Hobby pictures

[Iona60]

Couldn't figure out how to post this picture to the Today's Hobby thread. This is a pic that I did in watercolors this summer. I'm not talented enough to come up with my own pictures, so this is one that I copied from watercolor artist that I like named Terry Harrison.

15 minutes at a time can eventually accomplish something.

So beautiful! U should definitely at least look at the MSNA artist submission criteria and consider submitting 👍

I copied another pic that Terry Harrison did of a house at the end of a flowery path. I changed out the house to be a little cottage. I wonder if it would be enough of a change to submit. I'm almost done with it.

I think it would be! No different than 2 people looking at the same still life and recreating it in different paintings. Perhaps a recreation of a well known Mona Lisa would be more controversial...

Love it, thanks for Sharing

Wow!

It's beautiful. You did a great job.

Oh my goodness! I am impressed by all the talent here. Seriously! I think you may have a new career when you retire from your present one!

Bring on the pics of your beautiful creations, everyone!!! I may not have your talents, but I sure love to bask in the beauty of your creations. Some days we just need a touch of beauty. Thanks. 💕

It's beautiful! You are an artist!

Your watercolor is beautiful! Regardless of technique or experience it's impressive

I want to step in and go for a walk round that lovely garden, smell the lavender and explore beyond mysterious door : ) Well done x

[Iona60 in reply to angelite]

Me too! Let's go.

Thats awesome! I hope to get that good

[Iona60 in reply to Fee09]

Just keep at it. I painted when I was a kid and then again in college. I didn't do it again for years and years and was afraid to start back again. To venture back in, I bought a few paint by number kits and began that way to get my confidence back. It worked!

Lona60, it's MSFighter and your watercolor is absolutely beautiful! I love the watercolor media and it is not as easy as it looks to make a picture turn out as perfect as yours has. Thanks for sharing it with us. It sure is a bright spot for me to look at this evening.💖

[Iona60 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you so much for your kind words.

[Judi4]

This is so beautiful. You truly have a gift, and with the comments made here, your work brings enjoyment to others.

Iona, these are stunning! Wish I could do something like you did. I'm into copying! I used to go to Christmas Botiques (can't remember/nor can I spell) and would buy an ornament that I could copy with the intent of joining a selling group, but never followed through with it since MS took feeling away from my hands. Still have the supplies, though. I do still have my photography, which gives me much satisfaction. You should see the 50 sunset pics from my sidewalk and the 72 full moons from my driveway! Could probably go thru them and narrow it down, but why, right? Enjoy the pleasure of your talent and your family, Iona. My numb fingers are mistyping because they are also cold. Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks for your kind words. Post some of your photography for us.

[beadowns in reply to Iona60]

Iona, I would but don't know how! I use a desk top computer & a SLR camera. Don't have an iPad/iPhone, etc. Any ideas?

[Iona60 in reply to beadowns]

Bea, if you have a scanner, you could scan some of your photos to your computer and then post them.

Lonan60, it's Fancy1959. I absolutely love water colors and you have done a fantastic job on his beautiful painting. I agree with erash about checking out the criteria for the MS Artist of the month.

[Tinker-Belle]

Oh, I think you must be talented enough to come up with your own, too. Heck, from what I am seeing of the beautiful wildlife and garden photos, you have things right at your fingertips you could paint. I'm looking forward to following along as you share more of your incredibly talented journey.

One summer I painted pics of my friends mountain cabins from photos. I got tied of the subject matter before I had a chance to paint our cabin.
