I follow many blogs and have in turn decided to nominate 5 blogs that are different to my watercolour blog. They are all busy bloggers, all versatile and all under 150 followers (the criteria being 200).
http://pencilpix.blogspot.co.uk - Sue Clinker. Her drawings of animals and her portraits literally take your breath away, there are a few interesting articles there too.
http://carolebaker.blogspot.co.uk - Watercolour and guache. I particulary admire her still life and her work in January when she did a beautiful work of art every single day! Amazing) (she also runs another blog)
http://cotswoldsketchbook.blogspot.co.uk - Nigel Fletcher. (you may notice it as Painting adventures in the Limousin, it's the same blog). I love these fluid oil paintings anything from landscapes to flowers and even Noddy and Big Ears. If a painted in oils this is how I would like to paint.
http://gardenartjournal.blogspot.co.uk - Kat Farmer/vanHookens (this site is similarly called an artists journal) and is a delightful personal diary of exquisite paintings plus description, and a variety of other paintings too.
http://nuggletonbythesea.blogspot.co.uk and yes it a friend of mine. Lesley Nugent. If it wasn't for her I would never have started blogging. Her blog shows the power of blogging and facebook as she now has work in an online gallery. She paints naive paintings in watercolour and you can follow every step of each fun filled painting.
I hope I have introduced you to blogs you perhaps may not be aware of. Please pop over for a visit and I hope you enjoy my choices.
May I take this opportunity of saying how wonderful it is that people like and follow and comment on my blogs. I love it! I follow many and while I may not comment very often, I do look at each one and take inspiration from them. So I thank you for looking and thank you again Sharon.
Thank you so much Polly .... I love your sense of humour and your artwork so this is a great honour:-)
ReplyDeleteI've literally just popped home from manning the current exhibition and hubby is going to whisk me out for a Curry (sadly not as a result of wonderful sales, more a 'never mind' we'll survive until you are dead and your pictures worth a fortune)!!
Seriously, I'm dead chuffed at the award and will look at it all properly tomorrow morning.
Thanks a million
ps: so pleased that's under 150 ....... followers, not years!! I just about qualify on both counts
ReplyDeleteOh I thought it was an award for wrinklies under 150 and that was I got it. Oh Well. Sorry you didn't sell any masterpieces but I still think it's a buzz seeing your work exhibited.
DeleteThank you Ina, you are very kind.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Polly, you really deserve it !
ReplyDeleteHow lovely of you. Thank you. There are so many inspirational blogs out there it took me a week to decide who to pass the award on to.
DeleteCongratulations on the award and thank you so much for passing it on to me. I'm glad to find the other blogs you mentioned.
ReplyDeleteIt's a pleasure Carole. I love both of your blogs and it was hard to choose between them. I especially love your still life and your use of watercolour and guache. But your 30 days of paintings were superb. I am glad I found your blogs. Look forward to continuing to follow you. :)
DeleteCongratulations! I will have to visit the blogs you nominated and see what I'm missing!
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to come across new blogs to follow, hope you like at least one of them.
DeleteHi, Polly,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Have fun and keep up!!
Best wishes, Sadami
Thank you. Was a lovely surprise. I enjoy writing in my blog and meeting new friends, like yourself. An award shows people enjoying reading it.
