horses at the wall

I like this one Sandra..well done ..dont think it needs anything added to it at all..:o)

Wow Sandra this is great it has a real modern abstract feel with the way you have painted the stone wall and you have done a really good job of the horses, I like it alot;0))

Love it very much Sandra!

thankyou joan, may leave then if you think its ok, glad you like it :o))

Well done Sandra.....Thats brilliant .......

thanx maureen, glad you like it :o))

Love the atmosphere in this San. I can see a really 'illustrative' style evolving in your work....just a thought!

Well,well,San...That is brilliant! I love it,and recognised it from my pic,straight away..I don't think it needs changing at all either..and your dry stone walling is so good.I like the way you have captured their manes,blowing in the wind..and it really was windy,so high up there,even though it was a lovely sunny day...you have done a great job..going on my favourite,naturally ! Lol.

A wonderful painting San. brilliant. love the horses and the hills in the background, dont change anything.

Hi Sanbaz, I realy like this one, You have captured it very well. Keep on painting love to see them :)

San you are going from strength to strength, Baz must be so proud of you, well done you.

Thats really good! :)))) Love the wall!

Definitely your photo Bloomer...Well captured San.

I agree,Pimpernel..and first attempt at Animals too..just great.:o)

I agree with the others its lovely as it is and lovely horses-- you're a natural!

Another lovely painting ... there's no stopping you, San ... well done! ... :o)))

Ahhh thats a nice one sandra... just seen bloomers pic of this, you have done it lovely... :)

This is really good :-)

Well done Sandra this is really good, I love all of it. I'm wondering what you're going to come up with next!

thanx karen for you support as always :o))
thanx sandra, glad you like it, as you see i only painted two horses and changed the background slightly, i felt i needed to focus on two horses and make them the focal point :o))
cheers Grandmage :o))
thanx sue, looking out for next subject now lol :o))
thanx Dotty, baz is quite proud even though he occasionally mentions the cost of my hobby and how many painting iv done so far haha, but he always tells me he likes what iv done :o))
cheers Pixi art lady haha, glad you like it :o))
thanx Pimpernel, think i make harder work for myself as i never draw anything first, just paint :o))
thankyou Pam so kind :o))
cheers shirley and Holly glad you both like it to :o))
thanx Mavis, joe`s room will be covered in painting when he`s home lol :o))
Hi lily glad you like this one, just looking for my next challenge now :o))

This is an excellent painting, Sandra, even more when it's your first shot at painting animals. Well done! :-))

Thats really nice San ! and for a first attempt at animals , you wouldn't think so ,well done ........

San I wanted to ask you what you paint on... my art group leader wants me to do a bigger painting next year but the paper I have is 14" x 10" still thats probably enough white paper to cover.....
having an idea what to to, and what you feel you want to do is one of the difficulties and of course ( in my case) making it look like the idea!!!

Hi Balcony and thankyou so much for your kind comment :o))
cheers homebird very kind :o))
thankyou to Amy, i amazed myself to be honest, didnt think it would turn out like this :o))
Hi Pam, this size is 16"/12" Galeria acylic paper and i also use Daler rowney to as they are both good quality,
i havent done any bigger on paper but i would get these makes for acrylic in a bigger size if i intended painting a bigger picture, otherwise i use a canvas.
so really your size isnt much different to mine, also depends what you intend on painting, if i want inpact i use a canvas.
hope this helps, we have to paint a sky painting for our wall at art society and im hoping to go for a pink/red sky something dramatic.
it is hard to decided what to paint Pam, thats why i always take my camera out with me just incase i see something i would like to paint, and sometimes in the case of this one i liked bloomers photo so ask her if i could pinch it haha :o))
also remember when you like a photo just pick out parts rather than looking at the whole picture, then it doesnt seem so daunting,

true San, that why I find it difficult to paint outside-- its so big!!! its easier with a camera to frame a view to, as you say, just paint a bit!, thanks for your help..happy painting...:0))

your welcome Pam, happy painting to you to ;o)))

Lovely painting, Sandra :o)))

thankyou so much Terra :o))) glad you like it.

You have your own painting style ...
very attractive ..
In years to come in the Tate Gallery, visitors will say ..

ah, that picture is a "Sanbaz" ...
and there's another, and another ... lovely ... ;o)

haha nice thought Terra but think my local library will be my fame :o))) x

Library is worthy fame :o))) x

:o))))) x

Sandra its fantastic well done you.

thankyou carol so much, i amazed myself being able to even do a horse lol :o))

I would have to do some drawing first San, It is a whole different skill painting direct. I am impressed.

thankyou Pimpernel, i can draw to a point but just dont like to, i also think im impatient and just want to get some paint on haha
i just find it easier as acrylics blocks the drawing out anyway unlike watercolours where you can still see the pencil. :o))

wonderful S, love to hill walk & this painting has all the elements plus your horses are full of character. I draw & wildlife is a favourite subject but my horses always end up looking like donkeys, seriously. Spent days copying an Albrietch Durer in pen & ink years ago, armoured soldier on horseback, very detailed down to the last rivet, stood back on completion & there was this fine & fiercesome spear carrying warrier sat on Jenny the seaside donkey!!! scared for life & never went near the subject again despite being an avid horse rider back home in Devon. I still have that drawing somewhere.

Hi Bampy and thankyou for your comments and compliments, made me laugh about your horse/donkey haha, maybe if you find it you can post it so we can see, wish i could draw though :o))

if I find it I'll pop it up San, & for the record I wish I could be a better colourist, utterly hopeless when it comes to paint. Love trying though !!

Lol..Bampy..Done that sort of thing many times. If you hold the work to a mirror as you go, it is supposed to show up the faults..I still got many dodgy paintings though.

thanx Bampy look forward to that ;o))
your right there Pimpernel, i do that to and it does work ;o))
