Perfect! You are all set, Sheila.

Well I am now!  I stopped by Blick after my appointment today!  I just needed an excuse!

I like Van Gogh, sunflowers, yellow, landscapes, BBC, and other aspects of this challenge!  I’ve start and never completed so many challenges I’m embarrassed to even post this, but ya’ never know.

Maybe this time.

Skill is nothing more than talent practiced relentlessly.

Yes, those attachments are much bigger. Now, I just need to stop being addicted to Farming Simulator.

C&C always welcome. Michelle

I ended up with two because I edited the post and didn’t see the attachment showing up on the edit screen, so,I uploaded it again.

Here is a larger version of two more of the references:

I drew an outline on a piece of paper to take the guesswork out of placement, and to put off starting to paint. Why is it so hard to get started sometimes?

Colin,   I like the challenge,  and had a go with the sunflower pic.   Unfortunately,  it was stinking hot in the shed and when I took the tape off the paper,  a good part of the top and bottom came off with it.  This was all a week ago.

I am now on the mainland again,  and looks like I will be here for a while.   I may not be island home again for a while…. and in any case,  the weather is hotting up which makes acrylic difficult in the shed.

Will see if I get back in time to redo.  If I can I shall redo.

Cheers

Merri

Painting is a complete distraction. I know of nothing which, without exhausting the body, more entirely absorbs the mind. Winston Churchill

[Charlies Mum Administrator (Maureen)]

Ah Merri, what a tragedy to lose the work!…. but it must be difficult in that heat.

Hope everything is ok on the mainland… for you and family I mean!

Needless to say, I haven’t yet started!

Cheers, Maureen

That’s sad Merri.

Maureen seems to like to work under pressure. lol

I’m pretty much done, just need to do some touch ups. I tried to loosen up on this one, otherwise I might spend forever fiddling with it.

C&C always welcome. Michelle

Oh, Merri! How hard to lose it! Was what was left enough to share?

I’ve started on mine, but haven’t made it very far.
