what a lovely picture, i wouldnt even know where to start to do something like that.

I love it..

Now that's what i call talent !
You've got a real gift there, Pp :-)

Another lovely painting,Carole..love the little dog..does the name,Mead cottage have any significant historical connection? I know you told us it was very old..I can see now why you both loved it so much...:o)

Another fabulous painting Carole! Love it all especially the collie there, you clever, clever lady, lets have more please!

Brilliant .........

Many thanks to everyone for all your encouragement and lovely comments.
The original name of the cottage was Long Mead, which means long Meadow, the cottage itself dates back to 1765 it was very tiny, there are 7 cottages on Rabbit Lane all different sizes ours was the smallest and it is said that the Groom who worked at Mottram Old Hall lived there, a truly magical place;0)

Thanks for that,Carole..I am always interested in the history of old places..or just plain nosey ! Lol..you decide..:o)

It's another interesting painting that one could walk into and what's around the corner......It's lovely to hear about the history of the place too. Old buildings have a certain feel about them and with old stone and thick walls it certainly gives them character. WHen we lived at East Lodge 1795 It had some of the original 3 planked oak latch doors and leaded windows also a small cellar with two large hooks and stone benches. Probably used as a store for food as it was cool down there. When we decorated we found an original small fireplace too. Our cat used to sense something in the downstairs lounge sometimes and flatten herself, crawling along watching and following it up into our bedroom. I know we had a Ley line through the garden that ran through the bathroom and kitchen because I took an evening course of dowsing lessons, then dowsed the garden and found it.

Such a beautiful painting Pp.think you should send these to a card manufacturer....

Its brill Carole.

lovely PP :)

Two lovely paintings Pp...Very atmospheric....:>)

Fantastic, love it!

Thanks to you all for your lovely comments-
Lindak, East lodge sounds wonderful have you any pictures?

Grandmage just paint for enjoyment, I did sell a few paintings a few years ago, but havent painted since we moved to the bungalow, but all the lovely comments on here is making me think I should like to start again , so watch this space.

Thanks Carol, Holly Moti and LuLu so pleased you like it;0)

We do, we do, it's enchanting.

;0)))

You should get back into it Carole you are very talented , these pictures are so good :o))

Love it, you are so talented. A magical place.

Thank you Amy and and Dawn Im so pleased you like them and Im starting to get itchy fingers now;0))

Winter's coming so a good excuse to get the brushes and paints out......I use the ironing board to paint from as I can adjust it to the right height for resting my artpad on and there's enough space for the water jar, paintbox and brushes too. The more you paint the more you will want too really get going. Good Luck......Linda

Thanks Linda, what a good idea using your ironing board, will have to give it a go;0) I have been organising my paint cupboard today and giving my paint boxes a clean, so I may start next week, how could I not with all the lovely comments and your encouragement , will let you have a look at my first attempt ;0)

I am in awe of your artistic talent, Carole ... wonderful painting ... :o)))

Thanks Shirley so pleased you like it ;0)

I get the feeling that this doggy is not all that keen on snow! In the other painting he looks reluctant to go walking and in this one he looks as though he's saying 'look, darned snow again' ! :))

Lol Karen he was Sam the farm dog who used to visit us at Rabbit Lane, he knew I would be there with a treat;0)

He's lovely! It must have been hard to leave that cottage, it's picture postcard perfect..looks like a dream home!

Thanks Karen it was a very special place, I just finished another painting if you would like to look later;0)

Gosh, you are busy! :))

Just gt the bug again Karen;0)
