I See You ... yes, I do!

I See You

My lovely little boy.. Paddy.
Love it when he has his "laughing" face on, and the bright colours enhance that feel of lightness and happiness. My precious boy.

Perfect day!

I had an enjoyable day over at my friend Beryl's .
We had one of our painting days, that happen every so often, when we can fit them in.

Coffee, chat, paint a sky, trip to the greenhouse, paint the pond.
Cup of soup, toasted teacake, paint the bridge.
You get the drift. :)

Its the most enjoyable day going, painting, laughing, the company of a good friend.

Here's the painting:

Perfect Day

Practice!

Every day, practice.
Draw something, paint something.

It doesn't have to be a full picture, but practice you must.

How else will your masterpiece be a masterpiece, unless the elements are done competently? How will you ever improve?

All these things said to me on my artistic journey by my tutors.

I think practicing your drawing and painting skills are a little like life really.
The more effort you put in to it, the more you get from it.

I wonder how many hours a day DaVinci spent drawing?
I think I'd feel like a slacker in comparison !

Daily practice, I do it.
Really, its enjoyable and not a chore at all .
