VictoriArt aka LoLs Leisure

The best surprise ever !!good to see you Rosa my friend,it ain't been the same without you.

BTW sorry for butting in here Lol.

 

thanks gogs you sweetie yes sorry LoL for using your section for a welcome

 

Gosh, it's active here all of a sudden!

Got a bit of reflection on the glass, Babe, but it looks ace ... No 1!

Cwmtillery Lakes has come out nice ... the water is more reflected now. I've forwarded it to t'other half to maybe replace the other in the Archives.

Webmaster, I know I sometimes speak for other people, so I'll speak for my sister now as she is getting ready to go to the airport and has logged off I think. She's going to our cousin's in Bedfordshire.

 

As this is in another section, I am putting it here for my record purposes and the story behind it.

That looks like a rather nice painting LoL :D

 

We've had storms today so gardening was out of the question ... therefore, the paintbrush materialised again!

With rosa's kind permission, I have used her beauttiful watercolour, Oriental Beauty (which I proudly have in my possession ) to attempt such with acrylics. I certainly have not had the success rosa has as I am not good with detail, but ... here is rosa's (on 60cm x 43cm A3? watercolour paper)...



... and here is mine, The Oriental Express, done on a 20cm x 60cm stretched canvas ...



Doesn't have the same impact, me thinks! :(

It's a very different style, Lol - but I don't think you can realistically compare it to Rosa's picture. They have the same basis, but treated very differently.

I like yours, and one of the things I like about it is the rearrangement of the layout - being tall works, IMHO!

 

Hi Webmaster, sorry I've taken so long to reply and now that I am doing so, I am writing in my cousin's name, so to speak, who is now also a member.

I am visiting in Beds, in a beautiful village up on a hill, where my cousins live.

Oh, sorry, I should have signed as Kedi-Gato!

 

Thanks, dendro, your thoughts are definitely appreciated. I wasn't "copying" rosa as she knwos but the style.

It was just one of those things I HAD to try!

T'other half loves this one, the colour is a bit more vibrant than shows up because I had the flash on to take this photo and perhaps shouldn't have?

 

I like it, it matches that one of mine I like the size of it, going to have another go at one on sunday but going to put birds in it instead of poppies

 

I wonder why, rosa? :D I don't think I can do them, Sweetie!

 

bm started me off saying them poppies were birds, and i thought birds i didnt paint birds on that :D :D so i went and had another look and them on the left the top one especially looks like a bird, was thinking of a red parrot would look fab

 

They definitely look like birds, Sweetie! :D

Dont't think I can do them ... will have to sleep on it!

Red parrot ... nice ... again, will sleep on it! I can always add ...
