An update on my latest painting....very little progress over 6 weeks! Have a lovely weekend! 🥰 by @tonimariald

I'm finding it little difficult to focus....but have managed to start something new, this Bromeliad dried flower head from one of my Dad's plants. It's taken me a few weeks to draw. At this rate I'm hoping it'll be completed for the SBA exhibition next year! 🤞
I've posted my palette of gorgeous colours & a photo of my quiet working space. Oh & a beautiful piece of music by Bach that always stirs the emotions! by @tonimariald

Just for fun....'Three Cats' Backs' 🤔😜
Happy weekend everyone! by @tonimariald

Yippee.....I've managed to finish something!
There are other priorities in life at the moment but a few hours every now & then with a paintbrush, paint & paper are cherished moments! 🥰 by @tonimariald

I've managed some more painting! Hoping to finish it soon. by @tonimariald

I found these beauties at the local market. So many subtle shifts of colour. After my initial glazes I'm putting in detail & then creating more sculpting & shaping with glazes. Still unable to find the focus I need for the strelizia. Have a lovely weekend everyone....very wet, cold & grey here! by @tonimariald

Thank you SBA for selecting 2 of my paintings for this year's #plantae26 exhibition. An international online exhibition running from 1st June-30th June. Happy weekend to all 💖🩷💖 by @tonimariald

Forgot to add my paintings that were included in the book in the previous post! 🤔😜 by @tonimariald

I've just received this beautiful book. How lovely to see my work in print. Thank you to everyone involved for including my work. 🙏🥰 by @tonimariald

Hoping I can get my focus back to the Strelitzias. by @tonimariald

Two weeks of illness but I've nearly finished the 'Aubergine Marracas'. Off to pick up some more antibiotics to clear up the sinusitis! 🤞 by @tonimariald

The handles of my 'Aubergine Marracas' are slowly coming to life! 😊 by @tonimariald
