'Sweet Beth' was drawn and painted in one of my practice art books with Acrylics.

| Devotion is a heavy cross, but you are lovely and direct; the mystery of your attractions is powerful as the key of life (Boris Pasternak (1890-1960) |
and again..........
Last week at Art class we took random words and had to choose how to paint their meaning.......colours and abstract shapes. Then we placed our paintings on the table and muddled the words up and tried to guess from each others paintings the correct word...............mmmmm the tutor told us her other class this week scored very highly, (if memory serves me right she said 95% success) 'oops our class didn't even get 50% of them, methinks that class cheated, don't you.............lol
This Friday we are painting petals and leaves................cripes that means flowers and am hopeless at flowers and avoid them like the plague, so had better get practicing before tomorrow...........
Have a great weekend everyone and all at Paint Party Friday. Take care, hugs Annette xx

Love what you have done here Annette.xxx
Love your painting in the teacup!!!
You are full of inventiveness and creativity.A true artist!
Netty, she's lovely. She looks so sad, definitely carrying a heavy cross. Obviously the other class cheated or they had really really easy words, like blue, red, yellow. Am sure you'll have the hang of those petals in no time. We have had rain rain and more rain here. I would rather the rain than the snow. Unless it's enough snow to stay home... :) ps...amazing what you find in teacups these days..
gorgeous painting, love the color of her hair! Greetings karin
Beautiful period portrait - and the glowing hair is matched by the intensity of her eyes - wonderful!

Nope leaves can mean trees, or cups of tea, or the leaves of a wonderful book. So many things. Thank you so much for visiting my blog.
This is beautiful Annette! ~Diane
She looks beautiful, I love the way you did the her image in the tea cup.

She looks wonderful and has a real Renaissance feel to her! Loving the cushion too!
Beautiful Netty. I love what you do with your work. So much fun.
I love how you printed her onto cloth and made the pillow but how did you ever do the tea cup? It must be photo shop right? Love all three versions Netty.
Another beautiful work of art Annette, she is lovely and doesn't she look great on the cushion and in the cup of tea

Dear Netty, your 'Sweet Beth' is beautiful. I love look on her face and her hair. Have a lovely PPF!!!
So wonderful your painting and I love the idea of that cup!
Yes, bright colors, exquisite face. Precious in the teacup.
Delicious and beautiful portrait.
Beautiful art as always, Annette :) x
She is so lovely... not sure I want her in my tea though...lol
I guess if she washes her hands first I'd consider it!!
Happy ppf!

Your Beth is a beauty :-). good for you to take these classes, and about the teacher, sometimes they just want to pull your leg!
Just dig into a heap of leaves and flowers, they will come out very well I'm sure.
Have a great weekend!

Love your lady, she is so beautiful and refined! She reminds me of an old world painting with that expression and the way you did here dress- just gorgeous!
Have fun with the flowers, I know you can do it!

Happy PPF!!

She is lovely and she looks so great on that pillow! Painting the meaning of random words ... phew ... way too abstract for me. That other class must've cheated surely ;-) Good luck with your flowers! they're not my favorite either ...(at least not to paint)
That sounds like a tough challenge, painting the meaning of words in abstract shapes and colours! Love your painting, she looks beautiful!
Nice girl in the teacup, I love it. Saludos
Gorgeous painting paired with beautiful words. I think the other class must've cheated. ;) And I always love how you play around.

Netty, your sweet Beth is amazing! You do such gorgeous paintings. I have no idea how you put her into a pillow but I guess it's done with photoshop.
She makes a beautiful pillow top! She has such a wonderful expression on her lovely face. Makes me want to have a conversation with her! HPPF! Have fun with those flowers!
how lovely, makes me think of a young Queen Elizabeth a bit!
Ah, Netty! Another beautiful painting, and your photo editing is fantastically funny!
Good luck with the flowers ... try daisies. Nice flat flowers with a single ring of petals. :)
love these Netty!! She looks like a medieval maiden faire.Happy PPF!
She is lovely in various 'frames' ~ wonderful work ~ stay warm ~ having same weather in New England ~ brrrrrrrr! ~ Carol of : (A Creative Harbor) ^_^

I have one of those heart tea cups and love Sweet Beth floating in it... and that other class cheated big time for sure... hope the petals and leaves lesson goes well

Sweet Beth is wonderful! I am sure you do something wonderful with the flowers for your next class! Happy PPF!
That's awesome! What interesting ideas, love them!
such a wonderful painting, looks grand as a pillow.
i am thinking that you will get better with flowers and then love drawing them.
Love the tea cup pix..great job on her. HPPF
Oh, Netty! You always catch me off guard! I absolutely love your playful spirit and positive outlook. It is such a joy to stop by and see what you're up to. Sweet Beth is lovely. XO
Lovely painting, she looks sweet and beautiful! Great playing with the image, too, fun! <3
I love Sweet Beth - she's beautiful.
xxx Hazel.
She is lovely -- and what a beautiful surprise in the bottom of the tea-cup! Happy PPF!
I love your lady - and how you've played with the image. I am especially in love with her gorgeous red hair! Happy PPF
Wow! Sweet Beth is gorgeous, Annette. I believe you are going to surprise yourself when working on the flowers this week - Blessings!
It's amazing to see the painting in different manifestations. Perhaps you can think of your flowers as faces and make portraits of them. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.
Good Lord Annette!! Am I the last one to leave a comment!!!!! Your painting reminds me of the Middle Ages - you really are so talented and it is a joy to follow you --- I wonder how many creative ways I can come up with saying that. Besides the point -- my fingers hurt after scrolling down so far to leave you a comment. You have quite a fan following my dear heart!!
Sandy
She's lovely Netty...love her locks :)
You obviously enjoy every bit of what you do and it just shows!
HPPF :)
She`s beautiful, dear Netty! Love your painting. GREAT!!!!
Lovely painting and interesting class!
Doesn´t she look good framed like this toooo! Happy PPF to you too!
Brr even colder than here in London. She is wonderful- love her in the teacup too. Hope it warms up soon and you don't get too much rain. Happy PPF friend.
Pure delight!!!!!!!
thank you for dropping by!!
Love her! she makes one awesome pillow art. :)
Sweet Beth is sweet indeed:-) What a fun exercise to do- words expressed in abstract art. I think I'll try it w/my boys. May you find the flowers sweeter than you imagine.
Fabulous art and how wonderful in all her different homes....love the tea cup and yes I believe the other class cheated or even worse the teacher fibbed ! Stay warm
Marie
Loving your latest work. Your art class sounds truly inspiring. I think your teacher is pulling your leg about the other class! Can't wait to see your next painting with leaves and such. ♥ ~Rhonda
She is lovely - and worth "playing" with in different media.
I love the way you play. I design/sew pillows. I was very intrigued at how you developed the whole design process. Good art work. Blessings, Janet PPF
Beautiful painting. Love the tea cup.
Beth looks even more sweet in the cup of tea, Netty!
