Continuing my personal challenge 'something from each room in the house' now come with me into the kitchen which isn't brightly coloured. Light wood colour and terracotta cushion flooring. What could I choose, not a food mixer or pan, but some bright coloured really sharp knives that I came across whilst staying with friends. Well I had to find some, and got these in Marlborough. I love using them and looking at the cheerful colours when I'm doing boring things in the kitchen, or tears streaming down my face slicing onions!
Now come with me up the stairs and turn left into the bathroom. A friend bought me these small natural soaps. I couldn't resist painting them, it's a pity you can't smell them. They last ages. Wasn't that a nice thought.
Have a lovely week all of you and thank you so much for visiting my blog.
I keep seeing these lovely colourful knives in the shops Polly. Always wondered what they would be like to use. Both great sketches with cheerful fresh colours.
ReplyDeleteThey are Soooo sharp, I've never been enthusiastic about knives before! They have great colours. Thanks for your Sunday visit. Have a lovely week. xx
DeleteBoth subjects turned into lovely little paintings Polly, love your soap dish
ReplyDeleteThanks Lorraine. Soap nearly all gone!
DeleteI like your bright colors, lovely washes and beautiful loose style in these two paintings! Have a very nice week, Polly!
ReplyDeleteThank you and thanks for the visit. Great to paint in bright colours. Have a nice week too.
DeleteHi, Polly, I love your humour. The soaps look really nice... and appear like yammy jellies!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Sadami
Well I wouldn't like to try and eat them Sadami! thanks for looking at my blog
DeleteCrying tears of colors when you peeled onions, it's a bit like painting the watercolor :)
ReplyDeleteI love your colored subjects, your soaps make mr want to take a detour through your bathroom. Good week to you!
Thank you Lydie. I Love bright colours! Nice to speak to you.
DeleteThe soaps look good enough to eat! Have you tried the Moleskine yet?
ReplyDeleteThe soaps do look a bit like marshmallows! Yes got the small Moleskine book, done one w/c sketch and am really very pleased with it. Searched on the internet for Moleskine and eventually found it in a Book Shop classed as a journal, and not in an art shop. I will post the result later. Thanks for suggesting it to me.
DeleteLove the soaps ... but fair's fair, if we could smell the soaps we'd have been able to smell the trainers you posted recently.
ReplyDeleteThat made me chuckle I can tell you! Well remembered! Thanks for your visit. :)
DeleteI have some ceramic knives exactly like these, Pink and teal blue I believe. I'd have never thought of painting them as you have... you've made them so appealing looking.
ReplyDeleteThanks. It's the colour that made me want to paint them!
DeleteI like those colorful knives and I'll bet those soaps smell wonderful. Nice sketches!
ReplyDeleteThank you Joan.
DeleteThese are wonderful - love the color! And you really captured the translucent quality of those gorgeous soaps!
ReplyDeleteAnn, thanks for your comments
DeleteThank you Ann, and thanks for commenting!
ReplyDeleteThese studies around the house are a lesson to us all that anything can be painted, we just need the imagination to do it as you have here... well done with your series Polly... the only limit is our imagination!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Judith, it's an interesting exercise.
Deletebrilliant sketches polly both are so bright and cheerful ....soaps are excellent ...i love moleskine sketchbooks there is a watercolour moleskine journal A4 landscape that is beautiful to paint on .
