Robin redbreast, original woodblock print
Glad you are feeling better Max, I havenāt been on the PC much this weekend either, too busy doing other things and stiching!
Lovely work everyone, will try to pop in tonight to catch up.
This is what I painted today.
6x4 inch Owl in hot wax. Hubby says (in fun) my fences always look like they need mending I think they are just rustic lol
Not listed yet Iām on my phone so hope you can see my picture ok
evening all, I forgot to mention our lotto syndicate won Ā£700 last week so I had a little wndfall of Ā£65, treated myself to some Rembrandt pastels (they were recommended by someone who uses them professionally!) just arrived in the ppost canāt wait to give them a whirl
loving the owl Hazel.
Your Robin and crocus print is fab Matt
love the new salt clingfilm style Brenda, very pretty
Very cross looking owl Hazel, I love the way youāve done the feathers.
Well done on the lottery win Max, enjoy your Rembrandt pastels!
Yes he is Margaret lol itās really hard to get the face right ā¦ I think heās a bit grumpy he had his face wiped off a couple off times !!!
Well done on the win Max - enjoy your pastels - nice to have a treat
Morning Everyone what are you up to today?
Whoās got some new art to show?
This thread needs some chat ā¦
Iāve had a new commission - a associate of hubbies has asked me to paint two of my silhouette style pieces to give as Christmas gifts ā¦ Iām not painting them today but soon
Iām off to run some errands and go to the post office, still no sales from folksy sadley !!!
Catch up with you all later
Hazel
This thread does need livening up a bit! Iāll see if I can photograph how Iām doing with my sewing and show you that. Iāve got several on the go at the moment.
Thatās great Margaret and yes we need livening up I think so too
Iāll show my Rainbow Tree of Life ACEO ā¦ is bright and colourful thats for sure
Morning ladiesā¦the sun is shining here today and the sea looks calmā¦maybe time to paint.
I will show one of the three that I painted yesterdayā¦
.
Brenda thatās wonderful, it really does look like itās snowing - thatās not easy to achieve!
Pretty tree Hazel.
Margaret itād be lovely to see your sewing progress.
Weāre on half term here so Iām out and about quite a bit. Iām starting to feel like I need to paint something though, not had the paints out since Friday! Iāve been rather headachy the last few days, hope I can shake it off soon, I donāt like taking meds but think Iāll have to have something to help get rid.
Meanwhile, Iāve launched a gift ideas pinned post on facebook, do please add any of yours to it here https://www.facebook.com/StephanieGuyFineArt/photos/a.140297826181352.1073741829.139499142927887/295353674009099/?type=1&theater
And Iāve finally got round to taking proper photos of my robins and have listed the first one
Stephie, that is lovelyā¦the eye is really brilliant tooā¦
the snow in my scene was just splattered but you have to use white gouache or acrylic or it doesnāt show up properlyā¦
I watched a Joanne Boon Thomas dvd at the weekend ā¦I love her workā¦and I nearly fell off my chair when I saw how cruel she was to her paint brushes !!! She almost squashes them into the paper.!! I think I must be far too gentleā¦lol
Love the snow scene Brenda
Fab robin Stephie and I have the gift idea on FB is nice - I have now commented again thank you
And Yay Iāve had a folksy sale
Nothing to do with folksy though, itās a miniaturist via facebook as I promoted my rose this morning and it sold. A lovely lady who helped us with lighting when we originally built my Gallery so that was nice
Congratulations on the sale, Hazel!
Waving to everyone!
Iām trying to work on loads of projects at the moment and donāt seem to be able to get onto the thread, paint, sew and knit simultaneously, so sorry that I have been absent recently!!
Hereās a new one from me, in a more contemporary styleā¦
A lovely painting Pam and a great idea for a Christmas ACEO
Great work Pamā¦I have been busy paintingā¦need to stock up with items to listā¦
I only have 32 reading and waitingā¦lolā¦
I have all these boxes full of paintings that are listed in different placesā¦plus large paintings in a portfolio case and smaller (big) ones in a file bookā¦ good job I am well organizedā¦(I think)
I started this thread a while ago ā¦
Please will you add your art ā¦
Thanks Hazel
@ClareSherwen @bluebeezy
@teabreaks @paperchainsandbeads @phoenixprojects @Coloursandtextures
@StephanieGuy @twinkleandgloomart @littleRamstudio @Rozcraftz
Thanks, Hazel! Have added my Christmas ACEO to your thread.
I wish I had loads of stock ready, Brenda! Iām hoping that Iāll have a bit more time next week and will be able to have a few little paintings to list by then. I donāt know where the time is going to at the moment!
This is a very Christmassy thread today! Love the snowy scene Brenda, the robin is fab Stephie and Pam, thatās a very pretty scene.
As promised, hereās how some of my needlework is getting on. Iām not showing my poppy tapestry today, it should be finished soon and Iāll show it then. Hereās my cat, getting some foliage and flowers around his head
Iām also doing a small long stitch piece which fits the Christmassy theme nicely
Progress on everything is slow with working and doing stuff for the parents, but I do love my stitching!
