Woo hoo, poutine. Sampled it once in Montreal and didn’t have a cardiac event.

A painting is never really done as long as I can get my hands on it.

Howard (and others!) ….. Canada Dry makes an excellent mixer with Canadian Club – my husband used to enjoy that!:lol:

OK – I haven’t mentioned our weather for ages – cos we’re having a heatwave …. well, it’s only around 22-25C here but in the south hovering upper 20s to low 30sC ……… I have a brown lawn and wilting plants. There are fires on the moors with firefighters and the army trying to control them (must be awful living in the vicinity with all the smoke etc) …… reservoirs are low and hosepipes banned in parts of the country.
See? – we complain about rain ……. and when it’s hot, we long for some rain!!!!!

Cheers, Maureen

HOT here also….parked my car under a shady tree but the sun moved and when I started the car it said 102 degrees…and very humid…’dog days’ of summer…:wave:

[Charlies Mum Administrator (Maureen)]

Wow – not sure I could cope with 102! . in the 70sF is high enough for me!
The thermometer outside says 26C here atm – but there’s a coolish breeze – courtesy of our North Sea so it doesn’t feel that hot … wind chill!:lol:

but we had a slight ‘sea breeze’ today :thumbsup:

[Attalus]

Nice walk, thank the Lord a breeze was blowing. Glad to get back into the a/c, though.

Hi all,

Firstly Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate ( we dont here in Aus)
Is there a thread where you can discuss progress in acrylics.

I bought some acrylics and started working on a naive painting which I dont see much naive in wc. ??
I purchased Rob Hain about 10 years ago and when I look around my house, I guess that is the style I like best as that is what I have hanging on my walls in the family room.
I have not used acrylics before and spent the day trying out colours that work together ( they are very different to watercolours)
So, is there a section for naive work.?
Is there a section for advice and critiscism.?

I am not trying to copy or emulate Rob Hain, and various naive artists work, but I always had the idea of doing local scenes in naive style and I have been around my district and taken a heap of photos and drawn out scenes that I would like to paint. I purchased acrylics because the first naive painting I tried I did it in watercolour, but the softness of the colours did not give it that punch…. although it worked out beaut.

Thank you in advance.
kind regards Merriweather.
