Animal and Floral Painting

Hi there again!  So here are two more floral paintings, one with a bunny and another with a puppy and I was happy with how they turned out.  They are both painted with Gouache and Watercolour on Arches Hot Press paper and they are about 7 x 5 inches.  I am really having fun with the florals because I have really been able to loosen up and not worry about getting details correct. Although there are artists I admire who are much more loose with their painting and I would like to get to a point where I am not worrying about the painting being correct at all and just letting it come out of me and onto the page but I guess that will come with time.

I have another painting to share but I haven’t scanned it yet so I will show you next time😊

Beach Weather

Fish and Chips At Sunset

8” x 10”

The weather is slowly warming up now and we are almost into beach weather.  I got the idea for this painting a while ago.  Eating fish and chips at the beach as the sun goes down is such an iconic thing to do here and I just wanted to capture that in a painting.  Also there had to be animals, including the little Redcapped Plovers which I see a lot during winter, not so much in summer because there are people everywhere.

The Escape revisited

This is a drawing I posted earlier last year and I wasn't all that happy with it.  So I stored it away and only got it out again before Christmas last year and my Mum saw it and loved it and said I should take it up to the Gallery.  I decided that it needed extra work so I played around with it a bit until I was happy with it(you can see the earlier version of this in the post I made earlier last year).

My heart really goes out to all the people in the world feeling like the girl in this drawing at the moment.

I came up with this concept in 2011 and just felt inspired to complete it.  There are times when I've felt stuck in a bad place or found myself in a scary situation and sometimes a way out has presented itself almost like a miracle.  Obviously this doesn't happen all the time and doesn't happen for everyone but it's such a relief when it does.
