A new painting

  Hi Everyone,
     I have been working on my newest journal page painting for a few days now. I actually really liked this one. I did try to paint in rocks on the left side-didn't look like rocks, so tried to turn it into a large tree-ugh did not like that at all either so painted all over it-and finished up the left side this way.  I am still pleased with the flowers especially.

   I am sharing my painting on Try It On Tuesday  for the  new theme Beauty of Nature. I also thought I would post for the first time on Paint Party Friday
   I am a brand new painter-this is my first attempt with flowers

  The small photo I found in a magazine was my inspiration.
    all photos will enlarge just click on them



                                           My inspiration photo




Brrrr the weather is changing here strong winds, temperatures dropping all day and rain coming in.

Yesterday though here was a couple of my lake views




Happy Friday and Weekend everybody

    This came out fantastic Kathy. It has a light whimsical look. And light and whimsical is what we all could use right now. And flowers would be nice too. Have a safe and healthy weekend Kathy. Hugs-Erika

    Kathy this is such a fabulous piece of art those bold strokes make me exceedingly happy, rich green with those bright flowers showing their pretty faces to the world your painted creation is very true to the picture, what a super find.
    Stay safe & keep creative & thank you for sharing over @ PPF Tracey x

    I love Echinacea (cone flowers) and you did a great job capturing them. They are great. You are really doing a great job with your painting. You may have found your calling, Kathy.

    Your painting is beautiful. You are doing quite well with this form of artwork. (If I tried to paint, it would look like stick figures.) It looks cold on the water. I like your sunrise (or sunset) photo.

      Thank you Carol, this is something Larry wanted to do, our woods home was too much work now for his health issues-and he loves to fish-I am glad we are here now-isolated but not-always something to see on the lake, and we see people too unlike being in the woods. now if the virus would go away we can finish up the woods house and sell
