

HI Christine,
The painting is lovely, and she looks great against the sunset.
Have a great weekend!

Love love love your Kitchen Witch! I think I need one of those for my kitchen for sure. Happy PPF!
what an adorable kitchen witch! I love in particular her expression!
I didn't know about a "kitchen witch" Thanks for sharing-your witch looks fab in that sky!
I wasn't familiar with the kitchen witch. The black shows up very well against the sky colors.
Well, you made the image look really flying. Saludos
Great colors, Christine! I like the idea of a kitchen witch - I'd never heard of that before. I wonder if she helps make "good foods" like cake and chips (from a few posts down) taste even better? Hee hee!

i think I have a kitchen witch. I clean and put stuff away, go to work and come back to the kitchen and she's struck. Made me giggle - GREAT artwork. Happy PPf !
smashing artwork and I love the idea of a kitchen witch, such fun.
Enjoy the weekend, happy PPF, Annette x
She looks like a very friendly witch. I used to have one hanging in my kitchen. She got pretty dishevled looking so I tossed her out. Kitchen witches were very popular here about 25 years ago. Don't see them very much any more.
I need me one of those witches to stop pots boiling over... what a fun painting...xx
fWonderful painting, original idea! <3
You painted my picture, wow. LOL. Your art is so good, truly.
This is fun! I need one like that in my kitchen. love how you did the background too.
I need such a witch, any help in the kitchen would improve things here! She is wonderfully painted! HPPF!
Ha ha I used to have a kitchen witch in my kitchen for years in the form of a very cute stuffed doll that I made!! Love the movement in your witch...so cool. She looks like she's flying!!!
Good job!!
Hugs Giggles
Your kitchen witch is on the move - as in your whole painting moves. Just wonderful - Happy PPF
Great painting - love the folds in her cloak and the texture of the landscape. I wonder if she will keep crumbs (read: copious amounts of child-food) from growing on the floor? If so, i need her.
Great artwork...Like the way you have captured her movement :)
Wonderful painting.
