As said last Thursday I have to move on to painting Water and am finding it extremely difficult, but will keep going and hope that one day soon it will turn out OK.
Both of these were painted in Acrylics on Canvas Boards, as you can see I am still feeling my way.
This is as far as I've got with the WIP from last week which will hopefully show Rain.
Its taking me ages to do, am also showing the underpainting. There is more of the painting on the left hand side of the Canvas but have somehow cut the picture short by about 2 inches, so am going to blame it on my new camera because it can't be me can it...........lol Hopefully it will be complete in 2 weeks.
Am sharing these paintings with Paint Party Friday, hosted by Kristin and Eva and all the other wonderful artists who show their work at PPF.
Have also been joining in with Carolyn Dube's free workshop which is Using you Letters, see my sidebar if you would love to join in or follow the above link. The more the merrier. All in all its been a busy old week. Will show my workshop pages another day.
Thank you for visiting me and any constructive criticism is always welcome as am still learning. Take care of yourselves and enjoy the weekend, hugs Annette x
Just realised I have posted this on the wrong blog..........daaaah sorry about that it should have gone on my Nettys Art Adventures blog..........such a dope

I don't think you realise how talented you are Netty, these are gorgeous! xx
You're so talented one, Netty!! These are truly beautiful. The Rain one is amazing!! Rain with colours...just breathtaking.
Fantastic work, Netty, love your paintings. You get better and better and BETTER!! Hugs, Valerie
These are gorgeous ! I'd certainly be happy to hang any of this trio on my walls c
Three wonderful paintings. I love the textures and colours in the first one.
I don't think your water scenes are bad looking at all! I love the texture in the first one, and love the softness of the second!! You're doing just fine!!
Annette, I have to agree with Doreen on this, you are not giving yourself credit at all. I love everyone of your pictures and that first one is absolutely stunning and could hang on my wall anytime. Enjoy your Day and TFS. Hugs Rita xxx
Love the texture of the spume and spray in the first one, and still in love with the shimmer of the rain on the pavement in the one with the couple... Really beautiful work, going in absolutely the right direction. You'll conquer water just as you conquered the flowers!

wow Netty, these are brilliant. your painting is really taking off. I love all of these, the texture of the waves, the colours of the sky and sand and the vibrancy of the third picture.
Wow, Netty I think these are fab. I love the first one especially and the rain one is quite breathtaking. You are one very talented lady but your beauty is you don't seem to realise it you lovely lady.

Love the impasto (is that right?) technique on the rocks - and the gorgeous vibrancy of your rain WIP.
Amazing painting of the coast and sea. They are all fantastic.

Wow Netty! Honestly, your paintings are incredible! I love that texture from the rocks. Gorgeous! Hugs!
Absolutely wonderful paintings Netty. You have captured the sea beautifully and the sky in the second is amazing. Have a lovely day. XX

Great painting all of them, your water looks good and I so admire your perseverance! Can't say which one is my favourite (probably the rainy day one still, but the first one brilliant too!
Girl...you are FAR too hard on yourself! These are fabulous, and as a matter of fact, my favorites of yours! I love the sea scape and beach scene...perfect in my opinion. If in a gallery I'd be captivated! Keep on keeping on!!!
Pleased you posted these on this blog Nettie so we can all see as they are brilliant x
Annette this is such a great work.Love them all. Fantastic the water against the rocks.
lovely greet Marja
O my word... your paintings are Beautiful.. Fabulous work!!! Hugs May x x x
Beautiful paintings. I love to watch the sea being by the sea side as well as look at paintings and photos related to the sea. I have been to the National Gallery and got stuck at Turner's works and did not move forward... ;)
To me it looks already OK.
Don't be so hard on yourself!
I can't do it this way :-((

So glad you did post it here - I would hang that first one on my wall at home in a heartbeat as you have captured not only the feel but also the movement of the waves and the dragging effect of the tide on the beach stunningly. Who cares how long it takes when you come up with art like this. Huge round of applause Annette. Hugs, Jenny x
These paintings are absolutely awesome, absolutely love the colours and textures.
Those waves at top are specacular.
And the rain showing on the ground of the umbrella couple is a terrific feel good painting too.
Your painting techniques are amazing Nettie...and I always love anything near water! beautiful!
Annette - if I could do these paintings, it would be all I would do. All three of these are fantastic and I give a big sigh and wish a big wish!!!!! I do love your work!!
Sandy
Netty your use of colours in the rainy one are fabulous.
these are very challenging pieces, water and rain...they look beautiful, as does the rain one so far.
Nettie, you are incredible, my friend. Your talent is crazy wonderful! I love looking at your paintings, and am so happy that you are sharing them. Hugs....
Awesome work Netty. I especially love the two walking in the rain. Wow, how did you get it so shiny?? I need to know so I can try it.:) Excellent. Thanks.

Absolutely great water scenes, you are doing great! Good for you, I have never even dared to try to paint whitecap waves! :-D Love your fabulous colorful couple, too!
I adore your beach pieces, wonderful!
Wow Annette....I can totally feel the energy and power of those waves..your painting feels alive to me and such glorious textures..beautiful..it feels like those waves are crashing out of the canvas..exhilarating !
the second is sublime..there is something vivid-dreamlike and magical about the color palette for me. I feel safe and protected by the deep lavenders of the sky..and i love the people below..precious!

Seriously Netty you just get better and better every week. You have real talent - keep going, keep going! I love to see what you do every week.
Netty, I love the colors in the last one with the couple under the umbrella. I can feel the rain even if I don't actually see it. And the other two are fantastic. I think you already are doing great on water. Thanks for visiting my blog. I appreciate it.
Wonderful progress in your 'water' paintings and lovely 'rain painting' ~ Wow!
Wow, your paintings are wonderful! And you are still practicing, you say? Wow!
Your water paintings are beautiful and the rain painting is so colorful and pretty!

Your water paintings are lovely! i definitely see waves in that first painting. Beautiful job... xox
You did an amazing job with those seascapes, Netty. I love the texture in the crashing waves and the rocks, as well as the beautiful sky in the second one. Blessings!
totally different, but both water scenes are wonderful--love the texture in the first one and the soft blending in the second one. The rain scene looks great as well.
Your water paintings are wonderful, I love the oe in the rain very much
I think you're doing a great job Annette! That second painting is beyond wonderful! Those colours are so strong, I love it!

All your paintings are gorgeous. I especially love the third one, bright and colorful.
Wow Netty! Your paintings are looking fantastic! I love the water ones. You are really coming along with painting water. I can imagine how difficult it is to paint. Love your rain painting!!!

Lovely colors in your paintings. Great job on all of them. HPPF
just FANTATSIC PIECES Netty!
I like the one of the ocean in particular. It looks as though it is extremely textured. You achieved an amazing result with that one! Carry on girl!
LOVE that first watercolour, it is so real. 80 comments- my goodness I think that's the most I have ever seen on one blog. You go gal and Happy belated PPF.
your paintings are fantastic - I love the roughness of the sea and the colourful rain beating down on the umbrella; beautiful xx
Wow, your paintings are fabulous.
Paintings are absolutely Awesome can almost hear those waves xxxx
You're doing great! I love the brilliant colors! Your seascapes are lovely and that rain painting is my fav! Sorry I'm late to the party. Hugs~ Rhonda ♥
Wow! You have been productive this week. I am loving your water paintings. The spray, the rocks and the reflections in "rain" are all wonderful. I love the card you made for your granddaughter, too. have a good week and keep well.
Netty I am absolutely gobsmacked at how amazing your paintings are. You could really sell these. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the sea one with the rocks. (Any chance of a tutorial to say how you painted it). I seriously think that has the WOW factor xx
Wow Netty, this has blown me away, fabulous xxx
Beautiful! I think you are doing really well with the water. It must be so hard as water is always moving, and trying to portray that in paint....oh my!
You are really doing very very well!
Hugs,
Terri
