Do you have any goals for your painting?
yes, to improve my observation and correct use of colour and of course my painting skills.....To get back to basics...........and most of all enjoy it!!
I have a lot of catching up to do and will welcome your help when I show my inability with acrylics and brushes. Also I like Bath, having spent a short time there getting the hydra treatment to cure some pain, which it did. Once again ,Love your work,
Great to get in touch Pauline, hope you'll agree to my request.
Doubt if I'll make it to Bath again, but do you know a friend of mine who lives there, Peter Hendy? Recently knighted and commissioner for London's traffic.
Great news Pauline, you've made me a happy bunny, and I'm not out of bed yet.
The water treatment in Bath is amazing, if you don't know about it, I suggest you go along and get a brochure. The Olympic team should get this just before they compete.
Looking forward to seeing more of your work and to future developments.
As we say in Ireland, TOP OF THE MORNING TO YOU.
Trevor.
PS, GETTING UP NOW!
Pauline, I alway appreciate your keen observation and sincere suggestion with warm encouragement. And most of all your care. I love your work very much too.
Thanks Pauline glad to be your friend..As you say not many of us on this side!
Painting is what you want it to be..sometimes it goes incredibly well and other times really, really badly........Once you get a hand on the rudimentals ( and you have) the rest is easy!! Perseverance is the key word!! ...........and I'm sure you have lots of that.
I love the variety, styles and colours in your work..very refreshing!
I do value that encouraging comment Pauline - thankyou! Have just looked at your photos - I am in awe of your spontaneity! Your work is full of life!! I am so enjoying being part of such an inspiring community as this as I had lost a lot of motivation and direction with my painting.
Polly it's me from Culdrose long time no hear hope you ok I had to join the site to be able to find you Hope you remember me. Please get in touch I am on Facebook but if you want leave me a message on here would love to hear from you xxxxxxruth xxxxx
Thank you Pauline, that's so kind of you. I'm excited about painting as I have recently devoted more time to it. It's so precious to be able to travel too and find beautify subjects all over the world. I love bath and definitely will go again one day. Your work is lovely..especially Waipu.
Pauline, You are better than you might imagine. In fact, I love amost every one of your work. For me, you are an excellent artist. I appreciate your passion and attitude toward your works apart from your advanced technics. Thank YOU to share them with us.
Thank you Pauline. Your works definitely stir emotion. Its nice to look at art and can sense that place and feel like you are apart of that piece. I am definitely a fan of your work.
Pauline, I love your paintings. Your woods theme works really encourages me to do my wone ones. I have taken a lot of photos of trees but never be brave enough to paint them as I do not know how to do it. Rember that your baby cat made me excited and drived me paint my first cat painting? I will try paint trees and wood too. Thanks YOU, Pauline, for encourage me and inspire me.
Thanks Pauline. I am fine and will be more active here the coming months. I've been up skiing in the Sierras over the holiday weekend (Presidents' Day) and will go out plein air painting up here tomorrow. If the painting turns out well, I'll post it in the gallery. Nice to hear from you. I like your " Forest" series. Stu
Me too! Thanks Pauline. I'm looking forward to getting more active on this site; I just needed a break. My plein air painting of Lake Tahoe turned out well; I'll post it along with some other recent plein air paintings when I get back home in a couple of days. Stu
Thanks Pauline. I am using a limited 3 primary palette with already mixed grays in 4 values. This seems to work well for me in my alla prima outdoor painting. I'm gearing up for a 12 long plein air festival this June; I have never done anything even close to that extensive a competition before. You will see me post a whole lot more plein air work here the next few months. Stu
Thanks, Polly for taking the time to look at my work. I attend a life class once
a week.My teacher also runs blocks of oil painting sessions and I go when time permits.
I enjoy getting lost in a project.
Thank you Pauline. I'm glad you like them and hope you'll find time to paint one of my photos one day. Or even 2!! :) Oo! Look at your gorgeous paintings! Wow! I'll have to take a closer look. Ro x
Hello Pauline, Thank you for your nice comment on my rainbow trout! This was my first fish, scratch art is great for animals with fur, but a challenge for me doing a fish. I hope your trout is exceptionally good tonight! :) I visited your fair community this past Sept and enjoyed myself as a tourist! Waiting for our bus after touring the Roman Baths, I struck up a conversation with a young man selling his works of art. I purchased a drawing for the church, an exceptionally done piece. We chatted and he pointed out the "sham" castle up on the hill at the end of the valley.. The story was quite amusing. Enjoy your trout and keep on doing your lovely art work.. Chuck :) XX
Hi Polly, I'm glad your trout was delicious! I have fished for trout many time in the lakes, streams and rivers of Arizona, Utah, Montana, Wyoming and Alaska! Fresh right out of a cold mountain stream, delicious! It would have been a delight to have been able to meet you while in Bathe. I did meet 5 artists when the guided trip was over, it ended at Stratford upon Avon, we rented a car and drove south to Brighton and spent 7 days driving along staying in B and B's. Met an artist about 20-30 miles from Brighton in a small village named Goudhurst, her name is Jenny Dalleywater and she is an excellent scratch artist. She infected me with the 'itch' and now I'm scratching all the time.. I hope you are having a great week.. Are you aware of the site paintmyphoto.ning.com It's a great place to look for subject matter. It's free and last time I checked they had over 119,000 photos posted... Check it out.. I'm there too.. Chuck :) XX
Hi Polly, So glad you like my Springtime Fawn! These smaller works (5"x7") are becoming easier and quicker with the more I do. I'm learning with each new work and that makes doing them more rapidly. Also, if it's not a commissioned pet portrait I have a bit more artistic license, where as with a commissioned work, takes more time to get the pets personality down just right. Also, being retired I can work on my pieces as long as I want and I have the benefit of a wife who loves my artistic efforts and so, I don't have laundry, cooking (except BBQ), etc.. I do wash the dishes, dual purpose for me, makes me look like I'm helping and also gets any grease of my hands.. :) Chuck :) XX
Hi Polly, I've been doing scratch since Oct of last year. I have just fallen in love with the medium. I was a watercolorist and still use w/c's to color my scratch pieces.. I am delighted that you like my efforts.. Chuck :) XX
Pauline, thank you very much for you visiting my website and wonderful encouragement! I have the page since last April the first time Ann, Stu and I was painting together in an event that needs a business card. I have to have something on my business card that is website. I am very happy to have it so I can have all my images in one place. Thank you again Pauline!
