Thought I would try something different today...a little abstract painted with a palette knife. I love the palette knife but have a lot to learn! I walk by this pond most days and the colors vary so much, I enjoyed it so I will be trying more of these! I am going on holiday so it will be next year before there will be any painting done. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and enjoy your holidays!!

Back to flowers again!! We have a waterlily pond in town and  I always take some photos when they are in bloom. To me they are the star of the water garden...so delicate and tranquil floating on the surface of the water among the big bright green leaves. Another of my favorite flowers!! I love the way this is in shadow.

What's good for the goose...a swim!

It is hard trying to get a photo of geese standing still...not long after I had taken this it jumped in the pond and paddled off! I really liked the back light and often I'm not in the right place so I was pleased I managed it this time!!

Had time to squeeze a small painting in this week! I have always loved waterlilies, these are in a pond at Clive Square near town and always look beautiful when they are blooming. 

I am over half way through my exhibition paintings...whew!!! It has been a mission, I think I prefer painting smaller work...up to 12"x16."

This is another one of the weed in the Estuary....I'm forever fascinated by the changes in the colors of it!  Some of  the clumps are a bit dead looking but the I love the subtle colors in them and the water around them is  a clear blue. Finish line for this challenge is getting closer now! Take a look at  all the other artists work on Leslie Saeta's blog.

It's been a couple of weeks since I've posted...been busy with Christmas! I have been able to get a bit of painting done... this pond was full of waterlilies but this one was sitting pretty on it's own and I loved the reflection in the still water.
