Two more- The Palladian Bridge (which is in the grounds of Prior Park College, Bath). I had not been painting long and I put this in the art section of the village flower show and to my surprise it was given first prize!

A change from the usual Christmas Card - Poinsettias!

Last two - 'an that's yer lot!

The first picture is a commission I did for a work colleague who was leaving Bath. She picked on this scene - and it was a pig to do! Not only was it front on which was not good, but it was covered with virginia creeper, and I did not have any idea how to do it. Anyway, this was the finished result and the 2nd photo is a close up which shows the foliage more.

Thanks everyone for being such a lovely and complimentary audience!

Love the Palladian Bridge DL

I'm absolutely agog at your talent, DL. There isn't one picture there I don't like.

That eagle is wonderful.

Wow! DL they are brilliant, many congratulations.

Thanks everyone!

Monsy - I have emailed you, have you picked up on it?

They are all lovely DL. I wish I had some sort of talent for something creative.

*running off to check - NOW!*

Monsy - I have emailed you the first picture. I had to reduce it to half size to get it to send. Hope it gets into your email OK. If you then put it into your photo editing suite and enlarge it by 200 it prints out on an A4 sheet and does not appear to have lost pixels on the way.

Rowan - do you want to keep this topic up for, say a month, then delete it? I am aware it must be using quite a lot of resources.

I feel so inadequate all of a sudden, such talent DL thanks for sharing.

Thanks DL, I got it! I will have a play and print it out.........

Whilst searching for the originals to re-scan and send to Monsy, I have found a load more. I will not put them up right now because I don't want to fell the Rowan Tree but, if Rowan or Oddquine like to remove this topic at the end of the month, I will post some more.

Thank you everyone for your kind words - they are giving me confidence to go ahead and paint some more!

Why not put them in the Album DL? (At the top where the smilies albums are)

They are all beautiful DL - can't wait to see some more of them.

Resources don't get used up as much with more threads with a few pictures, DL, as bandwidth only gets used when a thread is read.

You could stop posting pictures in this one, and start another one with some more.

About what you have on this one per thread would be OK.

Cracking paintings, by the way...........wish I had any kind of artistic talent!
