Painted pieces this week

Not a great photo of this lovely painting. This project, Kakado, published in the Fine Art & Decorative Painting, Vol 17-No 3 Looks great painted. Mattisse paints are used and it is really a good lesson in background painting with blending and glazing colours.

A challenge, but a very enjoyable painting.

Easy to paint Orchids, as featured in the Folk & Decorative Painting, Vol 12-No 8.

Some students have painted this project at home without any help, instructions are very good.

I bought this frame from the local second hand shop, has a pine frame that I painted with Naples yellow hue & Gold pen.
