Art Chat - June

Fab whale J

I love windmills too, though there are few up here in Cheshire! Nice pic Trevor

Poor Brenda, hope the pain goes away very soon, I didn’t see the Auction House, can’t understand why a print would sell for so much when as you say, the work on here is much lovelier :smile:

Stephie, best wishes for Kit and her exams, hope she feels well enough to give her best.

good luck Max with your presentations, rather you than me I’d be terrified to do anything like that

Is anyone watching Springwatch this week? The piece about the tawny owl nest on the River Weaver in Cheshire is about a place less than a mile from where I live and which I know well. Very interesting to see pics of our local river on the telly!

Hi Margaret! Yes we’ve been watching Springwatch too. Compulsive viewing in our house. Sad to see one of the owl chicks didn’t make it. Such a beautiful location to live near to!

Good morning all, sadly no Springwatch in this house, I rarely watch television and it isn’t required viewing for the others here… Now, if there were a couple of the sat of Eastenders in it, they’d watch it…

I’ll be listing a few bits today over the course of the day, here’s the first of them:

We have been out to lunch…(once I get going the back is ok…)
Beautiful scenery up the valleys, so much inspiration for painting…lakes, waterfalls, mountains…lovely.
Had lunch at the Angel Inn which at the entrance to beautiful wooded walks and lovely falls…the food was good too !
My listing for today

Good morning, love the scene Trevor. Springwatch is a must here too, I can’t believe it’s been on 3 weeks already and finishes tomorrow!

Beautiful ladscape Brenda, I have often passed the Angel Inn on the motorway and wondered what it was like, must pay a visit one day :).

Have a lovely day everyone, back later :slight_smile:

lovely work Trevor and Brenda.

Last night on Springwatch they showed pictures of Hunts Lock, which is literally a five minute walk from me! So strange to see such familiar places on the TV :smile:

morning all…
Margaret, they are getting closer…we will be seeing YOU on tv next !!
It was lovely sitting outside the Angel Inn, close to fast running water and beautiful woodland yesterday !
I have a larger acrylic painting to show this morning…a 10" x 12" woodland scene. I love woodland and love sitting in the shade of trees on a hot day…especially near to waterfalls.

Morning all, lots of reading to catch up on. Waves @ new faces, ‘old’ faces and others from other threads.
Have fun in the jacuzzi Brenda and hope you feel better soon. There’s one where I go swimming and a steam room. I go in the steam room after a swim tho usually in the winter,

I have done part 2 on my blog about using tissue paper in paintings for texture. Anyone up for having a go? I’d love to see what you do.
There may be a part 3.

Good morning all from a slightly overcast Medway valley, but I’m hopeful of some sun later… no new listings yet today, been busy working on my other websites, rejigging and adding an extra variant of service - surprising how long a little update can take… next job is to get my head round Google pay per click, so I should see you some time next month… :confused:

Have fun…!

Flying by to show you this adorable arrangement of three of my recent pet portraits, framed by the customer. Isn’t it wonderful?

I’m sorry I don’t have time to stop and chat, things are rather fraught around here.

They look superb Stephie, hope things become less fraught for you soon!

Good morning, they look fabulous Stephie! I’m hoping to get to Art Society this evening due to work and other stuff have not been able to go for last 5 weeks am missing painting and chatting!

Love the canvas Brenda, really effective. I may have a go Tessa @Coloursandtextures, now that the garden is finished I will hopefully get more time to paint and create :slight_smile: off to check out your blog now.

have a lovely day everyone, and I hope things calm soon for you all Stephie

Hello everyone

Lovely art on show in here as always, lovely pet portraits Stephie.

I’ve been very busy, now finished my commissions and had lots of sales which is great, lots of new projects planned too although having a nasty cold had been frustrating !!! I’m still not selling much on folksy and I can’t find where it says when my plus account expires - any idea where that is in my account settings anyone?

I know lots of people have vast followings on Facebook but I made it to a little milestone last night Art In Wax FB page www.facebook.com/artinwax made the 500 like Mark! … The1st comment I had when I posted about it says “Let’s make it 1000” - I like there thinking :slight_smile:

Hope you all have a good day.

Hazel

Hi Everyone,

I’m a defiant Spring watch fan, still catching up with the recording since i’ve been away…still got the all the Chelsea Flower show to watch yet too! :smile:

Love the Sennen Picture Trevor @Century21Art
Hope the stress calms for you soon Steph, lovely pet portraits @StephanieGuy
Good luck with the presentations Max @paperchainsandbeads …i know what it’s like use to have to write lots for my old jobs.
Hope the back doing better Brenda @teabreaks hmmm like the soaking in the jacuzzi idea, must talk hubby into getting one…for medicinal purposes of course :wink: Love your woodland scenes!
Well done on the sales & making the 500 mark on FB Hazel @HazelRayfield, i’ll pop over & give you a like too…i haven’t even made my 100 mark yet, since the changes my reach is awful but he ho it’ll eventually get there.

I’m digitally prepping all 28 new images for the mugs, going a wee bit bossed eyed :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: but just realized i’m short a few for my bulk order so wondered about doing a few with just my flower hearts for those that don’t want cute squirrels… what do you guys think???

Have a fab day everyone

…I went to the post office to get some airmail stickers and was told that we no longer need them !! I asked if we need to write AIR MAIL on the envelope and she said that as far as she knew, it was no longer necessary as all mail went airmail these days!
