Look forward to seeing the finished results.  You've put me in the mood to create some more art for the balcony.

Have taken big chunks of artistic license with my vatersey beach scene, removing a horrible metal fence and transplanting a woman onto the beach.

 

hopefully only a week or two from finishing

Ha ha - the power.  Could have been a mermaid.

that's an idea Pat, I'm rubbish at legs but could easily do a fish tail :-)

Have a go. :-)

Here's my latest effort

Post card perfect. Well done.

I like sunny scenes

Samscafe, you won't be seeing many sunny subjects these rainy days but hope you are still painting.  I've ordered some wool as it will soon be hat-crocheting season.

Hi Pat 

 

am now working on a sunny Italian beach scene.  Loads of buildings with windows, might have bitten off more than i can chew, time will tell

[Pat 0]

Sounds challenging.  I'm off to Tuscany soon. No beaches in the itinerary.  

[samscafeamericain 0]

I officially hate windows 

[Pat 0]

So any progress?

[samscafeamericain 0]

ploughing on but these bloody windows are proving a right challenge. must have painted and repainted and still not happy or anywhere near finished.   I need a beautiful muse and 4 gallon of red wine

Now don't think you'll often see those two subjects on the same page. Look forward to seeing more of your work, samsamerican.

[samscafeamericain 0]

still ploughing on but this one might have me beaten

 

time to fall back on 'eh its an impressionist interpretation'

Your an artist – you have licence.

That is absolutely gorgeous, samsc.  Very well done.  Love the colours. Love the reflections in the water.
