Paintings 3 and 4...





Painting one is titled 'I'm no Princess' and Painting 2 is titled 'Pretty Pair'...
Well, I am officially behind, and if I can keep the pace up, might just scrape in with enough to cover the art shows I have entered!!
Tomorrow sees me dropping of a painting of Charlie titled 'Contemplation' to the Great Southern Portrait Prize.....

Painting number 2 for 2010...


Not absolutely sure about this one... It was going to be an acrylic like the Little moon lady, but I ended up getting carried away with the water colour, it was lots of fun...

I Love the little intricacies that water colour has, texture and movement that are only visible up close...

Any how... This painting is called "Not always as it seems" It is 12"x16" on paper mounted on board.

I painted this painting with the intention of conveying the message ,that sometimes things are not as they seem when looking at other peoples lives. Sometimes we make judgements that someones life looks grand , not aware of the real circumstances.

It would be lovely to live among the poppies, but maybe not....

Painting Number 1 , 2010






















I really REALLY want to paint 90 paintings by March.... I am aware that it is a HUGE amount of work, and I would need to paint a couple a day at least, to make it in time....


I don't really think it is achievable but i will be giving it a huge go!!


So.... this is painting number 1, ' Moon Lady' acrylic and watercolour on paper... 17 inches x 20 inches...

I have a little more to add to the painting... I was thinking of adding a frog, or another snail, but someone suggested toad stools, which i like also.... so there will be something added!!

The other photos ...







The photo's of the paintings from the other day didn't all come through...so here is take two!!



The three are all the same size and medium, and would look good as a trio, but also stand on their own!!
