Sunny Monday

I meant to upload my tulip tile - mark 2. Let's see what I make of this one.




I tried to be a bit adventurous with this painting -no tracing just slapped the paint on-not sure the purists would approve but sometimes you just have to have a go. Those leaves look as if they are under water at present but I will work on them I don't mind painting leaves. A lady artist told me 'Don't work on the leaves they are not the star.' That would be right so I find the leaves easier than the flowers. Off to the craft room now that the washing is done:)

Quiet Sunday

Well my two younger sons have had birthdays today and yesterday and they are now 52 and 46 and I can't believe it really. They are wonderful sons of whom I am very proud.
I have been trying to get my head around some cards but lost my mojo for a while. Today i have managed to make a couple-one for my sister in law Elaine and one for Stuart's ex mother in law who is a lovely lady too. Both of these lovely people have their birthdays on the 24th June.
I have also been doing a little painting. So will upload a couple of photos.


This is the start of a little Art Deco plate I am working on.

I found this little painting in an old sketch pad I have no idea how long ago I painted this but thought it was suitable for Elaine's card.

This is the one I made for Val-I love this paper.

Art was hit by a golf ball yesterday and here is a picture of the bruise. Some people playing golf today need to take heed of the rules. This guy didn't even call 'fore'!
                                                                           
                                                                                OUCH!!!


I thought I should put up a photo of my lovely tulip plate. This was after the third and final fire thought you would like a look Angela www.angelasargeant.com/
So it is back to the porcelain cupboard...


These others are my Dutch inspired paintings for the October Exhibition.


The little Dutch girls are at the framers now so they won't break...hopefully:)



I love this little one:)

 This is a small box sorry it is on it's side don't know how to fix once it is on her.



The girl with the pearl earring-Vermeer. This one needs more work-same as the oil which I still haven't finished. Oh well one day.
