EASTER CHALLENGE - THE END

Here are the last paintings (bar one which I cannot publish yet) of my Easter Challenge, where I asked you bloggers and fb friends to give me subjects to paint over the Easter Holiday.

Anenome - Ruth H Harris (nervous doing this as she is a beautiful flower painter)

A neighbour asked me to paint her house Carol Hodge, this picture was taken when we had such a long cold white winter

Albert Dock, Liverpooo - Val Downie - She suggested somewhere locally.  I took this picture in the summer. It is right near the Beatles Story exhibition, and the band were singing Beatles songs.  I cropped the painting so the conentration was on the father and son Liverpool Football Club supporters

Lupins - Judith Farnworth - very kind of her seeing as I don't like painting flowers!

Neglected corner - Joanne Boon Thomas - Brush and bleach.  Spot the Easter interlopers

Self Portrait - Laura Moore - rather flattering I think!

Sloth - actually two and the picture is from PMP Clare Smith.  Found this looks rather stripey, perhaps a new rare species of lesser striped sloth.

Thank you all for commenting and following my Challenge.

Now then, have a wonderful weekend (early wishes) but won't be posting for a while as I am burned out painting.

  2. Polly, you've created an amazing series of beautiful watercolors. I admire and envy your ability to stick to painting and always find the time for it. My favourites are: the cream cake (yummy!), the anemone (of course), lupins, and believe it or not - farm equipment. I like the texture in it, it is so suiting the subject.

    1. I just don't like to stick to one subject - variety is the spice of life! It proves to me what I need to work on trying all the different subjects. Thank you for looking at my work on this blog. So good of you.

  5. Polly these works just show how diverse you are at painting so many different subjects so well. Naturally flowers are my favorite and that anemone is gorgeous. Have a great day.
