I’m sorry to hear your husband needs care- I imagine painting is great relaxation for you then. My son has been ill and at home for the last two years and I know my hours counting crochet stitches are my best diversion!

Hello everyone, some lovely artwork you have! Thanks to Brenda for reaching out. I am brand new on Folksy, I am an artist who loves to create fantasy paintings. I would love to hear your feedback anytime on my work. I hopefully have successfully attached some images of my work…Happy Sunday, Jennifer Hadfield Art

Best wishes, Jennifer

Hello everyone. I hope you all had a nice time over the Christmas/New year period.
There are so many posts here already- it’s good to see evryone getting back into it already
January is usually a bit of a difficult month for me Artwise- but last year was so positive in terms of sales/platforms that I was really excited to get back into it.

I spent about a week sorting out my studio, chucking out loads of hoarded clutter etc. Under my desks where so full of junk that I couldn’t even sit and put my legs under the table, so I fixed that because my back was really suffering after studio sessions. Anyway, it’s nice and organised now and I had my first proper day of painting/drawing this year.

Here’s my first finished piece :slight_smile:

Well done Graham that is great news and well deserved…onwards and upwards for more now then…
today I have painted 6 aceos (Graham, if you don’t know, these are miniature paintings that must measures 2.5" x 3.5")…they will all get listed one at a time…
here is a sample aceo that I did a few days ago…this picture makes it look a bit distorted and the painting itself is only a fraction of that size…lol

That’s really lovely Brenda. Very dainty <3 As always it reminds me of beautiful Disney Artwork.
I think Walt would have hired you for landscape backgrounds :smiley:

Here are some of my recent pieces.
This Merm’ was a bit of fun, but I like her.

Hello everyone…I do hope you’re having a lovely week…I wanted to share my latest piece, I really did get lost in my won little world painting this! Some beautiful artworks on this chat/tread…Folksy really is a nifty little place :smile: Have a lovely evening, Jennifer

Great work Jennifer and Lowri…
not looking forward to any bad weather today…we live high up and driving can be dangerous…right now it is raining, so hopefully the roads will stay wet enough for any white stuff to melt on contact…
Today I have listed a mixed media floral aceo…
