Returning to painting during the Winter months.

well you are very talented. I cant paint to save my life so I am very envious of your talents.

That is truly lovely, Julia! I know how difficult it can be to represent water, but you have done it brilliantly . . . thanks so much for showing us.

Very lovely and such a beautiful choice of calming colours. My mum had the same love of rivers as you do and she too grew up by the coast!
Please share any future paintings with us.

Wordsworth wold have loved your beautiful paintings of the Wye. He was very fond of the place and with good reason!
Agree with Wildrose, rivers are great - something for every mood. Wish I could paint!

Beautiful!

A peaceful, relaxing scene. I do envy you your talent.

It's a beautiful painting. I love the colours and mistiness of it, it's just like autumn should be :)

I paint and draw but I'm like you though, high maintenance garden which takes so much time in spring and summer !

I like to paint/draw castles, old churches etc. Maybe I'll show some of them when I get a few finished :)

Yes Homebird (Sheila) we would all love to see your watercolours :)

I empathize with you. Miss the garden so much in the winter, then miss the painting in the summer. For quite a few years, it was paint, paint, paint but the last ten, garden, garden, garden. I think the garden gives immediate joy and then some, while the painting can be frustrating,annoying and then JOY. Keep doing both is the answer, I guess.

Julia....I am so glad you have taken out your brushes again...that is a very beautiful and skilled painting! I myself am inspired by Woodland and woodland creatures. But your love of tranquil river scenes is evident in your work! I very much look forward to seeing the next work!

You are very talented Meadow, enjoy your painting while the garden isn't a distraction.

That's beautiful painting Julia, I'm still painting but acrylics mostly.
I would love to be able to master watercolours

I will do a blog when I get chance :)
It's easy to get out of something but once your back on track it soon comes back x

Me too!

Thanks ladies :)
