CHRYSANTHEMUMS

24" x 16"

I painted this beautiful autumn bouquet in gouache on an acrylic ground. I have discovered that if I spray fixative between the layers I don't have a problem with the paint lifting when I add more colour.

PINK ORCHIDS

Gouache on paper
Painted for the October Paint and Draw Challenge.

Cow in Swiss Alps

Gouache on paper.

I found a lot of my tubes of paint had gone hard!

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.

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.
