:) thanks..jsut finished it this afternoon.
Now you need to find a buyer for me! haha

AYe well..wish they'd snap all my paintings up! lol
Just sold one to a woman in Kuala lumpar! Now i hvae to find the best and cheapest way to send it! :)

you wouldnt have to ship the koi ~ they could swim!!!

LOL!!!!!!!!

My word - I actually thought they were real! Class

absolutely brilliant, I actually thought it was a photo,

Like Paul, I too thought they were real!

Wow thanks :)

Me too, had to look close. Brill Pixi! Lovely painting.

Thanks Lulu :)

Jeez Pixi - I looked at this and thought that must be some pond Pixi has in her garden - then I read your comments.....amazing :))
Maybe a holiday to hand deliver it :))

WOW,Pixi..that is fantastic..you are so talented..I do hope you get a buyer for this..I'm sure you will..:o))

Ah Scottish this isnt the painting I sold to the lady in Kuala Lumpar..I jsut did this recently..not buyer as yet lol anyway no way I could afford a holiday!! LOL!
Thanks Bloomer :)

Well then you need to add a small 'Holiday Surcharge' on your paintings...it will soon mount up and you will have enough :)

Hah! I would have to sell all of them henny! THings to pay..you know..:)

Fabulous painting pixi!!!

Great painting Pixi...Oils? Water is one of the most difficult things to paint well done.

Thanks Lil..where ya been? :)
No its acrylic Lindak..usually I work in oils though, thank you :)

What can I say, everyones said it already...but it is Fan-tab-u-lous...well done you....x

Thanks Sue :))) x

You're welcome...x

What a fantastic painting!

Thanks COnstance :)

Hi Pixi! Sorry I'm not able to keep up! :(
Great painting, hen - lovely flow - love it! :)))))x
Thought about COD DHL/TNT?

I jsut dont know which is best! and cheapest,..i ahve a lot to sort out!
Thanks Karen :)

Try Fedex too Pixi....they are all over Asia

Are you going to get the money before it leaves the country? Can you get a quote and add it to the price?

Which painting did you sell Pixi?

thanks i've checked out dhl etc going to tke parcel to PO tomorrow see what it is jsut for airmail. :) I told lady if it was more than £20 she would have to pay it :)
Blue Sea Lulu :)

Try Parcel Force Worldwide Pixi, Royal Mail will be more expensive. Ask for both prices at the PO.

Going there ytomorrow..just got it all parcelled up..oh yeah you work for them dont you! lol Looks like it will cost about 35 pounds. :)

That's not too bad, really, is it? All the shipping should be down to her though...charge her the extra and for insurance!!!

We used to send boxes of pots all over Europe and the USA...if you make sure that you have packed according to their guidelines, the insurance is definitely worth taking in case of loss or damage... :)))

Have never used acrylics, Pixi, and I'm thinking of having some materials shipped out here...how do they compare to oils? (Going to be pretty bored soon....)
:) x

Well acrylics dry much quicker! sometiems too wuick.but you can get stuff to mix to lengthen the working time. We use acrylics in classes. Tho i do prefer oils ad the smell of linseed oil and turps! :)))

That's what I was thinking...but I'll have to get one of the divers to bring the stuff over and he might have trouble getting chemicals through security...lol!

It's just an idea, right now...don't really know what to do with myself...

Not going back out again, after yesterday's incident, til they get us a decent car!! :((

well get acrylics..cant you order them and canvases on the net? or do some mosaics!
Yesterdays incident? what happeend?

Ha! That's what I thought before I got here and realised that it's actually like a different planet! lol! No, things will have to be brought in.....

Well, they gave us a Pajero (a good vehicle) but it got written off before I got here (with Nigel in it!) by a truck with failed brakes...So the only vehicle left in the yard was a beat up Toyota pick-up...

We got stopped by some really aggressive policemen yesterday...in 'The Village' (scary place) and they let the air out of one of the tyres...I thought they were going to arrest the driver and leave me stranded! It was really frightening...

They wouldn't have stopped a decent car...... :(

What!!!!!!!!! OMG! henny are you safe???????????????

Oh and by the way..jsut rewrapped painitng in bubblewrap and brpwn paper it jsut made the limit for airmail..so only jsut over 20pounds :))))) fedex etc were about 50! I thought it went by size but apparanlty its just the weight so thats great! So see? size doesnt matter! hahah dont beleive i jsut wrote that! of course it does! LOl ;) x

OMG as well Karen!!! Try to be careful and safe but not a prisoner.
So right Pixi, so right :)))))

Haha! LOL! Good for you, Pixi! That's great!

The MD has already said yes to the new car...and the driver is in serious trouble for putting me in harm's way...

On the bright side, I went out to the boat club for lunch today (in the compound) with a Welsh lady who lives around the corner...She showed me a lovely swimming pool and fitness centre which I can join...and two shops which I didn't know existed!!! :)))

Not going out again until we have the new car.............!

well thats nice going out for lunch! there you go now you have places to go :))))

keep safe karen.

That's not such good news Karen, you must have been in a terrible state. Were they asking for money? Will the driver lose his job?
I would say more but I may cause another hoo haa!!!
It's good that you have met someone to socialise with, a swimming pool and fitness centre - you are going to get fit then!!! What kind of shops are they?
It's a pity you can't get out and about as much as you would like - you could have taken up photography and got your quicky click doo dah camera you were wanting - that would have been a realy good reason to buy :)))

excellent painting Pixi, recognised the subject straight away from Sticki's photo tother day! Used to have koi carp so a favourite subject.

Beautiful and now it seems inspirational fish!

THanks :)

nice fishies pixi ;o)

Not something I'd normally paint! lol
