Hi Dizzi

i paint and love abstract..its full of life and fun

xx

I paint myself and I go from one extreme to the other. I love painting delicate watercolours, particularly flowers and then I get out the acrylics, a large canvas and splash on the paint thickly in bright colours and experiment with it, using gels and molding pastes with different implements. Oooh, wish I had time to do that right now.

i think painting like that with acrylics is very therapeutic..lol

I can see that painting like that with acrylics or any medium really would be therapeutic. However, to look at I do like paintings to represent a 'proper' picture. It doesn't have to be like a photograph as I like the impressionists but it has to be what was painted. I also like perspective art. there is an excellent artist that I like who paints street scenes and you feel you are actually in them. I like that.

We went to the tate Modern in St Ives and couldn't get out quickly enough, very strange paintings.

Still each to their own of course.

It depends on what you mean by art Dizzi.

As far as paintings to hang on the wall go I don't care for anything obvious unless it is by someone I know or can relate to so it has a meaning for me.
I prefer a painting that can be what ever I see in it, something that fires my imagination or something I can lose myself in.

I JUMP FROM SKETCHING TO PAINTING
I ALWAYS CARRY PAPER AND PENCILS WHEN OUT
I SKETCH NUDES USUALY.
AT THE MOMENT IM DOING ABSTRACT USING POLYFILLER TO SHAPE AND WIRE ,GLASS ON CANVAS THE PAINT WITH ACRYLICS LOVE BRIGHT COLOURS.
JUST FINISHED ONE WITH DANDILIONS BLOWING AWAY,THATS ABOUT THE TAMEST ONE

You all sound very arty, I can just about manage a dot to dot drawing. lol :o)))

Good morning Dizzi - I often just paint over an already painted canvas. I found a large one (4ft x 4ft) at our tip yesterday - they have a charity shop there, where I usually go for pic frames. Good quality for a tenner - I'm well pleased. Saves me making one up.

My son and his girlfriend gave me a card a while ago - it's got an elephant on it with lots of decorative bits. They want me to do a painting based on it to put on a wall in their lounge. I shall use the canvas I bought yesterday. Can't do it before Xmas, but will do it in the new year for an engagement pressie, as they've just got engaged.

Mtg - what a wonderful find. I bet you feel proud.

dizzi, then pictures are both lovely, and the first with the flower is somthing i probably would hang in my house,

the second is theraputic and reminds me of the bath n bubbles, would look lovely in a bathroom,

your very talented xxx
