The above is a Calla Lily I painted in Acrylics and then framed it with Photo Flexer (free digital programme)
Canvas 18 x 12 inches is drying on the easel. The canvas has been painted over numerous times but have never liked the results. This time painted various shades of blue, then used modelling paste over a stencil, its still not dry. What will happen next have no idea............so its a wait and see jobby.
A page taken from my Sketch Book, background created with Pic Monkey (free digital programme), the lady on the left is an angel but using the background her wings got rather lost, still it was fun to do.
We went to the Castle Theatre in Wellingborough on Tuesday to have a coffee and popped upstairs to see the latest Art Exhibition, such a joy to see, paintings were by a local artist Brenda McKetty (Painter/Illustrator), mostly whimsical seaside scenes, but it was the colours she used that thrilled me, wonderful joyful colours which made me smile.
Hubby had his 'op Wednesday and arrived home at 10.15 pm, good to have him home safely. He has to go again in February for more Stents but they will keep him in hospital this time as he has to have quite a few.
Playtime over as have to get my Christmas Heart Tags finished. Thank you for dropping by and wishing you a lovely weekend, stay warm and safe. Hugs Annette x

Beautiful lily! But my favorite is that drying canvas. Wow, it looks very promising, really curious what you'll be doing with it!
Your cala Lilly is beautiful. Can't wait to see what you do with your canvas. I live the blue texture and stencil you used.

Great work on all. Love the canvas, looks great. Have a great day and thanks Netty. Your work is always awesome.:)
I love your Calla, it is my favorite flower!
Good to sew you back netty. Glad all is going well for your husband and he recovers well before the next operation. I like your calla lilt-i had wine coloured ones for my wedding bouquet. I really really like the canvas with the blue and putty. The texture is gorgeous and it looks like a blue sky with wonderful wispy clouds!
Lovely flower art! Happy PPF!

sweet and powerful creations. Best wishes for you and your husband.
Hi Netty! The canvas is terrific with a lot of texture. I wonder if you will do some kind of acrylic color wash over it? Can't wait to see what happens next.
All 3 are lovely, I would love some wallpaper from the middle one, so rich and elegant looking! Glad hubby is home and under your loving care. ~Diane

Beautiful flower and I like your drawing of the (I guess) mother and daughter :) I always get restless when I have to wait for something to dry.. now I'm still more trying out watercolors.. (I've used most acrylics earlier..)

Love the calla. I haven't been to the party in a long time either, so I was delighted to see your work. Hope your husband does okay. I love the blue work in progress and wonder who or what will emerge from it. Keep creating!

Your calla lily is just beautiful! I really like the background in the gentle blue and white - I can't wait to see what it will become! So glad your husband is home - hope all goes well for the future, too!
I absolutely love your Calla Lily's clean lines and bold colors. It's such a pleasure to come visit your blog again. Blessings, my friend!
I love you Lily and I can't wait to see where you take you canvas - the texture paste should give it a very interesting finish!
