They are really good Bill, I think painting is a gift, which you obviously
have,
I once went to art classes, the family laughed at my efforts, my hubby said
my mountains looked like a slag heap, I can't draw for toffee, so I
abandoned it :-)

My Dad painted Bill, and he did some great pictures. I have three of them at
home. He got great pleasure doing them and I think he was suited that we
(his daughters) wanted them on our walls, he was very tallented, and got
better as he did more. Keep it up :-)

One of the probs of showing them on the web is they loose some of the
sharpness and colour when I scan them. I have tried using my digital camera,
but not much difference,

Lovely art Bill. I wish I could paint or draw like that, in fact I wish
I could paint or draw at all.
Thank you for showing them to us.

That expression - "suited" - really reminds me of my Gran Jen. Except she
normally used it as a negative! eg "he's not suited over that".

I haven't heard it in ages.

Oh!
I thought that you'd done those Pics in something like
PaintShop Pro or PhotoShop!

They're nice, aren't they?

They are not amateur at all Bill.

I especially like the winter scenes - you've caught them very well.

Well done and thanks for sharing :-)

I wish I could be as artistic!!

It will be a classical scene, perhaps a little Italian in flavour - the
house has some Italian style.

There will be the odd little roo hiding i the scenery as well ;-)
