An Acrylic painting I have been working on

your painting of the glassware is amazing!!!
i can see another picture in the background that i recognise!!
beautiful pictures!!
i dont know how you do it

You are so creative, Bjs. Your pictures are as beautiful as your garden. Thank you for sharing both with us.

That is brilliant Brian.....please don't worry about the dark nights yet, lots of time to find inspiration in your garden :o))

That is really very very good Brian. Well done

Love your pictures Brian,you are a clever fellow :-))

That is just brilliant Brian, I love it.

beautiful painting Bjs,have tried acrylics and made no headway at all. Do you paint in other mediums?
I dabble in water colours and drawing myself .
The glassware is very well executed and the flowers so lifelike great work:)

so much went into this painting, I have been looking at it for a while & there is so much subtlety going on its fascinating. Beautiful & peaceful Bj.

Such lovely colours, and I particularly like the subtle background.

Amazing BJ love it very very good especially the glass!

Surprised you had problems with Acrylic,always considered water colour and oil more difficult to master.I have in the past used oil but find it messy and smelly(sorry Linda) its for the professionals,as for water I have watched and admired water colour artists but never really been tempted.
Have used Pastels they are rewarding to use but again you can get in a right mess.Or least I can.lol

Bjs...How talented are you?...This is beautiful...:>)

oooh, that's lovely, well done you! I wish I had half your talent :)

How the flowers compliment the glass and vase, lovely painting.

wow Brian im loving this jug and vase so realistic.
its all so pretty, i would love to be able to paint still life, will have a go when i have time :o))

San, these days for me its a winter time hobby

i can understand that, i did more during winter but now summer is on its way Brian i will probably just do tuesday at the studio and occasional monday afternoon at friends home, i love being outside when the weather is nice and being with my garden :o))

Oh well done. Just love that jug and glass. Great still life.

That's absolutely brilliant Brian. Interesting how those of us who dabble have different likes . . . I enjoy playing with watercolour, and have inherited pastels from my mum, but don't like the mess! Strange, as I'm perfectly happy with earth in my fingernails . . .

Great work there! Like Sheila I have dabbled in pastels but do my "work" in acrylics. I really like it because it's less messy than oils and very malleable...so many techniques you can cross over with...from oil techniques to watercolour, and produce amazing effects. :-)!

Thanks Homebird.
Paeony in flower yet?

I posted pics of mine and a day later they looked a mess.and thats not the only one P.Tenuifolia looks as though the buds may rot with out opening,Good job so things like a lot of rain

You talented person, Brian. That's lovely. Agree with the various people who have observed how well you have painted the glass- it is indeed a gorgeous shade of green.
