That’s very effective Hazel, very pretty indeed!

Thank you Margaret, I have a Tryptic style landscape in my miniature Gallery and thought I would try out a couple more - I think they are more of a doll house art item, than a miniature collectible don’t you? as they need to be wall mounted for the effect I think

I’ve added this mermaid
Off to visit my Nan now, be back later.

Yes, I would agree, they’d need to be displayed in the correct sort of place, but would look stunning in a dolls house.

It’s a bit cooler here too, though not raining as the forecast predicted. At lunchtime I got chased by a herd of young cows so had to run faster than I ever usually do! Glad to sit down in a nice quiet office for the afternoon…

Hello all!
Finally catching up after my two weeks in America! Had a brilliant time visiting relatives in Atlanta and then travelling through the Smoky mountains. Even got to see a black bear in the wild so there may be a few new animal paintings coming soon! Still struggling with jetlag at the moment but gradually listing some new stuff.
Heres my Steampunk Elephant linocut print.

It did Max, they pretended to ignore me then started running in a big curve coming over the edge of the bank in a stampede towards me, as if they were trying to cut me off from the gate! Won’t be walking through that field again for a while!
Great to see you here again Clare, glad you had such a good holiday

Welcome back Clare.
Margaret what an eventful lunchtime! A few years back while I was having a second look found Monet’s garden Mr C went off for a walk and found himself in a field with a bull.
This is the first of 2 blog posts about the desert collection paints that I was using in the Algarve

Wouldn’t like to meet a bull that’s for certain!
Very interesting blog, look forward to the second one. At the moment I think I made a mistake buying the desert collection, but maybe I just haven’t tried hard enough!

Beautiful poppies Hazel. I never know with triptychs whether to leave a space in the composition between each painting or whether to keep going as you have done Hazel. I need to decide soon as I think I have a huge 20 inch square x 3 triptych commission coming in.
Waving Clare, welcome back to you and your steampunk friends. Fab work
Yikes Margaret, I’m glad you survived your encounter!

Evening all, just chilling waiting for spring watch. Interesting blog Tessa, I love the blue and orange together perfect for dessert and seascapes I should think. Ooh how exciting Stephie, look forward to seeing that commission

Max I’m really not sure how I’m going to work on them all at the same time…it will be a challenge! Might need to borrow a couple of easels from my art club friends.
