Never give up!

Did you paint that? I like it ☺️ I want one now lol 😂

[Phillipaussie in reply to Lucien777]

Yes, I started painting recently,I do watch a lot online so picked up some brushes and turned this out.

Glad you like it.

[Lucien777 in reply to Phillipaussie]

I do 😊 might ask for a commission painting one day when I have money, would go right on my living room wall! It looks really great, considering that you just started painting! Well done u ☺️👍

Cool Phil. Excellent job, on yourself and the painting! 😍😍😚

It was an old print on canvas of a woman and hat in silhouette,

I painted the canvas over and knocked this out,was hung wet.

Amazed really no idea where it came from,culmination of different techniques.

Maybe you should give art a go it's very relaxing.

I ve just sold my easel as I need the money 😢 I ve loads art stuff but life took over my passion for painting 😭 if I ever get to retire I'd like to spend time exploring painting in oils. I sketch now again but can't seem to focus for too long. So they have to be speedy. Ill post a portrait i did of my daughter in 15 mins so you believe me 😂 alot going on right now with my health. I blame the hepc and or medication, c'set la vie 😍

[Phillipaussie in reply to navigatinglife]

I believe you,sorry to hear you not well,life is a struggle enough, hope you do get back into it,I find it relaxing although others only see what they can get out of it,I couldn't sketch to save myself,but I take more notice of the detail in things now,I'm playing with blending charcoal at the moment,light and shadow, keeps me occupied.

Thanks for getting back to me,lifted my mood a bit,feeling awkward about my results or not knowing what they are at the mo.

Enjoy your weekend,

Phil xx

Thanks Janell,it's my new pass time,

Hope your as well as can be,nearly finished Harvoni treatment got to say I'm not feeling any different,have fleeting moments of clarity then boom,feel like crap again.

Hope it passes.
