Kati - your waterfall has really captured the light - it's bursting out of the painting! Wow!
Teresa - it's like looking at a secret place through the foliage - really intimate (and nice foliage paintiing too).
Scott - glad you joined us! I like the transparent area at the bottom of the waterfall particularly.

Js - you can do all three if you wish! Entirely up to you

... and no matter how long we have been painting, we're all still 'in the learning phase' - or should be! So you are not alone!

Love all the renditions I'm seeing. Everyone did wonderful work. And much thanks to all who commented on mine.
Lil - this has a grotto affect. Seems like a tranquil place to go & relax. Very nice.
JS - I thought of doing this one, but was a bit scared off of the size of the waterfall. You handled it easily. Love the small village too!
Tony - yours has that special grotto look too. You are so lucky to live so close to something so beautiful
Kati - love the shimmer to your water. It sparkles!
Teresa - love the simplicity of this. And your color too!
Sevansodi - you did the large waterfall too. Great perspective in your piece.
Steve - when I saw this photo I thought "knife work" to myself. You made it happen & it's wonderful!

Great work all! And thanks Tony for a fun Different strokes. Great photos!
-Nan

Thanks, Nancie. Yours is amazing!

Maureen, so vibrant. LOVE the color combo.
Lil, so cool and beautiful.
JS, I like how the water rushes over the falls.
Tony, very refreshing!
Kati, loving the misty feel.
Teresa, lovely greens!
sevandsodi, good work for working quick.
Steve, loving the texture and crop.

Thanks for hosting, Tony. It was a good incentive to get out the brushes again after a busy couple of months.

Hi Tony..Well I have one finished painting of Pic1 and an In Progress for Pic2 painting. How do I go about uploading the JPEGs to this site? Ah .. I see "Manage Attachments" below. Thanks for the opportunity to participate. It is a good way to force a painting out of ourselves!

Hi Tony..I should have read the requirements for Posting images but I didn't so I am attaching the resized images: Pic 1 is complete on 9 x12 Canson Acrylic paper and Pic2 is in progress on 11 x 14 canvas and should complete in a couple of days. Thanks for hosting this site.

Steve - that painting is so full of vitality - really like that version of the ref

Linda - what a lovely painting - really like the tree frame!

Forest - welcome to acrylics and to Different Strokes.

The first one is beautiful and the second is well on its way - lovely work!

It's OK to upload the way you have, using attachments, but if you would like/need help to use the mountain icon uploader or the Quick Links uploader, please let me know and I'll send info

Kati, really nice textures.

Teresa, nice colours. I really like the water.

Sevansodi, nice work.

Steve, looks good, especially the rocks.

Linda, beautiful! Your work just glows.

Forest, the first one looks great! Looking forward to seeing the second one finished.

This has been a fun project to do, I recently joined this site and was happy to find this project. Never tried to paint a waterfall before. I just started this yesterday but I paint really quickly. Not sure if it is quite done but I thought I would post it and get in on the fun. The other paintings so far look great, I'll try to leave comments later.

**Charlie's Mum** · #58 07-21-2009, 11:52 AM

So glad you painted this lmarie - it's a lovely painting! Love the form of your rocks and excellent water!

Onewithwings · #59 07-21-2009, 01:06 PM

Linda- Love the detail!

Ken- The water in your first painting really glows

lmarie- very interesting use of white and gray

These are 5x7" wc paper, liquid acrylics on the bottom and then some regular acrylics on top.

I'm posting "in the spirit of...." They did not turn out the way my brain had pictured it and I've run out of oomph to turn them into my vision.

(They don't need to go into a gallery if we make one this month...)

Cheers,

Salute to our Partners
