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

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.

PONTE VECCHIO

 I used pastel pencils on 8"x12" natural sienna Pastelmat
 for the ADNW February challenge. I was completely out
 of my comfort zone, but I persevered! I think architecture
 is not for me.
