An Abstract with lots of colour and a Spring Spatter - two separate paintings.
The abstract is what you want to to be The five green imaged could have been a consequence of walking widdershins round the magic tree/ or not.
Important - I have a n almost finished resurrection easter painting but, the days falls on Easter Sunday and not many people will be on - So if nobody minds, be best to post it Wednesday. It is a biblical type painting showing the tomb open - Will be called. "He has risen"
Both excellent paintings Ern but my favourite is the one on the left. You do so well and look forward to the Easter painting. Xxx❤️
Thank's Carole. Yes the one on the left Anne likes, The abstract is a bit of fun. Widdershins means going the wrong way round. I have very little to do on the Easter painting, Very unusual. xxxx
Can’t wait xxx👍
i havent heard that word for years. widdershins!
An old word beaning the wrong way round, but is associated with witches.
yes i know all about witches Ern007!!!! that famous john waterhouse painting with her walking widdershins round that cauldren, the name of the painting escapes. me, ---- hang on while i get my broomstick out and my cloak and pointy hat, i will fly off to the coven and look up the painting in the Book of Shadows.. then i shall fly back and feed the familiars! mine is a black cat..... so mote it be!!!😉
John Waterhouse - "The Magic Circle" ? Not sure about the "widdershins connection" I would keep out the the Book of Shadows - Full of portions, spells and wiccans - Enough to make teeth chatter 
yes i was only kidding, so dont worry.... yes that is the painting...
Hi Ern. I love both of these paintings. Well done. 👍 They are both very colourful, but for some reason, Iam drawn to the widdershins round magic tree. 🧙🧹 It’s very mystical. Thank you for sharing them. 💜
Thank you Issy, I liek painting on black canvas - From space to this type, it's fun making up. Welcome x
It must be relaxing to paint. I used to make candles. But the smell of the hot wax and fragrance was affecting my lungs. I need a new hobby. x
I love to paint candles, but no smell involved. Years also I tried painting with oils, gosh they smell.
The candles I made you can’t use paint on them . This is one I made for Christmas. Oil paintings look so nice though.
Shame you can't do them any more, very creative -)
Issy I did mean painting a picture of candles. - I was unsure 
😂😂oh I thought you ment you painted candles like they have in churches. I was tired last night Ern sorry 😂
Embroidery, tapestry and slow stitching are good.
Thank you I was thinking of cross stitch and my neighbour said she will teach me to crochet 🧶
It took me AGES to learn to crochet!😂 I did worshops, you tube, friends helping etc. Still not that good but I have just done a slow stitching workshop and enjoyed it. I very occasionally still dress make but quickly run out of steam. I like embroidery etc than I can do as and when I please. You can get lovely cross stitch kits if you do decide to try that.
There is a new Peter rabbit cross stitch weekly magazine out. It’s only 99p to start. Iam going to try that first can’t go wrong at that price.
Yr spring splatter is 😍 lovely.just like my sons flower bed last Yr.yr clouds are perfect too. I also love the black canvas one,very surreal.very clever how translucent some are.Yr such a gd, versatile artist xx
I can't say it enough! I love your skies and flowers and the two together is pure happy magic....
I like both but particularly the Spring flowers. I look forward to seeing the Easter one.
Thank you rosco 59 -The Easter on is so different that any I have posted on here before. a 2nd one after Easter, will be more my normal style.
I’m sure they will both be appreciated. Thank you for sharing your talent. One of the things I enjoy about being part of this group, aside from the good advice I have received, is seeing the lovely photos and paintings and reading the wonderful poems.
Love these, Ern. The detail on all the different types of flowers on the painting on the left is brilliant! And love the all-encompassing nature of the tree on the right. Both very different, very good. Another great start to the day. Thank you! xx 👍👍
Tank you BronchyBronwen x
Such beautiful paintings Ern. I love the colours on the black canvas but my favourite is the spring splatter. It reminds me that brighter days are coming. Not today though as the rain is relentless!
Thank you MoosterMoo [ Not spring here either.
I like both but the spring one is my favourite, especially when enlarged. Love the flowers. You have a great style, Ern. Xx Moy
Lovely paintings again Ern007. Hope your keeping as well as possible I have a Facebook friend who is a big Elvis fan and he does mainly Elvis drawings and others as well. He is excellent and has some of his drawings in Gracelands
“Wow”
Yes he is very good my Facebook friend. And it's only a hobby. He has a full time job as well. Brian
Thank you Bingo88 - Cool likeeness.
Thanks. Hope your doing ok. Brian
I feel spring is coming and that makes me happy, don’t ask me why I’m thinking of the song , “the mulberry bush “ on the second one. I love both of them, well done Ern.
Wendy xx
Thank you Wendy - The second one was as anyone wanted to see., “the mulberry bush “ seems right, Spring seems to have stalled where I live LOl xx
Here too Ern xx
Those are gorgeous paintings Ern. The magical tree on black background is stunning. The other reminds me of our wildflower garden thing at our allotment (before the squirrels and fox family trod all over it !!! ).😂.
Lots of love and hugs from a very soggy Birmingham!! xxxx
Hi Ern, I like both paintings but the spring splatter is my favourite of the two. Made me smile😊. Look forward to the Easter painting. Sounds different yet again👍🙏😉xxx (NB I've never heard of the word "widdershins")
Hi Nula. Thought most would like spring splatter, lot of colour. Easter painting is how I imagined it really was. on Easter Sunday. It is so different to what I normally paint, I will do a traditional Easter painting later. "Widdershins" means going the wrong way round a circle pr on this case round the tree, x
I thought widdershins was from the book about witches 😂
Indeed - Are you refiring to "Newcastle witch trials, " - There was a poem "The man who walked widdershins round the kirk" - Mine was round a magic tree lol
Yes the Newcastle witch trials book, thats why I had a witch and broomstick emoji 😂 When you called your painting widdershins, it made me think of witches in a forest . I was looking for the cauldron 😂
I think widdershins is a versatile word, another meaning is "in a direction contrary to the sun's course, " and considered unlucky. Why I chose that word. many years ago I versed a poem with "widdershins" included in a spooky way for my eldest daughter to use at school. My painting I had in mind, dancing widdershins turned them into the green objects. Not sure it worked [-)
Ah thanks for explaining what widdershins means - it's a great word 🙂👍. Really looking forward to the Easter painting now if it reflects what you imagined happened. It will be interesting to see. 🙂. Take care ❤️xxx
I was going to paint in the tomb - looking out at calvary. then i though 3/4 of painting cave walls, boring so changed it. xxx
Ah ok. Don't give too much away - I don't get many surprises nowadays.
Won't let me edit or add emojis again!! Was going to add laughing face😅 (now it will🙄)xx
That edit gets me grr - Last night I needed to delete a comment to place higher not a chance, MY emojis are not working , I can do it bay hand
Yes this is a brilliant forum but the site itself has a lot of blips! You're clever doing the faces by hand! (my emojis aren't working - was going to put an amazed face) xxx
I love the left painting, I can’t wait for some beautiful sunny days 😍🌸🌷 Thanku. 🥰
Thank you same here - I think we all are short on sun
Your paintings remind me of some of the greeting cards sold in shops. Your high standard is just as good and designs are excellent. Have you tried turning your art work into cards? Keep painting!
Thank you Spanielblue - I am a bit long in tooth for that, but I appreciate the comment. Strange others say the same almost. last painting a suggestion that painting would look good on a Moonpig Card.
Paintings are great fantastic colours I'm looking forward to the Easter painting
Thank you Germantara
