OLD BARN 2





Oil on prepared MDF
15.5" x 9.5"


 This picture was painted for the A Day Not Wasted June challenge, but I missed the deadline and posted a pen and ink sketch instead. This is my first painting in oils. It took a bit of getting used to from the drying point of view, but otherwise I quite enjoyed painting it.

THE OLD BARN


0.4 black gel pen on white paper
6"x 8"

I sketched this painting in pen for my husband's birthday card. I have posted it on the A Day Not Wasted  June challenge. I have also started to paint it in oils, for the colours are great.  

THE BLUE DOOR



Soft pastel and pastel pencil on white Colourfix paper.
16"x 23"

Lee Brown ( A Day Not Wasted ) is a superb photographer, and he kindly gave me permission to create this painting from a photo he took in France, I believe during a trip to Europe last year.
