Sir Henry Moore ... old alumni of where I went to Senior school.

'I'd rather have my sculpture in the landscape, than on the most beautiful building I know'

One of his recurring themes ... ... ... King and Queen ... ... ... in Scotland, I believe, hopefully still in situ.

One of my favourite pieces of his work, yes we studied his work to GCE A level in 3D Art classes

A long-stitch tapestry I did from a kit and which my then husband had framed for me.

I have enjoyed watercolour paintings for a very long time.

These are two miniatures I painted years ago of the

panies and polyanthus growing in my garden ~ Watercolour  "wet in wet" technique

Wow @TallTrees , those are great! The blue and yellow one on the right - I can see so many different things in that painting, and not just flowers. It's interesting how you can interpret art in so many different ways as someone mentioned above.

I'm enjoying following this thread @Anonymous !

@TallTrees 

Totally agree with @Marjo , I love the painting on the right. It`s as though there is much more than just the flowers... Brilliant. You should sell your works of art @TallTrees .

And thanks @Anonymous for this lovely thread.

Thank you @Mi-Amigo 

Yes sometimes you get the feeling right.

Agree @Anonymous  thought for Art thread is great

it adds so much more to the off topic 

[TallTrees]

Thank you @Marjo 

Art and nature of all types seem to flow together for me.

Absolutely beautiful @TallTrees  ... the blue in each painting is the same and the pictures look well framed and placed together

You have a good eye for these things TallTrees 

I'm guessing 'wet on wet' technique is where you wet the paper, stretch it and tape it to a 'painting board' ... = ... I am not trained in painting, but did enjoy the tv programme 'Watercolour Challenge'

My style is semi-abstract in the art I appreciate

There is a dedicated art shop in town ... I have recently found a good set of brushes in a folder (never been used, yet) ... my small tin of watercolours will probably be in my old wooden desk in my workroom

Thank you @TallTrees  @Mi-Amigo  and @Marjo  for your kind comments about this thread I started after public discussion

Hi @Anonymous
Thank you for your kind comments. I quite like wet in wet it's a technique where the paper is wet not very wet, then control the paint putting it on - it then bleeds together. Quite heavy watercolour paper is needed for this.
No need to tape paper as heavy paper stays straight.
I very much like charcoal sketching too rubbing and working the charcoal with finger to get effects !! great its mucky🤭😊
