Forest

-

This is a painting that is almost finished. I painted it on an old tatty piece of wood. There was something magnetic about the piece of wood that drew me to want to paint it!
I'm not sure what to do to it next, I'll look at it tomorrow and see what I think about it then.

It's quite small so I managed to scan it in 2 halves and stitch it back together in Photoshop. I've got another one I've almost finished too and if the day is light enough, I'll take a photo to show it here.
I think the red tree is me.

Thank you so much! It's difficult to be objective about paintings that you've just finished isn't it? Thanks so much for your kind comments, it'll spur me on today :)

I love the depth you got in this one Jessie, the shimmering light beautiful color balance too. I do like you way of painting.
Got that thing with paintings too, the need to put them aside do something else and come back to them later with a cleared mind.
Beautiful work! x renilde

I've been thinking about why I'm drawing cottages lately.  Maybe it's because there aren't many people around where we live and on our daily walks we rarely come across anyone else which I suppose is a good thing as we're still in Lockdown and have to practice Social Distancing which has now become a very well used phrase in our language! Maybe it's this lack of seeing people around that my mind is turning towards houses and flowers? The ones above are done in ink. I love the pearlescent inks, they're so beautiful when they catch the light. The paintings above and below are painted in acrylic. I've been obsessed with watercolour for a few weeks but I felt I'd like to get some acrylics out again. I've always been like this, going through phases of being obsessed with a particular medium thinking yes this is it! This is my final medium and then finding myself being drawn to changing once again to a different way of wor...
