Its now the end of Day 11 here in South Australia. I have had quite a few interruptions but lucky for me I have my little "delicious foodies" which I try and add to every start of my painting time. I am only posting to Leslie Saeta's blog every few days too but I am keeping up with the painting.
I visited a large art show today to see three of my paintings on exhibit. Came away wishing I had picked a couple of others to show instead but that's life.
Today I include two foodies and my latest "real size" painting. I am also showing you a couple of photographs that inspired this one. The first shows the huge number of water birds that have been coming and going recently outside my front windows and the second all the Cormorants that land on our Jetty when the weather is very breezy and they need a rest.

What a wonderful sight and what a wonderful watercolor! For a time in my life I joined the Daily Paint Work and tried to paint a little work every day.
ReplyDeleteIt 'been a positive experience, because it taught me perseverance, until I realized that I need to make paintings according to my own pace and size choices after my own heart. Enjoy the rest of the challenge! Congratulations for all!!!
I can just about hear the splashiness of all those birds. Love this one, Lorraine.
ReplyDeleteI love the birds painting, Lorraine! What a great view from your windows, with or without birds!
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about the challenge, but I am like Rita, I have to follow my own pace. But I admire you for taking on the challenge!
lovely sketches esp lorraine ...all the best with the challenge .... i'm sure the 3 painting you selected are very good lorraine .
ReplyDeleteHow fortunate you are to live in such a beautiful area, and so rich with artistic opportunities, Lorraine. I always love these bird paintings. Oh, and those are tasty looking morsels. The challenge is agreeing with your talents.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful painting of a great sight - so many cormorants!! I thought the sticky buns were chocolate covered cherries until I enlarged it to look closer and read more :) Not sure butterscotch and cranberry would be two flavors that I'd like together - but I do like chocolate covered anything! ha ha
ReplyDeleteReally love the painting with the cormorants, how lucky to have a sight like this from your window !
ReplyDeleteYour food is making me hungry. lol What a massive flock of birds to inspire you! Your painting of them is great!! I love the colors in your grasses and the variation of color and shade in your water.
ReplyDeleteYou're keeping up with very lovely pieces Lorraine! I really love your front-window cormorant photos too...that is a lot of birds.
ReplyDeleteThree lovely paintings. The bird one is particularly good, so busy and lively. Can hear the birds almost
ReplyDeleteI really do appreciate your support. When you leave a comment I appreciate it as I know doing all the blogging after the work of painting is worthwhile. Nearly half way ...
ReplyDeleteI can see how this would inspire you Lorraine! Beautiful view and painting! Love your food sketches too, they look and sound delicious!
ReplyDeleteI love "Good Morning Goolwa"! You've done such a great job with the birds and the water.What a stunning setting! I love all the work you've been doing for the challenge Lorraine. You've copped more horror heat than we did you poor thing! After our very hot days we've suddenly had quite a few coolish days - today only 25C! Hopefully you've get a few cooler ones soon!
