This is my most current painting, which I have spent most of today working on. I didn't think it would take as long as it did but there was quite a lot of detail. I called the painting Leon Park after a park that I played in as a child.The park was owned by Lord and Lady Leon who also owned Bletchley Park ,home of the code breakers in the war.My mother and father met at Bletchley park when my Father was stationed there in the Royal Air Force. My Mum already worked there.
This painting is in oils and took about 6 hours. I have done a good bit of art this week as I went to my monthly art group. We are working all together on a water themed collage . We discussed this over a few glasses of wine and decided to work on figures that will go in the scene. I did a couple of swimmers using my water colour pencils and some gel pens. The others produced similar figures and then we ran out of time and will put them together in a water scene at next months art group.

I also had a go at print making with a lino tile and cutting tool lent to me by a friend. The design came out quite well but I failed to realise that the lettering should go back to front in order to print a mirror image. there for I mucked it up but had fun trying anyway. In addition I did a pencil drawing of an eagle whilst doing some work with a young person who was also drawing wildlife. so quite a creative week really. If you like my painting you can follow this link to buy it. Thanks for looking at my work Carolyn
This is how the swimming theme at Art group is coming along. This month when we meet, we will link together the images with words arranged in waves. I love to look at the different styles of each Artists work. I am lucky to have very talented Artist friends and I look forward to meeting with them each month to work on art together.
