Hi, am feeling so pleased with myself as have completed 2 of my Works in Progress.....woo hoo. Am sure I could do more to them but am leaving well alone at the moment in case I ruin them.........
This is the Lady asleep in the Deckchair (my Art Class Homework) in Acrylics. Nowhere near perfect but feel am making progress at long last.
This is the multimedia Canvas which was great fun to complete and have learn't a lot from my mistakes. Am entering this canvas for the
Alter it Monthly Challenge - Canvas (
http://alteritmonthly.blogspot.com/) another wonderful blog whose Design Team do some fabulous altered art, well worth a visit.
This is this weeks Art Class Homework - Work in Progress - in Watercolours, quite a lot to do on this one and am struggling a bit. You can enlarge all of these pictures and I promise I won't look..........lol
Thank you so much to the talented ladies who run

Oh Annette, These are lovely, you are producing some fabulous paintings. The lady sitting in the chair is wonderful, love the light concentrated on her and the chairs and you've brought it in on the right just for balance, I love them all:0) xxx
How satisfying, completion!!! BUT, even better, something else to look forward to completing, ahh, the never ending circle we all love :)

Thank you so much for joining us at Alter It Monthly. Love all the texture and colour on your piece . :) Z
I'm intrigued to know what you've taken the watercolor to get the blanket of the women who walk. Un abrazo
I am sorry I don't understand your question La Abela. If another artist understands what this dear lady means, would you explain it to me please. Annette x
You know the saying 'I'm no art critic but i know what I like'? Well these I like! XOXO Zoe
I love the period theme and especially like your two women on the beach ♥ Rosie
oh hun these are fantastic,oh you are making some wonderful creations hun so clever hugs cheryl xx
I think they are all fab - the first one is particularly lovely!
I really love your lawnchair gal. perfectly lovely.
Nettie these are quite fantastic! You've been hiding your light under a bushel. You've got an amazing talent, for painting. for crafting and who knows what else!!
Hugs xx
You're really coming along with the paintings! Beautiful work on all of them!
I always look forward to coming here on Friday to see how your paintings have progressed. I am delighted to see the finished product of the lady in the lawn chair. You are right. I know I mess up when I continue adding stuff past the point I should have stopped. This is the perfect place to stop. Beautiful. Also, I love the watercolor you've started and will be watching to see its progress also.
the lady asleep in the deckchair is wonderful. great work.
Fab pieces Netty - doesn't look like you are struggling at all! Love the top one - you should frame that one!
Gorgeous, gorgeous, GORGEOUS work, Nettie! I love them all, but the first one is my favorite- you've captured such a feel of timelessness and beautiful harmony....I totally agree that you should frame it!
Happy PPF,
Stephanie
Oh WOW!! Nettie...what a talent you are!! These paintings are really beautiful. Both of the finished paintings you feature on your blog are just lovely. The lady sleeping in the deck chair is so striking and I adore the mixed piece. Just lovely work! <3 Candy
you've really captured the gentleness of that era - ladies who lunched way back when if you like!! I wish I was that lovely lady asleep in the deckchair right now (we're having our one day of summer - its due to go back to normal cold and grey tomorrow!)
Beautiful paintings, the lady asleep is marvelous as are the ladies on the beach. Your collage piece is very fun.
Those period piece are just gorgeous. Loving it! ;)
Love your saying Annette, I think you are living in perfect harmony with your art. Just magnificent pieces, I particularly like the lady asleep in a deckchair - such a beautiful painting.
Have a great weekend.
luv and hugs {brenda} xoxox
These pieces are just fantastic! :-)
They are all beautiful - clever lady :)
Love them all, especially the ladies on the beach. Great work. I love the style. Happy PPF!

Victoria
lovely to see your post
the top piece and the bottom piece are so soothing to my spirit, a delight to see.
Netty, these are all beautiful but my favorite is the woman sleeping. I think watching someone sleep is almost taboo, it's such an intimate vulnerable moment. I love it!
Hi Netty! I really like the first and last paintings a lot. The woman on the deck chair has a beautiful oriental feel to it, and the last one of the two women has a renaissance feeling, which I really like! Your mixed media piece is great as well. Happy Friday! Hugs xo
Oh Netty, your paintings are beautiful! I am particularly loving the Lady asleep in the Deckchair. I love the soft quality of the painting.
AND Thank you for you tip about the blogger comments. It worked!!
Happy PPF!
Are you taking a local art class? If so, I'm jealous! I love the lady asleep in the lounge chair. It's beautiful!
wow,, beautiful,, jsut so delicate and soft,, lovely
You continue to grow in your wonderful art journey. Deck chairs turned out great, love your angel and mice, great tongue in cheek piece.Look forward to seeing how you finish out the beach scene.
These are great inspirations! Beautifully designed, dear Annette!

Wow, Netty! These are all fantastic pieces. Your lady in the deck chair is absolutely stunning. Gorgeous work! I love the mixed media piece. It's great fun to experiment and see what develops. Your watercolor is off to a beautiful start. I look forward to seeing it's progress!

Stunning creations!!! Thank you for your congrats. If you click on the Design Team words on my post it will take you to the Third Coast Stamps website. :) Hugs Anesha
stunning paintings netty.they are all beautiful :D
xx coops xx
Annette, your painting are LOVELY!
The MIXED PIECE is fun and engaging. Isn't it GREAT when we complete works in progress? It makes room to start another piece!!!! HAPPY PPF!
ooo wonderful! I love the subtle colors of the last one. But they are all really well done
Love the two ladies at the bottom!
What did you do for the white. I was always told that watercolor doesn't use white - so the trick of working backwards and around it to keep it white white has been a struggle.
But yours looks textured? Do tell!
Netty...these are gorgeous and you are one talented lady :)
All so beautiful Annette and the work in progress is so Serene and love the added texture :)
Von x
Love the romantic feel that the deckchair painting radiates, well done, I'm impressed by the altered art too, the textures make me want to run my hands over it and to top it all off you're now on watercolour, wow, love thw way you tackle so many techniques and also your results are gorgeous, look forward to checking out the finished watercolour Netty :)
I love all three of your peices. Your ladies are so romantic and old fashioned looking (which I like) Thanks for stopping by my place and Happy PPF!
Your paintings are beautiful. I especially love the ladies on the beach.
Marilyn
I particularly like your watercolour at the bottom there.
So very pretty!
Ohhh I really love the first one, the folliage is beautiful and it has a great composition and I think the colors in the chair and her dress compliment the background beautifully.
Netty! Beautiful artwork! All 3...mostly the struggle is worth it in the end, I find. ♥♥
Reading this post has transported me to a beautiful, simpler, peaceful time... Wonderful :)
I am loving the texture you are creating in the fabric (I enlarged them to get the full effect)!

Kristin
Love the lady in lawn chairs - it's soft and feminine and feels like an old master (I don't know which one, just in that style). And your start of the next one looks equally pretty.
They all look wonderful, Annette. The last one will be fun to see how you finish it.
Beautiful submissions. I love all the lush greenery in your first painting! I wanna be there!
Salute and happy ppf.
I love the girl sleeping in the lounge chair!! It turned out so well! The mixed media piece is lovely and a great start to the new WIP! What a wonderfully productive week! Congratulations on finishing!
Netty - YOU, Gloria and Maddy Rose fixed me! Thank YOU, Thank YOU, Thank YOU! I can leave comments all the time again! Just had to unclick the 'keep me signed in box', just like you said! Thx so much! Beautiful work Netty, as usual. xoxo
Oh my goodness Netty. I am in love with all of these. I think I love the last one best. Can't wait to see how you progress in this media. Looks fantastic.
Oh Annette!!! wow your paintings look amazing....you are on a roll!!!!
Have a wonderful weekend, too.
I'm hosting my gardens as one of 5 on the tour this year. After tomorrow, I'll be resting.
Hope that you have time to relax, too!
