Good morning! Loving the colours and the shimmering surface of the water. I’ve been trying to finish a series of British mammals aceos, but the light has been so bad over the weekend. The daylight bulb keeps drying the paint up and I think it’s giving me a scalp suntan too! But, I’ve just notice the sun coming up…so fingers crossed! Love to see all the fabulous artwork and will check back later to see some more!

morning ladies…don;t like the dark mornings (and days) …makes it difficult to see to paint…Hubby bought me a new art dvd yesterday so I was glued to the tv for a couple of hours…now I need to paint…bring on the sunshine !! In the mean time I just crochet as I can do that without looking and I KNOW what colour it is…
Lovely work on here.
welcome to any newbies…join in and chat…as Max said…we are a friendly lot and would love to see your work.

Lovely scene Max, love the rock formations in the foreground.

Serena, I look forward to seeing your mammals ACEOs :smile:

Hi Brenda, hope you enjoy your painting/crocheting.

I’m still doing battle at work, but one of the more senior people, a woman I’ve know for many years, actually gave me a hug this morning, told me I’m valued and she was sorry I’d been upset. Things are looking up. Also, the mandatory procedure I’m refusing to follow is going to be reworded to make it more acceptable. I do find all this exhausting though!

Evening all, that’s good to hear Margaret, it sounds more positive for you now. I know what you mean about the lamps Serena, I was taking pictures earlier under my light box and it got very warm!

Ah big hugs Margaret, I hope things improve for you soon.

Serena I’ve put a “daylight” led lamp on my Xmas list, I hope Santa brings me one!

I’ve just put my first video on youtube, it’s a silent movie of my latest pebeo robin

Good morning waving hi to everyone :wave:. Brave Lady Stephie, and tile looks great! :smile:

just listed the first of my new ‘Scrap & Colour’ sets. So far I have done 7 designs but will be doing more, made a few books up yesterday and plan to list just a pack of the cards on their own, see how they go

I love that Max, it’s so pretty.

I’m working on a pet portrait this morning, a very cute black and white cat.

There’s an artist sketching her way through woman’s hour right now, they’re tweeting her work here https://twitter.com/BBCWomansHour She’s a comic/graphic designer, it’s interesting to see her sketches so far.

Morning all, I have spent over 24 hours trying to find a plumber…none of them ring back despite messages left saying that we have a leak and wet floor…aaargh. In the end, I had to phone one of the expensive guys…and I have had to pay in advance…£100 plus parts and they haven’t even seen it yet !!..just a leaky joint from the toilet pipe…but at least they are coming today…
Why can’t these people have the good manners to respond?
So again, no painting…grrr…never mind, I have been doing some crochet , which I can pick up and put down at a moment’s notice.
I hope to be back later with a listing…
Hope you all stay safe from the storms…not too bad here just constant rain.

Fingers crossed Santa takes the hint! they are brilliant for these dull days, I just think I angle mine too close to the top of my head sometimes! When I work out how to put a photo on here I’ll post my otter…is it the upload button? (hate pressing things in case something unexpected happens!)

Hi Serena yes if you click on the top selection in the upload one if the picture is on your own device or the bottom section if it’s on folksy, in your shop :slight_smile:

Looking forward to seeing your otter TwibellArts…

That’s annoying Brenda :confused:

Thought you might all like to see this commission that I painted over the summer. I can only just show it now as it was bought as a wedding gift

Wow Stephie that’s absolutely stunning!

Ouch Brenda, that’s a lot of money!

I know Margaret, what a rip off but as we had dripping water, it had to be done and these plumbers know it. They know that you cannot say no or shop around for a better deal.
I have just listed this fantasy aceo.

Absolutely amazing piece @StephanieGuy. I imagine the receivers where over the moon with that :slight_smile:
Your video is great too. Always nice to see work come together like that.

Love you book Max :smile:
