BIRDS NESTING ON BIRD HOUSE

WHAT A TRUELY BEAUTIFUL PICTURE OF TWO BIRDS NESTING. "HEY LOOK" AT THE OTHER BIRD PEEKING OUT OF THE BIRD HOUSE.

 THE COLORS, THE LIFE LIKE AUTHENTICITY OF THESE BIRDS. I MUST ADMIT THIS PAINTING WILL  CONTINUE TO INSPIRE YOU.

ELEANOR WILL SPEND SEVERAL HOURS A DAY PAINTING THESE PICTURES. SOMETIMES  USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS UNDER THE LIGHTS. MIXING SEVERAL COLORS TOGETHER TO DEVELOP THE COLOR THE PHOTO CALLS FOR. THINK OF A "TOPOGRAPHICAL MAP" WITHOUT ANY COLORS. NOW VISUALIZE ALL THE LINES AND THE LITTLE SPECS OF SCATTERED COLORLESS SPACES THAT MAKE UP THE BACKGROUND AND FLOWERS AND TREES OF THESE PAINTINGS. SO MANY EXAMPLES OF DIFFERENT COLORS SPREAD THROUGHOUT THESE PAINTINGS.  THE AMOUNT OF CONCENTRATION AND LOVE THAT WENT INTO THESE CREATIONS IS SOMETHING I HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY AND BLESSING  TO WITNESS. 

ELEANOR HAS DONE AN OUTSTANDING JOB CREATING THIS WORK OF ART. 

CAPTURE THE FEELING OF HOT AIR BALLOONING

I HAVE TO TAKE THE PICTURES OUT OF THE FRAMES SINCE THE FLASH HAS LEFT THAT SUN SPOT IN ALL OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS. OH WELL FOR NOW ENJOY THE CREATIVITY AND COLOR MIXURES OF THE HOT AIR BALLOONING PORTRAIT.

I SHALL TRY TO FIND A WAY TO LET YOU REALLY SEE THE COLORING OF THE PICTURES BUT MY FIRST DAY WITH THIS NEW CAMERA ,A LUMIX, BY PANASONIC LEAVES ME WITH LITTLE EXPERIENCE IN DOING THIS. THIS IS KIND OF A RUSH JOB POSTING THESE TO THE BLOG MOSTLY FOR OUR OWN SATISFACTION FOR NOW.

VENICE A TRUELY BEAUTIFUL PAINTING

THE SCENIC CANALS OF VENICE IS WHAT WE ARE VIEWING HERE.

THIS PICTURE IS TRUELY BEAUTIFUL. THE PAINTING HAS COLORS MIXED TO THE ARTISTS TASTES AND BECAUSE "PAINT BY NUMBER PAINTINGS" HAVE THIS FEATURE EACH ARTIST IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN BLENDING OF THE COLORS. NO TO "PBN'S," WILL LOOK THE SAME; SOMEWHERE IN THE PAINTING THE COLOR OR SHADING, OR STROKE WILL BE DIFFERENT FROM ARTIST TO ARTIST  AND INDIVIUAL.

 AN INSPIRATION TO SAY THE LEAST WHEN ONE CAN VIEW THE COMPLETION OF THEIR INDIVIUAL WORK OF ART. THESE KITS HAVE IN THE PAST AND CONTINUE TODAY TO OFFER THE INDIVIUAL AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLORE THEIR ARTISTIC ABILITIES. A GREAT HOBBY.  ELEANOR REALLY ENJOYS DOING THESE PAINTINGS. SHE HAS BEEN CREATING THESE WORKS OF ART EVER SINCE TRYING THE FIRST ONE SEVERAL YEARS AGO.

COTTAGE BY POND

 THIS WAS ONE OF THE FIRST PAINT BY NUMBER PAINTINGS MY MOM, ELEANOR, PAINTED.  IT IS A SCENE OF A COUNTRY COTTAGE. SURVEYS DONE BY THE PAINT BY NUMBER INDUSTRY SHOW MOST "PBN" ARTISTS ENJOY PAINTING THE LANDSCAPES AND "STILL LIFE" FLORAL ART. THEY DO NOT ENJOY PAINTING PEOPLE AS MUCH AS LANDSCAPES AND STILL LIFE FLORALS. I BELIEVE THIS PAINTING WAS DONE IN 2010 AND THE MORE ONE VIEWS IT THE MORE YOU REALIZE HOW MUCH WORK THE ARTIST HAS ACTUALLY PUT INTO IT.

LENARDO PAINTED BY ELEANOR S IN 2010

 

 THIS PAINTING OF LENARDO IS MY FAVORITE. LENARDO IS A METAPHOR FOR ELEANOR AS SHE CONTINUES TO PURSUE THIS HOBBY. LIKE LENARDO WHO IS SURRONDED BY ALL THESE PAINTS AND COLORS ELEANOR IS THE SAME WAY WHEN SHE IS INVOLVED WITH ONE OF HER PAINTINGS. 

THE ARTISTS PALETTE WITH ALL THE MIXED COLORS, SEVERAL BRUSHES BOTH IN AND OUT OF A GLASS OF WATER.  ON THE TABLE PAPER TOWELS AND CLOTHS USED TO BLEND AND  PREMIX MANY OF THE COLORS TOGETHER TO

CREATE SHADOWS AND LIFE LIKE IMAGES IN THIS PICTURE OF LENARDO.

 ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF A  BEAUTIFUL PAINTING.
