Macrami knot mags.

[Nell]

Hi Mags
Margaretcr is absolutely right its a macrame knot at the bottom of the pot to hold it in place. Yes my kitchen and bathroom are now finished and they look lovely and bright, I am well chuffed.

Hi Andymo
That is the only still life I have done, I made it up out of my head, I wont be doing another one, I will stick to landscapes, still life is out of my comfort zone.

Hi Andymo
Its hard work doing still life, with landscapes I can do sweeping strokes with the brush and be liberal with the paint, on a still life its more exact and disciplined, if you know what I mean.
When I get my painting space back I will paint a still life just for you

Nell do you paint animals - My grandson had two rottweilers - one died from smoke inhalation and i would love to be able to give him a painting of them. Let me know.Renak

[Nell]

Hi Renak
I have only just seen this, apologies for the delay in replying. I can only paint landscapes Renak, I cant draw for toffee, I just make them up out of my head and paint straight onto the canvas, but I think Carlin or Lizzy may be able to help you, send them a PM and I am sure they will do your painting if they can. I am soooo sorry I cant help, but I honestly couldn't paint a dog or a person or anything really except land trees water and grass, I have only done one still life and it was hard work

Hi Renak I am sorry to hear about your grandsons dog what a shame he must have been really upset I hope you manage to get your painting sorted out as this would have been a lovely gesture on your part good luck with it.
