Kelly, do you have a Facebook page that I can follow? A lot of artists do, just wondered if you have a page.

Hi Margaret, I am getting to grips with everything at the minute, I do have a Facebook/twitter just all under refurbishment, as such.

I will post as son as sorted, thanks for your interest, it’s lovely to get back involved!!

“What a good idea, what theme shall the challenge have, anyone any suggestions?”

I don’t know Margaret, what about a colour or a still life maybe ? Fruit ?
Anyone got a better idea? I’m struggling :slight_smile:

Hi Kelly lovely birds :slight_smile:

I like action too :slight_smile: and as we know I love colour lol

OK so what about we pick a colour and any thing goes … Shall we say a limited palette too … Main feature colour and 2 others only ?

What colour?

Limited palette is good, and I’m thinking it’s coming to autumn, so what about autumn colours?

Love autumn colours !

Maybe we could choose an autumnal colour and paint something with a limited palette using our chosen colour?

Morning all, that sounds fun! count me in. I had a ball up at Brenda’s with Su and Kelly too, got the bug for mixed media and journalling now lol! I should know better last time I visited I got hooked on wax lol!. I have several set’s of these on my make list and am planning a lovely long bank holiday weekend of crafting.

Dad’s supposed to be coming home today, I’m both relieved and nervous for both of them, I can’t believe he’s been in hospital for well over 3 months, so I’m hoping things go smoothly for them both today and he settles quickly.

They are gorgeous Max, hope it all goes well for your Dad today

Great work max and I hope your Dad is OK :slight_smile:

Morning Margaret :smile:

So about the challenge Autumn colours it is :slight_smile: Golden yellow as a the main colour maybe and then a limited palette of our choice …

I have just listed my two new ACEO’s I have painted this style large at A% and A4 and tiny for dolls house so i thought I should add an ACEO to the collection …

Hello everyone. Just popping in. I’m busy with commissions at the moment - the Aston and a new one, an E-type Jag. Both are for surprise Christmas presents so I won’t be able to show them for months yet :frowning: I’m hoping to frame some more of my insects as sets though so will put them in the shop once I find the right vintage frames. Hope all is going well for you.

Have a good day

Fab poppies Hazel, I’ll have to have a think about what to paint for the challenge, and whether or not it might end up as an abstract! :smile:

Morning Gaynor, good luck with those commissions and I look forward to seeing more of your insects.

Morning everyone,

I am excited about the challenge, will have to have a think!!

Lovely items so far! @HazelRayfield love the ACEOs!

Mine for this morning,

Morning, all!
Good to hear that your Dad is almost home, Max.
Super work on here already this morning.
Can I join in the Autumn challenge, too? When do we need to get it done by? :slight_smile:

That’s very pretty Kelly.

Anyone can join the challenge Pam, the more the merrier. We don’t have an end date, it’s whenever anyone has the time to do it, it’s just for fun and to inspire us to try something a bit different :smile:

Oooh another challenge, sounds good. Autumn colours sounds good to me, and a limited palette sounds good too. Golden yellow will be a real challenge, especially if we’re talking about a true limited palette with literally only 3 colours - let’s do it!

Max the matching coaster and ACEO are lovely and a great idea for gifts. Good luck with your dad, I hope it goes smoothly for them (and you).

Hi Gaynor, enjoy those car commissions!

I painted this in brusho yesterday, it’s from a photo by Beverley on PMP

That’s fab Stephie, love that one!

So it has to be just three colours, and include golden yellow. I’ll have to have a think about that :smile:
