Forest Garden - painting in progress video

It's been a busy weekend what with nursery graduation for Daisy (nursery did a graduation party for the children leaving nursery and starting school), painting and doing more stuff to the house and of course keeping the kids entertained!

I did find time to finally put the video together of the progress of my Forest Garden painting, which I hope you enjoy.

A painting in progress

Here is a glimpse of the painting I started yesterday. Really not sure where this is heading, but I am just enjoying the process to see where it takes me. I played about with different techniques and I enjoyed it. I must remember to let go of worrying about the final result and embrace the creation of the final painting.

Here's to a better week this week than the one I have just had.

Happy Monday to you all xx

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).
