Sea Fever - apologies to John Masefield

[Daisy]

"I must go down to the sea again, to the lonely sea and the sky"

Yes, I'm afraid I'm back on the seascapes!

This is a work in progress which I've been putting off working on for two or three weeks because I wasn't happy with how it was going. Today I painted over the bits I didn't like. It's a long way from finished, and the next challenge is to put detail in the rocks. Then I want the sea crashing over them.

Clever you|

[Nanto2girls]

Daisy, thats one heck of a good start.

[Gemini]

A very good start indeed Daisy!
Did it feel good to get back to painting again?

[Oma]

I can almost hear the waves crashing , Fantastic start , such talent shouldn't be wasted , hope your hanging it on your wall when its finished xxx

[Daisy]

Thank you ladies - you always boost my confidence. I seriously have no idea how to judge either my photos or my daubings.

Gem - yes, it felt great. I can't work for too long as my shoulder starts aching, but I do love it. Oma - I don't know! We'll see - it could all go horribly wrong as I've never done rocks before and I've never done waves crashing on them either.

[Oma]

Well your doing a great job , I can see the water rolling and swelling its very dramatic

[Daisy]

Oma - thank you so much for that - it was what I was hoping to achieve.

[WeeGranny]

I'm envious! I packed my paints etc away in anticipation of our move and I'm not sure I can be bothered to get them back out again! I may end up buying some more stuff!!

Good start to your painting though Daisy!

Yup, that sea looks wet! Very impressive Daisy.

You reminded me of Spike Milligan’s version…

I must go down to the sea again,
The lonely sea and the sky.
I left my vest and socks there,
I wonder if they’re dry.

Lol Grauntie.
When I was very young I worked for a theatre company touring schools. One of the shows was a poetry workshop thing. Several funny poems and that was one of them 😊 Happy memories.

[Daisy]

Grauntie - I loved Spike's verses, and I'd forgotten that one. Thanks for the memory.

I did a bit more today. I started to tackle the rocks which I think are really hard. Nowhere near finished yet, but a bit of progress (hopefully!)
