The weather has been cold and wet and yesterday a sprinkling of snow...I am glad that I have no need to go outside and thankful that all my groceries can be delivered to my door.....
Last week there were some mixed media Pebeo paints being demonstrated on Hochanda and they looked very interesting.
I decided to invest in some of them and when they came I set aside an afternoon to experiment.
The smell of the paints was very strong....message to self......next time , wait for summer and paint outside.
The finished painting has a vague look of stained glass windows and shines.
These paints have a mind of their own and no matter what you put down on canvas or paper, is NOT the end result, so it is a case of wait and see. The paints take overnight to dry and what you painted is not what you find the following day.
A very interesting experiment though and here is the first result....
.

the first signs of Spring are here...lots of buds on the bushes and the daffodils are showing above the ground. My Bluebells are also 6" high and don't usually flower until May....everything seems early this year.....
I have been busy painting and sales have been higher than every which spurs me to paint more.
Today the sun is shining, even though it is cold . I can see across Swansea Bay to Devon.
This is the latest of my small format paintings.
This one is just 7" x 5" and in artist quality watercolours.

I also found a painting that I started a few years ago and forgot I had...so I decided to finish it off......
