Spring time painting at home

Greetings Girls,

Another week has passed and this week we are greeted by sunshine and blue skies each morning.
The garden has more Spring flowers blooming and our large Cherry Tree is getting ready to display her pink blossom soon. A fine tree but always so late to flower.  Usually once the tree is looking splendid we then have a few days of very windy weather which soon has the petals flying everywhere!

I was thinking about Brodie Castle and how at this time of the year the daffodils there are so beautiful there.  I am sure many of you are missing being able to go out and visit your family and favourite walks.  I thought you would like to see a photo of me sending you a greeting from the castle, from one of my walks there during a past April.   Let us hope we shall soon be able to enjoy our days of venturing out once again.




This week we have a fine selection of works from you painting and drawing from home. Some of you are unable to take part due to not being able to down load photos onto the computer. But I will in the future hopefully be able to post some of your past works from the class here. So everyone can enjoy viewing them. Please do continue to send me photos of your paintings from home!
If you click on the image you should be able to see them at a large size.



Margaret's watercolour cottage by the sea. The soft blue behind the house sets off the building and surroundings so nicely.


Carole's wee croft is full of texture, colour and life! The reds catch the eye in the foreground while the lovely blue sea takes the eye into the distance.


Avril has an interesting project here those colourful houses and detail will keep her occupied. Avril works well using pastel pencils and has a love of detail in her work. Looking forward to seeing the next stage, it is looking lovely!


Carole was very inspired by Avril and Alison Macdonald's fine portrait work shown here last week. She decided to take on the challenge of painting her lovely Grand daughter Lily. Beautifully painted.


Ann's sky is beautiful. Evening paintings are hard to capture, she has done very well and the birds in the sky are a lovely touch to the scene.


Margaret's lovely Scottish landscape will have us all wishing we were there!
