Paint Party Friday 12
It's
Paint Party Friday and I've been painting all week. Simply Swans is an 8x10 that I've been working on for months. Finally last weekend I changed the coloring of the swans and I like it much better. I still haven't decided if it's done or not. I am thinking of adding a few more highlights and shadows to the swans and possibly the water. What do you think?
This is a rock I did several years ago and it had become all faded, so I gave it a facelift.
I got this beautiful cardinal planter from my sister for my birthday a couple of years ago and it had really faded also. The male cardinal was a yellow red and the flowers blended in. I might do some of the grass, I'm not sure.
This little froggy rock got a face lift too. He was lookin' kinda sad.
As you can probably see I had a blast with my craft acrylics, it's the kind of paint I used when I first started painting.
I hope you can find some time to hop on over to the Host Blog of
Paint Party Friday and check out the other entries. You will find some awesome artwork!
Have a wonderful weekend.
hugs,
Brenda

Beautiful swans, I am jealous of anyone who can paint realistic birds.
I had to look twice to see if it was a photograph or a painting ... bravo¡¡Saludos.

Love your beautiful swans and the water looks so real. It's always fun to see creativity such as yours. I want to paint like you.:)) Have a great weekend.
Brenda, these are amazing! the swans on the water just look so photo-real and i love the rock painting-a lovely way to signpost your home!
love the swans, you did a great job on the birds and the water; water is so hard to paint sometimes. Also love it that you are repainting your garden art; I just did an article on that and repainted my fairy.

Love both your paintings! I would add more highlights to the swans, if you wanted to. The water is fantastic! Thanks for visting me, sorry this took a little longer to respond. take care, gerri

Thank you Kiki, Gerri and Paula. Don't worry about it Gerri, I still have to finish the rounds myself.
