The storm continues

The transition continues and I am still looking at the sky and watching it evolve....just like the real skies when a storm is brewing.

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 !!

Sunday Sketches

Well I am so VERY excited. I have spent all week painting, painting and painting and had the best time. I have painted one picture, almost finished another one and started my next. I feel like a little production line. My excitement is due to the fact that when I painted the first one I tried to take photographs at most stages to see how the painting has developed. I have done this almost at every stage (there is always a part when you get so engrossed that you forget!). And what I have done is put it all in a little video for you to see. And this is my first EVER attempt at doing this so please bear with me....I hope they get better as I plan on doing more.

Here's my entry for this weeks Sunday Sketch, and although I know it isn't exactly a sketch, I couldn't do any sketching as well.... I was painting (big smiley face).

Seascape - Acrylic 12" x 12"

Here's the video, I hope you enjoy. Please check out the other Sunday Sketches and have a great day!
