This is how it looked before I went to bed the previous night as I had another little dabble.
And I digress to show you my paintbrush. As I was using it I realised that I have had this brush for as long as I have painted using acrylics.....and that is some time. Looking after your brushes pays off I say and I love the feel of it right now...not new at all - like a trusty friend!
Anyway, back to the painting. It's coming along and but it's not quite there yet. When it is I shall know!
So this is as it is right now and I will have another bash soon. I need to do something to the clouds on the middle top right but I don't want them to look like they have come straight from the Simpsons....I want them a bit abstract. If you have any ideas, I'd love to hear them.
Okay, well I will catch you later on and if I can, I will add this to Paint Party Friday! I haven't been able to post there much so it's good to be back!
Happy Friday to you all !!

Your painting is absolutely GORGEOUS!!! And I love the well worn much loved paintbrush. I have a few like that myself. Just can't be replaced can they? HAPPY PPF!
Wow, you can almost feel the spray and taste the salt. I love the deep aqua color of your sky.
This is looking really fine! The sky in particular is just wonderful. I know about favorite brushes...I love them when I have them perfectly broken in.
Wow - I'm in love with this - the colors are so beautiful and I feel like I'm right there!
On peut tellement faire dire aux nuages ce que l'on veut... Ils ont des formes parfois qui emportent notre esprit ailleurs... Il est bon d'être dans les nuages... et les vôtres vont nous transporter là où chacun souhaitera aller...
Des bleus couleur voyage...
Gros bisous

p.s. My brushes are jealous of yours... I don't treat mine nearly as well as you treat yours ;)
Ooh, this is so gorgeous. You really do clouds and skies well.
AH! Love your clouds! I struggle with cloud painting....not sure what holds me back. Do you have any technique suggestions??
