Well, I have been a busy bee

Even though I say it myself.  I have done very well! Completed five paintings in four days more or less.  I know this one is very similar to my previous Morlaix yachts, but that little painting went to Chekoslovakia months ago, so I've painted it afresh.  

Going back to my favourite Blossom scene.  People call me Blossom these days.  I thought I would incorporate a yacht with my blossoms this time.

White Yacht Viewed through Summer Blossom

Then....I added another little white yacht to my collection,

I like this little one very much,

White Yacht Viewed through Hawthorn with Blackbird....

Actually, this is the same painting that I did last week, only I've extended the coastline and improved the water.

So, you see, it is my set of three.

Finally, this was the first Acrylic painting I ever did, but it wasn't very great, so I changed it today to the view of a Cornish Cove from the cliff top.  Barry and I went to Lamorna yesterday and walked over the cliffs.  There was a glut of foxgloves.  Absolutely stunning.  Anyway, it inspired me to do this........it looks better in real life than in this photo.



I'm going to hang some paintings in Fowey library this week and these ones will be included. :) 

Bye for now.



Can't believe June's here already, slow down....

EXHIBITION OF PAINTINGS BY JEAN COWSILL

AT CAMBORNE LIBRARY MAY 2012 UNTIL END AUGUST

EXHIBITION OF PAINTINGS BY JEAN COWSILL

AT FOWEY LIBRARY JUNE 2012 UNTIL END JULY 2012

Not bad ay? :)  Just call me the Librarian.

Fowey is my fourth library, I've exhibited at Penzance, St Agnes, Camborne (still on) and now Fowey.  In September I will exhibit at St Austell Library for a month or so and then next year, 2013, I will exhibit at St Ives Library!  good one.

YACHTS AT MOUNTS BAY

As I have five days off now, I have begun to do a set of boats, a set of trees and a set of blossoms to take over to Fowey Libary and hopefully there will be some interest from passing holiday makers.  This painting is quite cute I think, possibly attractive to holiday makers.  I like it anyway. It's 10" x 12" Acrylic on Canvas, painted it last weekend.

Easter Cards 2012

I was reasonably creative at Easter and created these cards. Acrylic on Canvas.  The main picture is the front of the card and the smaller one is on the back. 

Easter Blossom

Easter Egg

Easter Bunny!

Oak Trees in Lavender

I've done quite a few paintings lately but forgotten to photograph them before I get rid of them.  Silly really.  Anyway, I've just completed this little painting today and I'm quite pleased with it.  Oak trees standing in lavender fields in South of France.  It's 10" x 12", Acrylic on canvas.  I like it.  Do you?

Blossom over Lake in Kent

Acrylic on Canvas 12" x 9". Pretty little canvas painting of blossoms yet again, I love the water in this.

 

St Michael's Through the Hawthorn Trees

Got round to painting again at the end of January and this is what I came up with.  I'm very pleased with it. It's my favourite one of St Michael's Mount so far. It's  12" x 9" Acrylic on Canvas.

Next, I decided to "blossom up" my blackberries by the sea painting which turned into this:-

I think it's quite pretty although I may change the sea a little.  It's 12" x 10", Acrylic on Canvas.

I found a lovely photo of blossom trees in Kent, so at the moment I'm working on that.

My library exhibiton seems to be reasonably popular.  I've sold my Dutch Elms to somebody I know, so at least I will be able to see them again if I want to, hopefully....

Too Busy to Paint

I've done no painting at all yet this year. been too busy working and going to the class and hanging the paintings......

The Penzance Library Exhibition has been hung now though and it's very exciting receiving comments from people.  Nobody seems to put their comments on this blog though, or in the little Comments Book at the Library.  I suppose it's a bit of a  bindy first of all to put comments on the blog, if you haven't got a Google email address, it's very easy really though, once you've done it.  Never mind, I'm just glad quite a few people seem to be interested.....it's very exciting having my own exhibition...and receiving compliments....people are too kind.....I don't mind receiving constructive criticism though.....in fact I would appreciate it......

Anyway, I'll put some more pics on here soon and maybe hang them in the Library as well if I have time......

Bye for now. :)

Thanks for looking!
