There were a number of duplicate images and wips, I hope I managed to post the images that the participating artists would like to have displayed.

I've reached the image limit for this posting. The remaining images will be in the following post.

heehee Hal you put my name against 2 versions of the Kittery Point pic. I do believe one of them is Lins.......Shhhhhh I won't tell her you gave her a sex change if you don't

[halthepainter]

OOPS!!! OOPS!!!

Before Lin sends either Dave two legs or Dave 4 legs to beat up on me let me get Lin's work down for the month end gallery:



Sorry Lin...and I thought I was doing so well.

It was magic Lin.

You, being from the land of Hogsworts, should know all about that.

Well I'm a straggler but I wanted to get this up.... thank you Hal for a great month of challenges -- everybody did such an inspiring job.
here is mine... sorry to be so late!!! Time is getting away from me.

[halthepainter]

PJ great job. I really like the soft focus on this one and you got a surprising amount of detail in your work.

What size is your image and the type paper and brand of OPs???

[PJjr]

Thank you Hal, I picked up a set of expressionists which are not available in Thailand... I was pleasantly surprised by them. The paper is 7.5 x 11 rough, brand is master art.
I could have done a lot more and worked more on the boat but I noticed it was starting to get too busy and I meant to suggest more than express in this one, so I left it....

Almost forgot to mention ... I used reeves water soluble oil pastels for the initial wash

[halthepainter]

PJ I think you did a great job. I also think it is better to suggest than to show.

[Pat Isaac]

Nicely done PJ and I like the feeling of light.
