Wow, that is just gorgeous!

Oh I love it - you talented little crafter you.

you might recognise the old derelict building from a previous painting but thats gone now and hanging on some rellies wall so ive done one for the exhibition

It's such a peaceful view, Kim - thought I recognised it, but it's worth repeating.

Lynda

I thought it looked familair too, lovely both times. Liking the frame too.

love this picture kim.

It's lovely, Kim. Really lovely.

Do you paint from your head, photo's or real life?

Kim, this is really gorgeous. I love it.

this one is from a photo i took in a small village we walked through while on the canals going down to stratford on avon , i cant for the life of me remember the name of the village though , it was a very expensive looking place though , this building was an old derelict workshop behind all the houses

i also paint from magazines and books too , but you have to be careful about copyright on those 2 so prefer to paint from my photos . i have also been known to paint from sketches ive made while on my travels

i love this building

now with very very critical eye i have to say, i love the building, the flowers fgrowing up the wall, the holes in the roof etc..but my god!! where is the un-tethered GOAT!!!!!! there really should be a goat...don't you think????

Apart from that, i would buy that super creation...it is just up my street..a bit like Heidi's grandfathers cottage.

silly suzy ,,,the goat is INSIDE the building !!

aw..but i can't see him...can he just be half in and half out of the door please......

do you sell your paintings then? at the exhibition.

Oh Kim - that is beautiful! I'd love to be able to paint. I can draw a bit, with charcoal or pencils, but watercolours are just beyond me altogether.

Even I knew that !!!

This is stunning. Even my son says you are a very talented painter.

ooh i dont know about talented joy , i enjoy it though its very relaxing !!

the paintings at the exhibition are for sale but ive never sold one yet , id be shocked if i did to be honest as i think they are rubbish ! i just put some in to the exhibition to try to encourage people to join the group , it shows them that you dont have to be a professional to join us

Do you really think that Kim ?? I don't. Me thinks you need a confidence boost
because everyone here loves it.

Rubbish???? I beg to differ, Kim!

What a talent you've got Kim, it's gorgeous.

aaaw you are all so lovely saying nice things about my paintings , i see the others work at art group and compared to them mine are not too clever i tell you .honest , maybe im expecting too much of myself seeing as i have only been painting about 3 years , give or take a few months

Beautiful

Don't knock yourself Kim, its fab.
