Fridays painting

Hi Folks

This is the painting I did in class today.

It is a place called Minnamurra River and I grew up within walking distance of it. My father loved this area and often swam across the river to walk on the beach on the other side.

It's a lovely place and has a lot of special memories to me.

Thanks Elaine, it's still a bit sore but I think the main problem might have been a mosquito bite on the upper eye lid, sure was painful. It still looks a bit yuck but I can see better :) I worry about my eyes as I'm borderline Glucomia - hoping it doesn't develop further as the optomitrist said once treatment starts it's for life. LOL Urlee I noticed that too but Peter always says there are NO mistakes in art. It's a painting not a photograph so adding interest with extra reflections etc is artistic expression at it's finest :) HUGS Sue :)

Thank You ladies. lol it was a little like being back at school and coloring between the lines we drew. Peter (the teacher) said later on down the track he will do another pastel class. He gave us all our own set so we can practice and play at home but I will have to buy the special paper if I want to do that. Hope you are all having a great weekend Sue :)

Sorry to hear you are "snuffled up" - Dave being generous? Glad you were able to get out to class and have this one to show us. Nice work. Elaine

Sue- I think that is your best one yet. You should really frame that especially having the memories to go along with it.

Thank you ladies.
Yes it does hold a lot of memories.
When it's dry I plan to frame it and put it on the wall above my computer.
