Happy Mother's Day to all mothers. I have just received a beautiful bouquet of flowers from my daughter and I am about to go and visit my 92 year old mother who is such an inspiration to me: she has her own apartment, she still drives, she cooks, sews and paints. And she never complains!
This week, I also received a DVD that I had ordered from Jacqueline Gnott: the Queen - painting a white peony. I have watched it twice and now will probably do the "paint-along" with Jacqueline.
I wish you all a great week.
Christiane
Have fun with the mouth atomizer! I've only used mine a couple of times, still prefer a light mist from a spray (not enough lung capacity!!!) I look forward to seeing the paint-along with Jacqueline's DVD, her work is amazing.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day! Can't wait to see what you do with the new toy :) and the new DVD teaching.
ReplyDeleteDeb and Rhonda,
ReplyDeleteI promise to post my poor attempts at using the atomizer and following Jacqueline's expert brushstrokes. It may be very humbling for me:-)
Happy belated Mother's Day! Your mother is certainly an inspiration to all of us. Good luck with your paint along. Great way to learn.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mary. I have ordered two more DVDs from Susie Short this time...I have dozens of hours of painting ahead if I want to do all three paint-alongs.
ReplyDeleteI can certainly see why your Mother is an inspiration - wow! I have a mouth atomizer but haven't tried it yet so I certainly will be watching to see what you do. Have fun with your new DVDs.
ReplyDeleteI wish you joy with your new toy!! Oh I'm a poet!! and look forward to seeing results.
ReplyDeleteOver here in England mothers day is during March but I enjoyed your lovely lily to celebrate.
Vicki, so far, I have just managed to spray my kitchen wall instead of my paper, but I will keep trying:-)
ReplyDeleteJoan, oh boy...you are poetic :-)I will play with this new toy until I can produce something worth showing.
The lily was part of the bouquet I received from my daughter...it is only a picture at this point, but I may decide to paint it one of these days.
Christiane! I can't wait to see what you do witht he atomizer. I have thought of getting one too... but haven't managed it yet.
ReplyDeleteSrishti, I have only played once or twice with it so far. I am sure that I will eventually use it...I think it offers a lot of possibilities. I found it at my local art supply store for just a few dollars.
