Candle of Hope.

I was painting a landscape. but was so far behind.

I wanted a painting I could post this evening or tomorrow morning.

So Far - my mind was a blank.

I realised I had a Heart Canvas, had been used but I blacked out with Mars Black.

I painted a Candle in red/white and a Magenta Heart at the foot of the candle.

I painted 4 flowers all in impressionist style/ and added a few stars at the top..

I am not going to mention the last couple of days - For myself and my friends, I will name this

painting PEACE.

Don't expect to much, I did this in one hour.

Ern you painted this in one hour. That was quick. Well done.

The heart shape canvas makes a nice change and I like the detail of the flowers especially the large purple flower. Sorry I don’t know the name of the flower. x

Ern007 in reply to Issy22

This canvas I had used before, I blacked the previous painting out. I am used to candles, I was in middle of a landscape, I would never have finished that tonight.. The flower on the left is a small hydrangea -I painted a purple circle then with a filbert brush, finished with white. x

I hope you didn’t go over a nice painting. I can’t wait to see the landscape. My mum has them flowers in her garden but I never knew the name of them, they are very beautiful.

Ern007 in reply to Issy22

I went over similar, I could not post the same on, and only had that heart shaped. I have had a lucky life with plants and flowers. I had my own mail order business which I loved. lack of space meant working at a garden nursey and cuttings part time. Imagine, I was getting paid for a hobby of mine almost, was a bit harder.

Issy22 in reply to Ern007

I have never been able to look after plants even indoor plants. My husband slabbed all the garden so no plants. I just don’t think he wanted to cut the grass every week. Must of been lovely having a job that was like a hobby.

Ern007 in reply to Issy22

Yea I had some jobs I felt a prisoner - I saw a large fuchsia next door, that gave me the idea. a greenhouse and I was away. It was fun.. Next door cuts our grass, £10 every two weeks, a bargain.

Thank you Threecats . Yes it took an hour - Plus the time to black and dry the painting., ready to paint on. I am used to black canvases TC , and was the only way to get a picture ready to post last evening. I am also used to black canvases.

I’m sure we are Ern , time heals and in this sort of thing it’s usually quite quick , in the cold light of day everyone soon realises life’s too short 😊 I hope you’re keeping well , I wasn’t suitable for immunotherapy in the end , unfortunately my cancer is rare and aggressive so they were very wary about the treatment but I have just started on low dose targeted therapy for the shortest time before a break and so far no Ill affects 😊 xxx

Ern007 profile image
Ern007 in reply to Thepainterswife

Sorry you are not suitable "immunotherapy" - I am unsure if I am getting any more - I was low grade cancer, then high grade, then back to low grade. I hope your targeted therapy works, I wanted that treatment, but they said would not work with Bladder Cancer. Life is to short to waste, to are so right ;-)

Hi Ern, lovely painting again. Can't imagine how you thought of that and painted it in one hour. For someone like me who can't even draw a straight line I am in awe at your talent. My Grandad, like you, grew plants all his working life. He worked for a nursery and the greenhouses were opposite his "tied cottage" where he lived. He also had a back garden full of veg and the front was full of flowers that he sold to the local corner shop. If I was really lucky he'd pick some pansies for me to take to my teacher. He had 17 grandchildren so took a long time for my turn to come round 😅xxx

Ern007 profile image
Ern007 in reply to Nula2

Thank you Nula I was painting something else, but I knew I had this canvas. once black then it took about an hour, I am so used to and love these black canvas paintings. I was lucky in my work, I worked in finance for a while before that. I hated it. I loved my own business but I liked meeting people at the nursery, -Sounds a nice man and we bought some pansies day before yesterday, I cannot boast 17 grandchildren though Nula - 4 granchildren. wow :-) xxxx

Nula2 profile image
Nula2 in reply to Ern007

People tended to have big families in those days. They had 6 children so hence the 17 grandchildren :0) (smiley face - system won't let me do emojis for some reason) xxx

Ern007 profile image
Ern007 in reply to Nula2

Hi Nula I take your point, very small familied these days compared. I think thr system is broke, I have found it hard to edit.. :-)

Nula2 profile image
Nula2 in reply to Ern007

Yes big families used to be the norm then. I have found editing hard too and still no emojis. xxx

Ern007 profile image
Ern007 in reply to Nula2
