Small Canvases

Hello fellow bloggers and welcome to my contribution to Handmade Monday hosted by Wendy of 1st Unique Gifts, I'm a bit later than usual with my post this week and would like to show you a few of my Swirly Tree paintings.
If you look closely you can see a caterpillar and a snail in the grass, a dragonfly and a bee on the wing and a ladybird (ladybug) somewhere in the picture, these canvases are quite small, only 7 x 5 inches and I have listed one in my Folksy Shop HERE , I've also put a couple of these on display at Brandon Country Park along with the paintings shown in my previous post

The painting goes around the sides of the canvas.

Although at first sight they all look the same and even though they all have the same elements, tree,daisies, toadstools and creatures, each has been painted individually and has slight differences.

Black & White Swirly Tree






I decided to do a black and white version with just one bit of colour, this has the centre of the daisies in yellow, I also done another with the red of the toadstools and ladybird being the only colour.
Unfortunately, I don't know if it was a blip with the camera or more likely a blip by me but that photograph didn't turn out and the picture has already gone to it's new owner.

I really enjoy painting these, they go really well with my Fairy Doors.

If you haven't already been over to see Wendy I hope you can pop over and see what she has been up to with Theo Paphitis of Dragons Den fame.

I read all the blogs that take part of the linky party but it may take a while before I get around all of you.

Wishing you all well

Swirly Tree & Daisies on Canvas

What lovely weather we have had the last few days, today we took advantage of the weather and rode to Wells Next to the Sea, a lovely coastal town in Norfolk, it was still a bit chilly on the coast, well it is still March, but lovely and warm out of the breeze, it was great to go out without thermals on.

We then rode to Hunstanton for lunch, on the way we saw....

AA Call Box and our V Max

There are only about 19 of these AA Call Boxes left, some are in museums, this one is on the A149 at Brancaster.
As for crafting, this week I've been busy sewing my critters (see previous post) but no photographs of those as yet, and painting canvases for my up and coming show.

I believe it's going to be another dry and sunny week so I'm hoping to get some gardening in and maybe doing a bit of jet washing before a hosepipe ban comes into force.
 
I'm linking this post to 1st Unique Gifts blog as part of Wendy's Handmade Monday. Please pop over and have a nosey at what Wendy and all the other bloggers have been up to.
