Still bargains to be had in the charity shops

Hi all my lovely bloggers. Hope you are all keeping well and managing to be cheerful with this very wet weather we are having. Still its good for the gardens and saves us all the watering we usually have to do this time of the year.

While out shopping the other day i went into our local charity shop and as i am always on the look out for art books, the book area is the first place i aim for.  To my amazement i found not one art book, but five. They cost 79p each and were all brand new. How lucky was that. Well i just had to show you my finds.

I made this journal by using some of the ideas from the above book. I call it my BLOB book.
I use the book as a reference to the colours before applying to my paintings Its surprising the different colours that are made.  Some artists use their blobs to create an art work.

I have been going to my art classes for almost a year now and am beginning to feel more confident with the work i  produce. I am painting flowers this term and really enjoying using water colour.
Here are some of my paintings.

I am pleased with these pictures, after all i have only been painting for a short while . It just goes to show you can do anything if you try.
