Hi, hope you have all had a great week and are looking forward to the weekend. If the weather stays nice we are off to the
Harpole Scarecrow Festival, which is a brilliant event, the entire village takes part and all the money raised is given back to the Community for various projects and causes.
Its
Paint Party Friday again kindly hosted by Kristin and Eva, its a party to show your artwork and a chance to see a wonderful array of paintings by some terrific artists, plus beginners like me. A very friendly and great support group.
This painting is very nearly finished. I found a picture in a magazine and wanted to try and paint it in my own style, have painted it in acrylics.
Am also showing my first ACEO (Art Cards, Editions and Originals), this is also painted in Acrylics and would like to paint some more of these showing the different seasons. Although to paint on something so small was quite difficult to do, well it was for me.........lol
Thank you for visiting me and giving such great support, I very much appreciate it. Will be back this evening to visit your wonderful work. Take care, hugs Annette x

Water scenes such as the one you painted, are very hard to do. You have mastered it!
Such wonderful blue for the water scene ... just calming. Well Done!

Your paintings look so amazing and I thought the lady in the pool that's be you .....
they are both wonderful and I love your ACEO. I love working small and use a magnifying glass as I work. :-)
Love your lady in the water... beautiful colors :) I personally find it harder to paint on larger canvasses, but it's great that you're comfortable with them! Have a great weekend :)
gosh she's beautiful, you've done a good job with the water. I love ACEOs now that I've started doing them. Nice!
Super work as always Annette. You are so artistic and inspiring. TFS your journey with us.

Wow your art work is getting better and better your so talented Netty xx
I love those art cards! The shape and color of the blue is a great contrast to the multi-color flowers (?) below. Your woman in the pool painting really has great eye contact too. I feel as if she is looking out at me! Happy PPF!
I'm impressed with your painting of the lady in the pool, especially her arms under the water.
Truley skillful work Annette :) beautiful !

i love your aceo - it's a great idea to do a seasonal grouping. i agree, it's hard to work that small! :) - happy friday to YOU!
Both of these are gorgeous Annette! I love the blues in all your work, funny how I am always so drawn to it. Especially since pink is my favorite color.
These are again fantastic, Netty! Great inspiration pieces!
Have a nice weekend my friend.

the lady in the water is so pretty ...wonderful painting mu friend! I like the card too..it is hard to paint things small for me too. good exercise on doing little paintings and detail
two great pieces Netty. I love the girl in the pool - it makes me wish I was somewhere sunny and warm. Your ACEO is brilliant - you've really captured the sense of distance and persepctive with the tree trunks.
I love both of these, especially the ACEO, it's really hard for too to work small and I love all the detail and movement you managed to get in there. Your lady in water is great too!
these are fantastic netty.i really loev your painting of the water, its looks stunning ;D
xx coops xx
Both are lovely! Really like the girl in the water - beautiful!
Netty, your swimming lady is just gorgeous! I'm not ready for the weather to turn cold yet, so I'm still in summertime mode! Your ACEO is beautiful. I've done loads of ATCs but never painted one, that I remember. I think it would be very difficult. Do you know Jan? She paints ACEOs in acrylics. Her blog is From my Park Bench.

You are moving along with your painting and I'm amazed that you would attempt a portrait and it turned out fabulous, Annette.
I can't do portraits AT ALL--nice, Netty!

Both are such beautiful pieces! I have to admit, I'm a bit jealous of your use of paints!!
