Posting my last watercolour wash  # 100  ! ...from the  ONE HUNDRED WASHES CHALLENGE http://onehundredwashes.blogspot.com/  .... a huge thankyou to my fellow "washers"  Maggie ,Suzanne ,Theresa, Olivia ,Vandy and Christy .... I feel as if I've only just started this challenge ...will miss all of  you.  I hope there will be a similiar challenge in the future.  


A very special thankyou to Maggie Latham who had the initial idea for this challenge ,setting  it up and bringing us together as a group on this joint challenge ..it's been so inspiring and I have learnt so much with you all  ...wishing Maggie all the very best for her new personal challenge of 1000 Washes.

disheartened

I'm dishearted it's just been brought to my attention a crop of one of my paintings of poinsettas "Stella di Natale"  has been posted today  and used by a blogger the link is below  ...it's very sad to see someone posting your artwork and saying they have painted it ...I ask  why ? and  What is the point ?
Copyright is an issue .....

I used my painting of "Stella di Natale"  Poinsettas  last year for e-mail cards and  a limited number of printed  christmas cards.


here's a copy of laurie's post with my painting of poinsetta's cropped http://www.howmytimeflys.blogspot.com/

home made books and foggy mornings,

This is a painting I did a couple of weeks ago,, I was puddling around with Christmas card ideas.This is so very Christmas predictable isn't it.

I want something much more,,, mine.
