Those Autumn Leaves of Red and Gold...
Those of you who are still young may not recognize those
song lyrics, but I used to play that record over and over
while I was in college. October is a month of many events
in my life including many birthdays, anniversaries, and even deaths.
Here is another autumn painting/sketch. I did this one yesterday.
Monday's watercolor class is getting to be more and more
of a challenge. I have never been around horses so I
don't know exactly what they look like, just sort of. The
class instructor owns horses and loves them dearly, so
that was our assignment. She supplied the photo for us to go by.
Here is my effort:
Last week I rediscovered Word Art Wednesday,
a challenge where a scripture is given to be used (or not)
in a piece of art. It doesn't have to have a scripture,
just be a positive sort of art post. Most of them are
cards, but mine is a watercolor plus digital text.
I showed this earlier for WAW but I also want to
have it here for Paint Party Friday.
And lastly is a digital collage I made. The flowers
are from a photograph that I digitally duplicated
over several layers of colors and the text added digitally.




beautiful work this week Faye!

ReplyDeleteOh I almost cried when I saw those lyrics...I sang that song all the time as a teen. Your watercolors are all amazing...even the horse! Gorgeous work!
ReplyDeleteHugs Giggles
These are lovely, Faye, and I love the song as well!
ReplyDeleteI'm one of those lucky girls who grew up with horses next door, and read voraciously! I loved Walter Farley's paintings in Magritte Henry's books, and copied his style, as well as drawing the ponies next door!
Happy PPF!

ReplyDeleteYou had a busy and beautiful week. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI remember that song. When I took piano lessons it was on my to learn list. I think about it every fall. Why, I don' know except I like it I guess. More beautiful pieces this week Faye. I can tell you get a lot of pleasure because it shows in your work. Also looks like the hubby's surgery is hopefully on Nov 3. We shall see. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work! I always think watercolor can be difficult but your are lovely. Especially like the horse. Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful art. I love the horse painting!
ReplyDeletelove the gentle horse painting happy weekend
ReplyDeleteFantastic work Faye, you certainly don't take the easy route. Horses!!! Wow that's tough, but you did a brilliant job and your portraits are great. Our autumn has been quite mild so far so our leaves are only just turning. Your's look stunning in their red and gold. Happy PPF to you
ReplyDeleteI remember that song! I was about 10 when my folks played it a lot on our record player. Horses were my first love as a drawing subject at that age, and I think you did a fantastic job on yours!
ReplyDeleteNou je het weer erg je best gedaan Faye lieve groetjes Danielle
ReplyDeleteLovely autumn painting. WAW too is well done.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful horse! You did a great job. Your fisherman is awesome. He looks just like the fishermen who go out during the salmon season. There will be so many of them all lined up. I've always wondered how they don't get their lines tangled. Your fisherman is smart, he found a site without other people to compete with. You did a good job on mixing digital and hand painting too! I am still out blog hopping from yesterday. Hope you have a wonderful week! Hugs, Rasz
ReplyDeleteLots of beautiful art this week! I really love the first painting of fishing in the river. It almost has an expressionist quality with the leaves, looks very cool!
