A few paintings of mine




Just a couple of paintings I've done over the last year or so. I do hope to do a bit more painting this summer.

  8. Love these, Loretta. I remember the flower seller. I was in the Prado yesterday, and I thought of you because, of course, they exhibit some Scottish artists - one painting in particular I'm sure I've seen on your page.

  11. What I like about your paintings are the expressions, as if the subjects are mid-conversation.

  17. Thanks folks for all your comments, I'm pretty sure most of you have seen most of these before. I had a sort through my photos and drawings and decided to re-post these, your comments are all much appreciated. Frank (Bentley) thanks for stopping by, glad you liked the paintings, I did go to your site but couldn't find you paintings, I must have missed them somehow.
    Hi Nancy (Mysticmaze) guess you recognised her then :-) that particular painting is in Germany now.
    With encouragement like this I really must make the effort to do more painting, thanks
