Not a lot of painting being done atm as hubby has been unwell.But I did this little sign on Slate from The Works, the birds are in Acrylic on a 3' X. 1' canvas,with a mush of kitchen roll,polyfiller and white glue to get the "impasto" look.
The whole truth is an instrument that can only be played by an expert.
@rowlandscastle444 you can get better. I couldn't draw my breath but I went to watercolour art 'class' (it was more of a demonstration really) and was able to draw recognisable things after a while. Watercolours are the divil's medium. Happy accident my a$$! My biggest success to date was a tiny pencil drawing of one of my mum's favourite views. She recognised it!!! That was years ago so I quit while I was winning.
Thank you @plant pauper for the encouragement. Unfortunately, I have the shakes, due to long-term epilepsy, which is deteriorating.
Gardening is one of those things that is not affected by the shakes - except possibly using power hedge trimmers or power saw. Wife definitely WON'T let me try those!!😵💫
Almost took a finger off while using a handsaw on one occasion. A & E doctor said I should have worn protective gloves. I had been!!! 😳 Told him he should see the gloves!🤣
@rowlandscastle444 I still have the scars from a handsaw incident years ago and no medical excuses, just numptiness! I think your wife has the right idea! 🤣

My daughter has just got herself a trailer tent and I'm very envious.
I'm not very crafty (in the sense used here), so appreciate the skill of others.
Family suggested I try sketching, but that didn't work.
Congratulations to all of you!!😊👍
