My other love - apart from knitting

whywhywhy - I think it looks very attractive, its not about the winning, just your own personal satisfaction at a job well done. Me - well I shall just stick to my knitting!

Thank you. I enjoy the painting and love the taking part.

That's lovely! I used to do watercolours, following the Anna Mason website. She's a brilliant artist. I don't do it now (sticking with my leatherwork at present) but will maybe join again later.

Beautiful

Oh my goodness - how talented are you?

I enlarged this to look at it properly and I am amazed at your talent!

Amazing. Really.
?

That's beautiful whywhy, really lovely - how talented you are.

Here is one of my watercolours . It is of a place called Newton Ferrers in Cornwall and
Hope this works I've never done it before.

Nannabilly, your painting is fantastic. You are so talented. Keep up the good work. X

Thank you everyone for your kind words. I find painting very calming and relaxing.x

I seem to have a post missing .
I posted one saying how lovely your poppies are whywhywhy and that painting was calming and relaxing and the reason why I stopped painting but it's got lost in cyber space somewhere . Don't want whywhywhy thinking I'd just hijacked the thread without saying how lovely the poppies are.
Do you paint a lot . Are you in an art group?

Your poppies are beautiful! I’m sorry you didn’t win because you’ve painted a lovely picture!

Keep going!

Nannabilly, I paint more now that I've retired. Also I go to a painting group, once per week. X

That is really beautiful!
I can't draw or paint for toffee so a mite envious of anyone who can.

beautiful painting by both people.How i wish i could paint like that.Only last week i got a book from the library which gives step by step instructions on painting flowers so i am aiming to have a go , when i can find time.

When you have finished your painting, you must let us have a peep, so give it a go travelsafar.

Thank you for sharing your hobby - it's a really love painting.
I used to attend painting classes, along with 4 others last year. We had a tutor who taught at Goldsmiths.
After a few weeks I decide to join a garden club and gave up painting as I was never very good at it but I did buy a flower painting done by one of the others and had it framed.
It's extra special as it was painted by a friend.
Where I live, some coffee shops have the work of local artists and potters displayed and they are all for sale.
Do you have any places where you can display your work alongside others?
I hope to see more of your work on here.

Sorry. Should be lovely painting, not love.

whywhy and nanabilly .....what talent ?

Nannabilly
Wow!!
You are really talented. More please.

whywhywhy and nanabilly - lovely paintings, you must be very pleased with your efforts.
yes, I have done painting in the past but not anything as good as those.

ps not niggling, but isn't Newton Ferrers in Devon, not Cornwall? It could have moved since we lived near there of course
Just in case anyone was inspired to visit there after seeing your painting
