Paint Party Friday and almost ready...............

Hi, haven't been able to go to the party the last few weeks but today am showing a page from my sketchbook done in watercolour pencils and glitter in the Mucha style.


and this is a canvas which am in the middle of sketching, its a combination of Chagalls paintings with my own twist.  Am trying to be a bit more adventerous.  Looking forward to seeing how this develops, it could take some time as am not the fastest painter on the planet.


I visited the Consultant yesterday and he is pretty sure its not Lung Cancer, which is a huge relief but still have to have a few more tests yet to establish what is wrong with me.  Am feeling a little stronger each day and in less pain so thats all good stuff.

Hope you all have a great weekend and the strong winds and rain subside.  Thank you for popping in and supporting my latest adventures.  Take care, hugs Annette xx

Hi Netty, I must've missed some of your posts as I had no idea that you were ill but am very relieved to hear you don't have lung cancer anyway! I hope they get to the bottom of what's wrong and it isn't too serious.

I love this painting of the girl, the colours are wonderful.

Very lovely Mucha style girl, you did a great job on it. The sketch for the big painting looks so absorbing, I'd have a hard time working on anything else.
