Painted this a few years ago for my friend that frequently visits family in England. Posting it for you jimeka and anyone else that loves England.

Iona60 that is absolutely amazing!!! Beautiful painting that puts me right there in that town and that setting

[erash in reply to erash]

Looking at it a 2nd and 3rd time, there's so much complexity in your painting that is so difficult (IMHO) to achieve with water color

[Iona60 in reply to erash]

Thank you for your kind words of encouragement. I kind of paint in a pixelated style.

[Iona60 in reply to Iona60]

My artist husband just corrected me, it's called pointilism.

[erash in reply to Iona60]

Iona60 im familiar with both terms and regardless it def. works 😊

[WAshingtongirl]

Iona60 , the Cotswolds was my favorite area when I visited England years ago. You've taken me back to those beautiful memories with your painting.

I still can't get over your talent! Keep painting and sharing your gift with us! 🎨

I did a summer abroad program at Oxford when I was in college, and I was so lucky to have been able to visit the Cotswolds.

Oh, that is so beautiful!! I'm always surprised by the talent we have on our site. Thank you for posting. I'm currently working on some sketches related to Hubbie's favorite team.. if they turn out well will post..

[erash in reply to CalfeeChick]

CalfeeChick please post these sketches! By the way, how r u doing?

[CalfeeChick CommunityAmbassador in reply to erash]

Standard answer, good days and not so good days. Got started on Gabapentin last week and it's really helping the rib cage tingles and the legs, but not as much on the legs. I got started with a new GP yesterday and really like her. I'll be able to get all my RX without having to have hubby drive me 20+ miles to pick up handwritten script. Won't have to deal with incompetent office staff. I love my previous doc, but they are now part of a Medical group that is limiting what they are able to do. Had my mammo this morning and will be getting bone density test next week. seems like busy times. How are you doing? I keep having a dream that I don't have ms, that all this is from my arthritic spinal problems and we can cure it! Would that be swell, I'd still come here as you all are my new family!

[erash in reply to CalfeeChick]

CalfeeChick so glad the gabapentin is giving some relief! Sounds like you are moving forward which I'm sure feels much better than treading water with your health care.

I'm doing very well! (knocking on my wooden head). I'm the queen of denial and try not to focus on what I can't do.

I hope your dream does come true!

[WAshingtongirl in reply to erash]

I ditto what erash says about wishing your dream comes true, CalfeeChick . I wish the gabapentin did more for you, but happy you've gotten some relief.

Hi, I love your picture! I instantly knew it was the Cotswolds without reading. I live just down the road in Cheltenham which is described as The Gateway to the Cotswolds and I really must visit more as I love it !

[Iona60 in reply to Jjlinden]

Thank you for your kind words.I keep thinking that I will have prints of this made.

[Tinker-Belle]

Please tell me you have displayed your artwork in a gallery. Your skills are magnificent. Beautiful, beautiful!

[Iona60]

No and I've given summer of them away, but most are in s bit in my closet. I should get them framed and hang them up.
