It does'nt matter how many times I paint roses I don't get tired or bored.However they don't come easy and each time it feels like I could do better.So ,I keep trying.....

SOLD.

Snapdragons,dandelions,clover and a few I don't know the names for are all happily growing wild in my garden,without any help from me.Its just as well ,I am a hopeless gardener anyway!

Wild Ones II

SOLD

Its taking me a bit of time to get used to posting everyday again.One thing I have noticed is I want to take more time over each painting than before.Not necessarily more brushstrokes but thinking about each mark I make and trying to make them count.


I found  these flowers growing wild in between the paving and I felt I wanted to give them as much importance as any cultivated flower.

With this little painting I tried my best to loosen up and leave the rough edges.There is definitely freedom in doing that.What I've decided to do is paint in oils if I have time during the day(so I can take a good photo in daylight),if I don't get time until the evening then I will paint in acrylics so I can scan the painting.Also keeping both mediums going I think will keep me on my toes .

Pom and Plum

Hi everyone!!  I can't believe so much time has gone by without posting and in fact no small paintings at all in that time.As soon as I decided to take time off  I was pulled in so many directions my head has'nt stopped spinning.I had one large commission ,a 30"x40" canvas of a basket of fruit,and a smaller single rose painting.I completed those two weeks ago,the family absolutely love them, and in between our usual work I had cakes and centrepieces for weddings as well.

I missed blogging,but I believe everything happens for a reason and the time has been well spent.I feel refreshed and ready to carry on with my small paintings and I am so looking forward to catching up with what everyone has been doing.
I know our American friends have been suffering with heatwaves recently,I hope its cooler now.

I planned to try out new techniques but I did'nt get any time at all,now I hope I will make time for some exploration.
Todays small painting has been a joy to paint,its like coming home.

I wish you all well and joy in your lives and your work,in fact everything I would wish for myself.xxx
