May day
Posted: May 1, 2013 Filed under: Uncategorized 17 CommentsI sat in this spot two days ago to draw the first daffodils and then forgot to move the chair and little table back to their usual spots. They waited patiently for me to return and paint them too.


















Oh it looks so sunny and inviting!
Thanks Julia. Wish I could have sat there a little longer. It did look so inviting!
Such a lovely spot!
Thanks Julie!
I am highly amused by this lovely painting. I see a new series in the making… chair and little table with long grass growing through them… chair and little table covered with fall leaves… chair and little table sitting in the snow. It is the terracotta pots all over again except this time you will be continually saying “I really must put the chair and little table away.” : )
That’s funny Ross. I read your comment just after I put them back in their usual place!
Yes, of course you did [disbelieving tone].
Lovely! You perfectly captured the absolutely perfect day we had today. The warmth of the sun and air radiate off the paper … Through to my computer screen.
Thanks Alison! I hope you were out there enjoying the day too!
What I like about it is the light you feel when you look at it. It feels so sunny. Very nice.
Thanks Leon!
It really does convey a lovely sense of the warmth of the scene!
Thanks so much Philip!
Hi Shari :: this is an impressionistic painting…. remember how the impressionists tried to figure out how the light played? Well, this painting is full of light! Well done Shari 😉
Yes, the day was really about the incredible light. Thanks Jane!
I know you mentioned before, but what kind of brush pens do you prefer? How are they different from brush markers?
Hi Kathy,
I have only ever tried a Pentel brush pen. So that is the brand I prefer for now, until I try a different one…
