Hi, first I would like to thank everyone who sent me their good wishes yesterday. Am so lucky to have such great blogging friends. Have a completed canvas for Paint Party Friday.................woo hoo and a Work in Progress.
This was painted in Acrylic...............came across it in a magazine and fell in love with this beautiful wistful maiden and had to paint her. Don't know anything about the picture so if anyone knows I would be grateful if you could tell me please. Thats if you can recognise her from my efforts..............lol
My Work in Progress is Juliet which was originally painted in Oils by John Waterhouse, again am working in Acrylics. Not got very far and can already see errors............. To be truthful I should be working on my Art Homework which is a mass of flowers on a large canvas but have come to a bit of a full stop plus my heart isn't in it. It happens.................
Thank you for Kristin and Eva for being such great hostesses. Our party numbers have grown tremendously which is fab because we get to see loads and loads of different artwork, pure heaven.
Thank you again for all your terrific support in my adventures into Art. Will be visiting you all very soon. In the meantime have a great weekend and take care of yourselves. Hugs Annette x

Wow. Can't get over how well you capture human form. And I'm so sorry to hear about your hands... wishing you a reprieve with all my heart. Been there to some extent and I really feel for you!
Wonderful delicate approach!
Happy Painting.
Your paintings are beautiful - and I know what you mean that your heart is not in it. It just doesn't give the same sense of fun, content, accomplishment.
Fabulous, Beautifully painted, lovely colours. Have a great Week

I am a HUGE fan of the preraphaelites so LOVE you blog makeover and these two picture echo the style. So pretty your first painting and the second is going to be stunning. Great composition!
Fabulous paintings Annette, I love them both equally and I'm so enjoying following your arty journey, I'm amazed that you can paint at all with sore hands! Have a wonderful week, hugs Gay xxx
Wow--so loving both of these pieces, in particular the woman holding the flower. Can't wait to see the other one when it's done, too. Sadly I don't know anything about the origins of the image.
Wow Netty, I love your paintings, very inspirational.
Hope you are having a lovely weekend.
Hugs, Sam x
Both are stunning, Netty! very feminine and serene! Thank you for inviting me to paint party. I need to check it out.
xoxo
ahhh so lovely! I love the background and the look of it, beautiful! And I'm sure the second one will be as gorgeous ♥
So beautiful Netty!!!
Hi Anette
They are both looking great. Hope you are having a good week.
Ev
Gorgeous works, both of them, Netty. It is so exciting how you are progressing. You seem to be more at ease with your works than when I first started visiting your wonderful blog. I love the WIP and I see no errors. I can't help with identifying it, however. I think your finished piece will be beautiful. Thanks so much, Netty, for the concern and well wishes for my beloved. At 76 and with 3 non-curable liver diseases (caused from a gout medication he took for years) this event was indeed very scary. We are happy he is home again.
Faye
lovely enchanting pieces.
So romantic. I like the way the first one is sort of soft edged, dreamy. You couldn't have a better example than Waterhouse for lovely mysterious ladies!
I do so love the completed painting. Simply gorgeous...do take care, gerri
