Playing with my daughters pens.

I enjoyed playing with my daughters pens. Unfortunately the photograph doesn`t pick up the variety of colours and tones.

My husband has just odered me a new camera for my birthday, so hoefully when I get the hang of using that, I will be able to get some decent images of my artwork............that`s the theory, anyway.

We had a lovely day out last week, hubby and the girls were fishing, while I sat painting. It was lovely and sunny, and very peaceful. (mainly because the two youngest girls were in school, haha)

I am really enjoying working outdoors lately, and although I`ve still got a LOT to learn about painting outdoors, I am starting to feel a little but more confident, and I am beginning to see a bit of an improvement in my paintings...........but I still need alot more practice yet, so I`ll keep plugging away when the weather is dry.

Arches rough.

Jackson`s warm sepia, watercolour.

I might have posted this before, but I don`t think so, so appologies if I did post it earlier.

This is another painting in my warm sepia range of local scenes. I have really enjoyed working on this series, and I`m sure it will continue to grow, because a) I`m enjoying working on it so much and b) there are so many lovely scenes around here that it`s hard to know when to stop.

I will continue to "play" and "experiment" with my work.....so that I can continue to grow as an artist, and learn, learn, learn.

Still in sepia mode...............and loving it!!!!

I`ve been playing with the sepia paint again the last few weeks. They are going down a storm with people who view them.

I`m loving working in mono-tone. It`s not something I usually do, but because I`m enjoying it so much, and because the response is so favourable, I`ll keep on playing with it.

I`ve been booked to do a demonstration for an art group on the 6th of September....................I think I`ll have to order more paint supplies by then.

Anyway, here are the latest works done in Warm Sepia They are all painted on Arches rough watercolour paper, 140lb.he sizes are all 15x11"

Bamburgh Castle

Dunstanburgh Castle

Tynemouth Priory

Souter Lighthouse

All of the above scenes can be found along the North East coast. That is why I love living here.........there is so much inspiration on my doorstep.
