[Patk1]

Love both of these Ern.i just popped in to see if you had shared a painting and rewarded with two >))I especially love the sea and seagulls.u paint water so well. Good to see the birds and spring bringing everything to life 🥰x

[Ern007 in reply to Patk1]

Thank you Pat - Yes after a long winter spring just came,was very welcome - I like spring can use most colours, x

[Patk1 in reply to Ern007]

You've certainly caught the light of spring days we've had.i love Yr pink hills too xxx

[helenlw7]

I love the sea view. I always wanted to live by the sea, not to swim in it, just to watch it, and I hate the way sand from the beach goes everywhere. Here I am, living on the outskirts of Birmingham, almost as far from the sea you can I get.

[Ern007 in reply to helenlw7]

Thank you helen, I like the sea also, weather in UK or abroad when I was able, always chose a seaside resort - I can;t swim so that was not the reason. I live 17 miles from Southport and 28 miles from Blackpool. so distance is not a problem. I never thought of that before, Birmingham not near the north or Irish sea,

[helenlw7 in reply to Ern007]

I spent my life until I was 18 and went to university, lining in Kendal, so the Lakes and the Fylde coast were my go to places.

[Ern007 in reply to helenlw7]

The lakes, sounds good. The Fylde Coast is underestimated I think. Morcambe not far from kendal not the resort it was . I don't drive far these days and my youngest daughter drives Anne and me to Norbreck - Lovely beach scenes and near Blackpool for shopping. As a youngster Blackpool was the place to holiday for many who lived in Lancasire and lots from Scotland also.

[Ern007]

Thank you, lot of light in spring and everything so fresh. Yea I like to paint hills pink or purple, I used to do all hills gray, I know which I like best xxx

[Marc1965]

Great paintings Ern.lovely cheerful views.

[Ern007 in reply to Marc1965]

Thank you Marc - I like spring for it's colourand just like the sea.

[Marc1965]

Yes me too.I am keen on photography. I have put one photo on here but I intend on putting more on.I do garden photography and our dog but we also go to Italy for about 8 weeks a year so there are plenty of photography opportunities there.

[Ern007 in reply to Marc1965]

I posted a garden photo of a massive codyline in flower, gosh that was good and the scent - Hoever the flower stem so thick, I could not get it out, it rotted and with a very wet winter it died - Other that that and taking shots of mmy painting, I am not great with a camera, my youngest daughter is like you very keen.

[Welshcatlady]

[Mopsey1897]

Love the sea view, makes me feel calm and happy and longing for my holiday

[Ern007 in reply to Mopsey1897]

Thank you Mopsey1897 - I like a few days away in July,always a sea side,

[Mopsey1897 in reply to Ern007]

We’re going to Looe in Cornwall in July for a week. Really lovely beaches

[Ern007 in reply to Mopsey1897]

Coorwall is nice, and warm, Been once a long time ago, I think was Kynance Cove: Water was turquoise. I live in NW England the other Southern resort was Minehead we went to, was so hot.

[Mopsey1897 in reply to Ern007]

I know Kynance Cove, very pretty.

[Ern007 in reply to Mopsey1897]

Wish I was there now, gone cold in Lancashire all of a sudden,

[rosco59]

Both lovely paintings. I particularly love the way you’ve painted the waves lapping against the shore. The colours are very uplifting too, Thank goodness Spring seems to have arrived. Thanks for sharing your lovely work.

[Ern007 in reply to rosco59]

Thank you rosco59, Spring is very welcome.

[Mydoggnasher]

[Ern007 in reply to Collie4]

Thank you Collie4. 😀

[Mavary]

you are going mad now. Doing two pictures. Very nice anyway.

[Ern007 in reply to Mavary]

Thank you Mavery - just 8x8 inches canvas though,

[Mavary in reply to Ern007]

Ah tiny ones. What are you doing with them all. You could auction them off on here and give the money to Heath Unlocked whatever they call it now.

[Ern007 in reply to Mavary]

I see y our Idea mavery but, they would have to be sealed and varnished. Nt sure condition of a lot of them - I have sold a few but getting old

[Mavary in reply to Ern007]

Oh that’s a shame. I don’t know that a lot of people would worry about that.

[Ern007 in reply to Mavary]

I will have a think about it Mavery - A lot of painting I don't paint the sides, and not easy to do that later. Also I paint most on canvas and come on canvas board, canvas board is no use asa frame is needed. I will look what I have good enough and start using canvas - thenI need boxes and packing, but it may be doable,I willgive it a try when I know what is what.

[Mavary in reply to Ern007]

I just thought if you aren’t going to do anything with them it might be a good way to make money for the site.

[Ern007 in reply to Mavary]

It is a good idea, I never really thught - If I can I will

[winnabago]

Always nice, thank you.

[Ern007 in reply to winnabago]

Thank you einnabago.

[slram]

[Ern007 in reply to slram]

Thank you Sharon

[Threecats]

Lovely spring colours Ern! I could just do with some time on that beach watching the waves right now😊 I’d only be watching them though, as a non-swimmer 😀

[Ern007 in reply to Threecats]

Thank you three cats, I am also a "none swimmer" 😀

[Turnipgirl in reply to Ern007]

I learned to swim when I was 10!

At the end of January I was devastated when the leisure centre I had been going to since 2022 shut down as they went bankrupt but now I feel it's a good thing that happened as it got me away from that pharmacy there where I was treated unfairly and now I have left them behind for good and I can focus on the future!

When that pharmacy job ended I was devastated and it felt like the world had ended but life has moved on for the better!

[Ern007 in reply to Turnipgirl]

I remember as a young lad schooltook usto baths to learn to swim - Part was under supervision and much coaching. we all held the ridge (8) of us that went round the pool - On rder we all let go and we was supposed to sink to the borrom and cme back up. Well 8 off us wend down the side f the pool and 7 floated back up. I got to the ladder and climed out There was no danger we was supervised. I was nor scared, I just could not swim.

Well now you are well away from pharmacy with pool gone, so you have complete clsure n who treatedyou bad. Although I bet you miss the pool.
