Mrs Frugal Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 (edited) These are a couple of paintings I did for a friend for his birthday. a few more watercolours, some coloured pencil work and some portraits drawn from photos in magazines. Dame Peggy Ashcroft sketched from a magazine and Jack Lemmon who has such a wonderful face! and this year's birthday present for my orchid loving friend Edited September 6, 2007 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cate in NZ Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I did find all my painting paraphernalia today when we were unpacking - but the only painting I'm doing is the staircase Lesley, I'm in the exact same boat as you.......... only difference is that I'm slapping cream emulsion around the porch, and I'm not even very good at that . I do so admire people like Kate who have a real talent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Clare! Well, when I moved up here, I kept it for a while, then realised that as a single parent there wouldn't be any time to do art work, so I donated it all to the local art college. I've still got a couple of pieces of work somewhere and my folks have a couple of pieces on their walls. *shrugs* I'd love to do it again... one day maybe. I'd like to teach too. I paint a great nude - any volunteers for modelling???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Frugal Posted August 16, 2007 Author Share Posted August 16, 2007 I haven't tried chicken pictures yet. I will do soon though as I'm forever taking photos of the girls so have plenty of material to use . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubereglu Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I like watercolour painting-just because I'm too impatient to wait for similar paints to dry. I mostly paint chickens as most of you know and think it's great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
