I copied/adapted someone else's work but thanks for the compliment It still took skill Brew. I'm sure that you have another go and create an original. My style of art is done out doors in the form of follies, just to please myself. Just constructing or making things that are often quite useless for my own entertainment. Although I can do the drawings and calculations, I don't. Much prefer seeing structures and shapes develop and using reclaimed materials where possible. A barn I built in France is a good example where I installed a big cider press then build the barn around it. My current project, almost finished, is a chicken coop. Not many chicken coops have brass door knob and knocker. Found some horse brasses yesterday. They will be polished and put next to the coops' front window. Working on the wire net run now and that will be very individual too. Even the chickens will be unusual breeds. It is quite satisfying to put you own touch on various projects. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,134 Posted June 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 If your watching NonnaB, do you recognise this view? Was going to do it on canvas but then I found this little planter outside. Would like your opinion...B. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 4,894 Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 I recognize that view, it looks very much like my front gates. They look good but didn't think you'd put then on a planter bucket. Can't see the grapes though! Seriously you made the planter look good. Well done , I like it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,134 Posted June 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 The grapes were too far away for me to see. When painting that small the vines would only be dots. So I opted for poetic licence, (won't say artistic as it sounds too presumptuous). Glad you like it. The other side is not quite finished, will post it when done, complete with plants. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 4,894 Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 Was only joking about the grapes. When they are mature I'll send you some pics that might be useful for you to put on your many many articles . You've renewed my interest in drawing, may try again . Years ago I used to paint on stones as my husband reminded me. I have water colour pencils so might try something. My daughter has a lovely view from her bathroom window that takes in the road and the hills as far as you can see. I may attempt that as not much doing outside the house.

Beekay 5,134 Posted June 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 Took the liberty of painting the picture from the photograph you posted via pm. I printed a copy off and worked from that. The post on here doesn't do it justice. I was really pleased when I'd done it, I wanted to walk over those fields to the houses on top of the hill. Even put your cactus on. Bigsis posted a picture of hers, of a painted stone. I once did that on half dozen stones, when I worked at National Water Sports Centre, Holme Pierrpont. Sold the lot one afternoon. My boss stopped me doing that because I was getting stones from the water's edge ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LizzieM 9,507 Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 Nice house BK, is this your B&B accommodation and where the churn will live, when you’re permitted to leave W. Sussex. Hope nobody will work out which house it is? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,134 Posted June 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 Thank you Lizzie. Did you see the post above with Nonna's view from her gates? That's both sides done now, so be looking for something else. Unless of course, I nip up and give Affergorrit's beach hut a coat of Acrylic. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nonnaB 4,894 Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 If you'd have asked I could have posted you a pic of the front of our house.!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,134 Posted June 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 You can still do that Nonna. It would probably be better if you did it by pm. I look forward to seeing. Would I have your permission to recreate it, or do you have an objection. Some folks take exception. Regards, B. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 4,894 Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 Not at the moment BK it's a mess and still isn't finished. Gravel half down odd things lying around , grass cuttings everywhere and top it all too wet from continuous rain Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,134 Posted June 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 I must be getting really stir crazy. I've just finished painting and decorating a baked bean tin ! My next project is going to be one of the Fray Bentos flat steak and kidney pie tins. Sad or what? Still, should make a halfway decent plant pot tray. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
