A Quiet Moment

Painting my hand has got to be one of the hardest subjects I've ever painted!! This is my entry for this weeks DailyPaintworks the Hand Challenge.

There was an indian wedding this weekend so I had some henna painted on my hands,and holding the flower is really to take time out and just admire beauty.

Wedding Cake

I've had a busy three days with a cake for a wedding and flowers.Hopefully I should have recovered enough to paint tomorrow! I had to make sugar flowers,pipe a design onto the cake and also the bride wanted diamontes in the centre of each rose.

Tick Tock

This is my entry for this weeks The Nature's Arrangement Challenge on the DailyPaintworks.I kept to the time limit,used the paintbrushes stated and also the colours allowed.I found the colour restriction the most difficult because it was hard to mix the right greens and especially getting the right colours for the brick wall.

Strawberries and a Flower

I have no idea what type of flower this is but I think it seems to go well with the strawberries.I've started

spring cleaning and I am exhausted.........and then I could'nt work out what to paint and the composition.....and then THE BACKGROUND.This is what I have most trouble with and takes the longest to work out.By the way this is painting number 99!!

Forsythia and Plums

Well my wish came true.My lovely friend Ann very kindly gave me some forsythia from her garden .Its such a beautiful flowering plant and its one of the first signs that spring is on its way.The last time I painted forsythia was when I was at school.My friend and classmate Katherine and I used to go into the fields surrounding the school and paint.Mostly we ended up doing more talking than painting ,but our teacher never used to mind too much! Ahh ....happy days.
