Anyway, thank you so much for joining in, Mary, and adding this coloured pencil piece and of your shed, no less. Great idea and perfectly acceptable. Thank you so much for the promo too. Delightful! <br /><br />I've gone ahead and decided to again do a compilation of all the entries from all the platforms that one can take, not expecting everyone to go to each platform but stick to their own! Anyway, lot of wonderful variety! I love seeing how people interpret a theme differently and meeting new artists along the way so gave a shout out to you too, btw.

I can't draw or stitch, etc. so I'll have to pass on this collaboration. I'm going to check out Michael's blog though - sounds interesting! A few months ago, I bought some blank canvases, oil paints and brushes after watching some youtube videos. I was inspired - but never actually gave it a go.

And thank you for making us aware of his blog. I have joined it this morning. <br />You know Mary, once you begin to get involved with painting (in any form) you will become more and more sure of yourself and soon you will be creating originals. <br />In the interim you might want to try working with two different programs, "Brushstroke" and "Watermark". They will make your photos look like paintings... excellent to use as models.

Phone apps are amazing these days aren't they? I have such a desire to paint but instead take photos of what I see - which is why I started blogging - as I don't have much artistic talent. I think the two - painting and photography - are connected though. It is all about what the eye sees and captures whether through a lens or on canvas and paper.

I used to sketch everything in sight and had just become interested in watercolors and oils before married life and little ones stepped in. I have a 'coloring book' and pencils but I haven't touched them. Thanks for the link.<br /><br />I think the shades you used and how you blended them are beautiful, Mary. You have always had an eye for good style and taste and it continues here. <br /><br />Jane xBlondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-91802683350381561862017-03-01T23:55:12.804-05:002017-03-01T23:55:12.804-05:00Sarah, can you do needlework or sewing?
