staining windmill

That's a pretty painting Sandra.
I hope it does well at the art exhibition :o) x

hi Terra and thankyou, i really enjoyed doing this, part of me doesnt want to part with it, so if it doesnt sell i wont mind haha :o)) x

Hi Sandra..
Can you put a very high "reserve price" on it ...
i.e. only for sale for offers over £5,000 ? ;o)

lol yes i can put whatever i wish on it, some have done that before set high price so it doesnt sell, but were surprised when it did haha, maybe i should try ;o))

Excellent Sandra :))))))

Yes ... put a high price on !

I really like this painting Sandra, hope you get a good price for it! :))

thankyou paul, glad you like it :o))))))))
lol Terra maybe lol :o)))
Hi julia and thankyou, yes i love purple it makes a painting come to life dont you think, the exibition is at the solaris centre on the prom blackpool, so normally get alot of visitors viewing there ;o))
thankyou michaella, are you going to start the bidding hahaha :o))) glad you like it.

Reminds me of Norfolk - so I favoured it

thanx julia will let you know how it goes :o))
norfolk is well known for its windmills isnt it paul, we have about 5 in blackpool area, this is the only one which is a house convert and the sails also work, looks fab when they go around on a warm sunny day :o))

Well done Sanbaz this is very good, I particularly like the hues of purple/white.

Thats brill.......

Oh San, this is lovely ... really made me think of days out in the Summer ... well done! ... :o)

I really like this ,San..I would want to keep it too..but it would be great to make a bit of money..:o).

Lovely picture...hope all goes well with your exhibition :)
....I would love to live in a windmill!

That is so good San...

Hi Sanbaz, WOOOOO!! that is so like like, well done and best of luck in the Exibition ,look forward to seeing how you got on :))

Love it San. I adore windmills, something romantic about them! This should be well favoured at your exhibition.

Well done another good one, do let us know how you do with it please.

Sorry Sanbaz I meant to say Life Like :)))

I added picture of the one it reminds me of in Norfolk - yours really does look alike :)))))))

Very nice San....you're getting really good!

brilliant Sandra :o)
Love the sky in this painting with you

Excellant San ,I hope you do well at the exhibition ,I'm sure it will !

Good luck with the exhibition, the paintig is lovely.

Beautiful painting, Sanbaz, I could live with that on my wall! Good luck with the exhibition. I would love to look round inside to see the conversion too :)

thankyou all so much for your encouraging comments, i love using purple in my paintings its a great all round colour and mixes well to, windmills seem to do very well in exhibitions around blackpool so hope someone likes my windmill,
like some of you i could live in a windmill, never seen inside this one but it has extention and im sure its beautifull inside as they apparently have plenty of money haha
so thankyou all again and let you know if it goes :o)) x

San its very good, how long have you been going to the art group now? you,ve fast developed your own style with such confidence )( )( )( )( ----a round of applause....

hi pam, its been a year december 2011, i cant believe myself sometimes how iv done, carole who runs our session said you are either a natural or not and kindly said i was,, lol so i guess thats why iv come on so well.
i have always enjoyed seeing art and always felt artistic, not accademic,, probably spelt that wrong haha
anyway thankyou so much Pam :o)) x

Well done Sandra ..this looks great..is this the windmill we see when just going into Blackpool ?maybe not as i dont think that one has an extension..good luck with it in the exhibition i am sure it will do well :o))

Lovely painting Sandra, I remember this Windmill from when I was a little girl, we used to travel to Blackpool on a Charabang [coach] and the first one to spot the windmill got Sixpence lol Good Luck at the exhibition, I dont think you will be coming home with the Windmill!!

She,s so right San, I really enjoy going to my art group but havn,t yout talent or confidence--I also play about with different medium, gouache and acrylic are what I,ve been using but must get some new ideas for this year......

thanx joan and no its not haha
the one you see is marton windmill on the preston new road, this is when you come off that road and through a village called staining where i live, glad you like it though :o))
cheers carole you will have seen marton windmill like joan to which has been there many years and is also the second one on that sight. glad you like it carole and hope your right in a way, it would be great to actually have someone buy one of my paintings :o))
thankyou so much Pam for your kind words to, you are a good artists to, they tell me not to be afraid to put colour on, whatever i like and experiment, can always block it out again with acrylics. be a devil haha and keep painting, you to carole, your both good :o))

Yes you are right..its near Marton Mere isnt it ? I should have known that as my daughter had a caravan on a sight near there a few years ago...where they hold a huge car boot sale on a large field in summer..:o)

carboot sale is as you come off motorway roundabout joan, its alot smaller now as the land is sold and ment to be building on it and more land further along near windmill to be built by oystons, it makes me angry taking all the fields up.
then not far past windmill are lights where you turn right to caravan park which is next to premium bonds buildings, thats where my baz works on maintainance.
history lesson over you may have a cuppa now hahah

Ha ha, i know where you mean..(why did i say sight..duh..site ) not my night tonight..yes its not good when they sell the green areas off..wont be many left the way its going..:o(

lol joan, we all get like that at times dont we haha :o))

Wow, San ! Ooh I do love this one, the light and shade is beautiful, well done you, I'm sure it will sell easily, maybe you ought to start another for yourself...Lol

We always used to look for that windmill too..so exciting when you first saw the tower,and that windmill..all that asking'are we nearly there yet ?'..even though we hadn't even got as far as Preston..:o)

lol janey i may have to because i like this and if it sells will want one haha, glad you like it janey, nice to see you to :o)) x
sandra isnt it nice to take a trip down memory lane, good times, i say that to baz when we go anywhere just for fun haha :o))

love it sandra... :))

thankyou so much holly :o)))

Ian has just spied your windmill San, his comment was
B....y H..l thats fantastic!!.......thought youd like to know
:D

aww tell ian im very pleased he likes it, made my day janey, thankyou so much to ian :o)))) x

DOnt know how I missed this one..very nice San! :)

thankyou pixi, glad you think so, its going in next exhibition, being framed :o))

Sandra, I cant believe how far you have come since you first attempt! This is fantastic and yes, it reminds me of the windmill along the Sheringham coast road that we saw on holiday.

thanx Tetra, i even shock myself and cant believe i could ever paint like i do, i so enjoy the challenges and the learning to, wish i had started years ago now, there are quite a few like this one scattered about, think they changed in different era`s, these are my fav type of mill :o))

Great! Good luck with the exhibition! :)

cheers pixi, looked in on your site and saw a few new additions which were fab, very talented, both painting and drawing :o))

Constable couldn't do better!

awww thanx Tog glad you like it :o))

good picture Sandra. Hope you do well at the exhibition.

thankyou so much linda, just in getting framed so pick it up on tuesday, trouble is when i like them i dont want them to sell haha, but it would be nice to have someone buy one of my paintings :o))

It seems to me Sandra that unless you have a famous name and paint pictures or are in the spotlight of stardom it is difficult to sell your paintings, and even at a reasonable price. Same with books too.

linda i think your right there, if we were celebs and even if our work wasnt great, people would buy because of the name, not good is it but i enjoy the painting and thats what matters :o))

I totally agree with you Sandra. I get a great feeling of satisfaction after completing a picture.

:o))) getting my thinking head on now for next painting to start tuesday.

That is really beautiful Sandra . . must have given you a lot of satisfaction. Best wishes for the exhibition. :-)

thankyou so much Muddy... its lovely in the frame :o))
