Rudbeckia 'Irish Mist'

Wow, you are very talented. Love it.

I'm sure Pauline will be as delighted with it as we are. I think you capture the essence of the flowers because you have such a good eye for detail. Beautiful butterfly too.

It's brilliant!

who's a clever boy then? multi talented. well done.

As per spec! Lost in admiration - she must he delighted!

It is absolutely beautiful, Brian. You are so talented.

Thanks for your comments it looks to me rather harsh in the picture ,it is in real life a little softer easier on the eye

Its fabulous Brian I'm sure Pauline is very happy with it , you are very talented in more ways than one ...

You have my admiration as well Bjs. I am impressed.

A talented lot ...GOYers....Id love to be able to paint like this.

Most ladies start with watercolour if that is the case Acrylic is quite different you can use in a number of ways it can be quite forgiving compared to water you can use it thick like oil paint and very thin for washes and all other things in between.being water based you don't normally get in the mess a lot do with oil although that only applies to amateurs like me, certainly not to Linda in Scotland.

Paul you start with painting walls and work your way down to something more comfortable

Brian, that is bloody lovely, beautiful small tortishell.

Well that fits the brief...it's lovely and soo cheerful .

Dave added the tortoiseshell for you but it did not enlarge that well

Beautifully done, I think you must have been exceeded expectations. It is really lovely.

wow I love it

WOW!!! That's fabulous, Brian! I had no idea you knew how to paint! You done a great painting, looks quite life-like! Well done! I'd dearly love to hang that on our living room wall to admire every day!

It is cheerful and from what you have said I think it will suit your room, I bet Pauline loves it Brian, I personally don't find it harsh at all, I do like the added touch of the butterfly....

Fabulous !!!! love it and it certainly does brighten the day.

Brian this is great artwork. I used to paint in oils, but I now paint in watercolours and Acrylics.

oh, wow!!! I come to your site to look at Jamie, and here are these wonderful paintings. You are a professional???

Professional no I took up painting with a very good artist teacher in 1999 just before I retired, I attended her classes for about 5 years but we stayed in touch for several years beyond that the only paintings I have been paid for are ones of dogs,I painted about 20 of them over several years ,that excludes 3 of Jamie which are shown on this site somewhere.
I don't recommend you look for them probably take hours if you want to see one I will repost it.
