Yeah, yeah, I know. Like I need another, another hobby. I feel like it’s the natural progression from sketching however. I haven’t been sharing much art here, but I have been working away at it continuously over the last several months. The last thing I posted on the blog was a sketch of a poppy in a field. Here is the acrylic painting of that sketch. Given my work in progress is a story about the First World War, I think this is a good first painting to share.

Another hobby and you still have my admiration…😀

A lovely painting Meg. Have you considered using oil on canvas? It enhances the deepness of the colors, you can find some examples of my work on my blog to illustrate.

Thank you. Yes, eventually I’d like to try oil painting. I thought I’d get my practice with acrylics first!
