Paint or Draw

I started painting for a hobby during lockdown and now I am hooked! I wanted to paint something seasonal and Poinsettias are synonymous with Christmas décor and festive cheer.

I was fascinated by the reflections in amongst the surface pattern.

A digital drawing of baubles - I forgot to pack them away at the end of Christmas and saw that they made a nice subject with the reflections in them.

I painted this as it reminds me of poinsettias

I have painted the Three Wise Men bearing gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh in watercolour using an iridescent medium. This painting allowed me to relax on a very cold and wet day and brings back happy memories of being a young girl with family celebrating the festive season and singing carols. We Three Kings of Orient Are is a carol that brings a message of hope.

I liked the idea of showing the church in the village where I live (Thornford, Dorset) but I did not want a traditional view, so I positioned it reflected in a Christmas tree decoration. The work uses a mixture of pastels from different manufacturers to support a range of techniques.

November/December, months of fireworks! This was painted using acrylics paints.

In the style of, but not quite there, Charles Rennie Mackintosh.

A watercolour painting with a Festive theme, but a bit different from robins, Christmas trees, snowmen etc. Used ultramarine blue, sap green, paynes grey, yellow ocre & burnt sienna. The background was sprinkled with salt.

I love Celtic Art and particularly trees. The tree was hand drawn onto fabric, and then embroidered using crystals, stones and beads.

Daily Festivities of an open market.

I made a Christmas painting for my granddaughter. Watercolour with lots of negative painting.

This was inspired by last years festive light show at Dunham Massey

I love painting flowers.
