....has come around again very quickly! Thank you very much to Cheryll for getting us organised - you can see who else took part here
However,I dont seem to have very much to show for my afternoon and evening!
I have been playing with watercolours this week, painting fruit. So first up I completed this pear
which I am happy with. The paper is too thin so it has cockled but as this is only for practise I am not bothered. I have also done a banana
and and apple which I am NOT sharing!
Having completed my pear I got out this small piece that I started some time ago. The photograph is of some beautiful autumn leaves and I am trying to replicate the colours although without too much success.
Then in the evening I made a start on my swap hexies for the month.
Your painting is lovely... such detail.... and I love the poppy you did.... time to do the hanging sleeve now and put it up...

Such very nice watercolor painting, Lin! The pear is well done and the banana is exceptional. I won’t even attempt. The leaves are going well I think. As I am also dabbling in watercolors, I find it really difficult to visualize the end result and how the paints will look when dry. You are doing well. I find it 100% easier to sew. Ha. Your poppy hanging looks beautiful. You are rightly so to be pleased with it.
ReplyDeleteThe pear is easy... nice... I bought pears by the glass and bake a cake :-) We were also very wet, but this weekend including Friday it is fantastic, tomorrow for Mother's Day with us over 20 degrees. Drinking coffee in the garden :-))) and I think I will not sew ... but be outside, in the forest, in the countryside.
ReplyDeleteThe poppy is absolutely wonderful. Have fun with your projects.
Many greetings from Viola
You are a talented painted. I think you are doing good on your leaves.
ReplyDeleteWonderful things to show this post. Your fruit is very life like. The poppy is really gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOhhh another talent is emerging nicely... keep it up.
ReplyDeleteYour hexies & poppy are wonderful too.
Thanks for stopping in for FNwF...xox
Goodluck with your watercolours..... I've no skills in that area
ReplyDeleteYour watercolours are beautiful, did you eat the apple?? :-) Love your poppy block, very pretty hexies. I think we might be in for a wet week too.
ReplyDeleteYour poppy wall hanger is lovely and great paintings.
ReplyDeleteLove your paintings ...the poppy looks really good - even without a hanger!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful poppy. Love your fruit! You are very clever. Well done. I wonder what happened to the apple? Hmmmmm.
ReplyDeleteYour painted fruit is lovely ...
ReplyDeleteThe Poppy is beautiful...
I admire anyone who can paint! Lovely fruit!
ReplyDeleteYour wall hanging looks good too. I can see why you are pleased with it.
Have a good week,
xx
Your poppy is stunning Lin!! As are your water colours - you are very clever indeed!!
ReplyDeleteYour paintings are lovely.
ReplyDeleteI adore your Poppy.
Oh, but I want to see that apple. =) Your pear and banana, Lin, look fabulous...so realistic. Your poppy is going to look lovely hanging on the wall in all it's finished beauty.
ReplyDeleteFab job with your watercolours....I need some of your mojo. Mine has gone on holidays. Your Poppy hanging is beautiful...well done xx
ReplyDeleteThe poppy is looking lovely. As for the paintings - yes, I agree that when it's a practice piece, paper cockling doesn't matter quite so much, but I find it so much easier to paint on heavy paper that won't cockle!
ReplyDeleteHi Lin, lovely to have a catch up read and see what you have been doing. The Poppy hanging turned out beautifully - the batiks for the leaves do work really well. So clever with the painting too - I don't think I could ever achieve anything so realistic (although I do know it is practice practice practice!)!!
ReplyDeleteLovely paintings, a skill i dont have
ReplyDeleteGorgeous poppy.
