Fiddle


This is my painting for yesterday ........unfinished again!
Tonight I will be trying to either finish the dog or the puffin ....so although it will not be a new painting I will be showing tomorrow it will hopefully look better than the first time I showed it! ......here's hoping anyway!

Puffin


Still unfinished so any advice would be appreciated.

Pencil sketch on paper. I have started the painting, on a 5"x7" canvas board. I messed up the head of the bed, had to scrape off the paint, seeing as I tried to fix it by over-painting it. White on black!! Needed a lot of white paint.. I will have another go at it tomorrow. The drawing took me quite awhile to do, the perspective is a bitch..

This is my bed..

I had actually started this before today..but it had a long way to go. So, because I didn't want to waste the beginnings and because it still fitted the criteria of small paintings ..I decided to finish it and use it.

Getting out of a painting rut!


I usually try to paint Marine but am in a rut at the moment so this is a little practice piece I did last night ..... how much further away could I get from Marine!! ....well maybe she is getting ready to go for a swim ....who knows!

Metal Statuette



I had a "fiddle" and painted out the base. Here is where it stands. Using that term loosely as it is actually floating.. Maybe I will leave it, maybe not.. What do you think?


I have had this statue sitting on the entertainment unit for years. I bought it as a gift for a girlfriend for her birthday one year, and for some reason didn't end up giving it to her. I love it, so I don't mind that I still have it.. Acyrylic on canvas board 5"x7"

Painting is not quite as dark as showing here..
