WA - City Street

The brief was to continue from last week, so I did. I didn't like this but, with more work I have changed my mind. There is a sombre air about it that suggests it doesn't like what it has seen!

 

I offered to post others' work and had three takers............

 

Judith.....it will be delightful when finished, as usual!

 

Veronica.......I love the full frontal viewpoint, it grabs your attention.

 

June......AAAWWWWW! What else can you say when he looks at you like that!

Finished, framed and gone.......next!

This is a commission.....a birthday pressie, I think. Anyway, so far so good....except, as usual, I do wish I had been doing the background along with the dog!

Waiting 12" x 10" Oil

Some refining of shapes to do, but you get the idea?

WA, aka Wednesday Afternooners, aka West Winch Art Club

The topic for today was 'paint or draw and animal'.

Skyline  14" x 18"  Oil

I have long wanted to paint these bulls, who live in a field near me. I am drawn to their silhouettes as they meander along the ridge of the hill, but have yet to get the perfect shot.

Not many folk wanted to show off their work today but Jacqui was quite rightly very proud of her giraffe. He is so cute!

June has portrayed this little dog so sensitively with pastels. Brilliant colour choices, including the paper, which sets off the drawing to perfection. That look in his eye is so emotive. 

I admire Davids use of watercolour in painting this crab. No washes for him, just pure colour, which is how I have been trying to pluck up courage to use it, so it was very interesting to watch.

Sharing Again 16" x 20" Oil

The good news is that I sold two paintings at the Hertford exhibition! One lady was so enamoured of 'Sharing', and so disappointed it was sold, that she tentatively asked if I would paint it again for her. Well, of course I would!
