"Forever Blowing Bubbles" Goes Neon by Lynda Cookson

It's children who keep us young. Even when they're not so young themselves ... or maybe especially because they're not so young themselves! My son, who is not that far off 40 years old, has moved on from keeping me up to date with the latest in music, to keeping me up to date with what I can do with Photoshop.

Here's one of the results. I took my "Forever Blowing Bubbles" oil painting and turned it into neon line art ... such fun! Both are now available on Etsy.

Harriet

I'd like to introduce you to Harriet. She just popped up from nowhere on a sunny day with a secretive little smile on her face.

"Harriet" is a watercolour on paper measuring 4" x 6" (10 x 15 cm)

I'm beginning to learn a bit about which type of watercolour paper I prefer to use, how much water is good or bad on my brush, which size brush is best for what ... and just generally what comes naturally with a bit of practise.

There's been a lot of moving the studio (grand word for a little space!) around so that I'm comfortable and not tripping anyone up with the extended legs of my easel. The palette of watercolour paints has now found it's place at the top of my easel and a shelf has been cleared for water and brushes. I need a safe place for the water because I'm a real klutz and knock and drop things very easily indeed.

Now, with a swivel of my chair, I can be at my computer keyboard, be oil painting or glass painting on my table, or be watercolour painting at my easel. And there's still space for Bridie the German Shepherd under my table. Voila!

Be My Valentine

Another challenge painting (which, funnily enough, I did use a palette knife on when I was moving the paint in the middle of the two big red flowers!) ... watercolour on Yupo Paper.

I find it keeps me fresh to be fiddling with watercolour or a craft object during the palette knife painting of a more formal painting. Otherwise I tend to fiddle with the formal painting and usually ruin it in some way LOL

"Red Sail"

After a long spell whilst tending to family needs and then moving house, I'm settling down to paint again .. yay! To get me back into the swing of it, I'm going for a painting a day using acrylic on paper with my usual free style with unexpected colours.

Here's "Red Sail", now available on Etsy. Just click the image!
