Hello Art peeps - just popping in to see how you all are? I hope you have eaten far too much chocolate and had a relaxing Easter break. I have finished my current commissions and have a bit of time before I need to start on the next one … what to paint though? I should do something for the local flower shop that displays my work. What have you found are the most popular flower subjects?
Lovely to catch up

Hi Gaynor, I was wondering how you were doing 
I find the hardest part of painting is deciding what to paint next. Poppies are always popular, and roses too of course.
Two of my favourites to paint that’s for sure Margaret 
and lavender and tulips … The list goes on and on …
All the best with your flowers Gaynor, waving Max and Brenda. It is quiet in here isn’t it. I’ve been painting miniatures early today and just back from the hairdressers now.
Until Kelly gets the hang of folksy, I am sharing these two love encaustic greetings cards that she has just listed in her shop…

Fab butterfly Matt, I’ve seen a few of these flitting around the garden in the last few days.
Lovely flowers Brenda.
Great work Matt…Spring at last…
Waving Margaret.
afternoon everyone, managed to slope off early, but spent a very long day at the computer so not stopping here long, just to say lovely work today and wave a special hi to Kelly 
I will tell Kelly…I am sure she will join us on here soon…right now she is busy making stock…
She is waving back to you Max…
It’s feeling very Spring like in here - lovely!

it is lovely here too…which is just as well as the front door is wide open for the day while the gas board fit a new boiler…no heating and no hot water today ! So no reason why I chose to list a cold snowy scene…??
.
Morning! Dropping in to say hi and admire all the lovely work.
Hope the boiler fitting goes well Brenda. Waves to Kelly.
Margaret and Max are you keeping photo diaries of your gardens?
Matt I have a hankering to paint butterflies too, yours is lovely.
Max your prints in coasters are STUNNING!
I’m having a busy week decorating and visiting relatives, the only painting I have done (apart from the living room) is a pet portrait and a quick sepia sketch. Hopefully normality will return at some point next week as I need to get on with the next miniature mag article.
boiler fitting going ok, though nearly had a fit when the engineer wanted to turn the electrics off when I was in the middle of listing…aaargh…
Anyway , back on again now and adding to the butterflies today…my second listing…
.
Lovely work Brenda,
Stephie, interesting idea, decorating the neighbours 
Hope you get some painting time soon!
I had a wonderful walk at lunchtime, it’s glorious out there!
Hallo every body! beautiful art on here whenever I log in
Question : how can I link my face book page to folksy please
Can’t see any info about doing this!
I know one of you gals will know the answer
Just re-launched my bluebeezy shop and filling it with baby booties
So the painting is in the background for now…not forgotten!! J x
P S
Just found out all by myself…now have the link to my f b page
The new boiler is IN…and I am boiling…we had to have the central heating on for the last two hours…aaargh. At least it is finished so he doesn’t have to come back tomorrow.
On a good note, I painted 5 aceos and one greetings card…will take photos tomorrow
waving Jeanie and Margaret
Haha that’s funny Brenda! It’s supposed to go cold again this weekend so at least you’ll be warm then.
Hello and waving to all
I am very slowly getting the hang of Folksy. I am surprising mum in getting the hang of it a lot quicker than she thought I could! lol
I will be showing more of my encaustic art paintings tomorrow. Have a great evening everyone.
Fabulous work from all
