Watercolours

Welcome to my Watercolour Gallery. In this slideshow, I present some of the watercolour creations I have published on this blog since 2017.

Some are a little more random than others, but that is the creation process.

    Took a while, but finally found your art site. They are great, but one of my favorites is the simplicity of the brushes in the glass jar. And I guess you are a Catwoman fan😳☺️

      A superhero fan actually, Cheryl, but Catwoman was available at the time.
      And thanks for finding this page. I have all sorts of things hidden within the nooks and crannies.

          Only so far at the moment, but I’m always adding new stuff. When I get on here, I hasten to add! 😀

        I love superheros. Takes you out of everyday life sometimes.

          They do that, Cheryl! Sometimes just that little bit of dramatic magic is just enough to pass the time nicely.

    These are wonderful. I’m especially taken by the beach chair (it would look wonderful in my bedroom) and the jar of artists brushes (it speaks to me).Still I may have different favorites next time I look.

    You are very talented.

    Loved your watercolour slide show Tom… I had not seen this feature on your older theme… Though i did l think like it better.. with your larger header.. But no doubt you are about to tweak things into shape as you normally do..

      Thanks, Sue. The slideshow has been part of the menu for a while, maybe it wasn’t as obvious on the old theme.
      This current one, however, will most definitely be changing soon. there are too many moving parts when I’m replying to comments… things flying in left right and centre, and then fading in and out of view. I prefer things much more simple! Sigh. Will I ever find the right theme???

        I thought it was because of the new theme I spotted it Tom.. I keep looking for another theme.. then always just change the colour backdrop to mine.. As I have yet to find one that I like as much as the one I have.. and that I can manipulate with headers etc.. 😀

          Yes… I find they all have good features, but then lack all of the required features!
          I think I’ll try and stick with this one for a while now.

    You are quite a talented man, Tom. I love these watercolors. So far, I am giving my heart to the bunnies and seahorse.

      I haven’t painted in watercolour for a while now, Jesh, but seemed to be drawn to animals. I must inwardly like a challenge!

        I have so many projects, Tom…and it sometimes feels there is not enough time in a day. I just picked up the book “the Artist’s Way” by Julia Cameron. It came on my radar a while ago, but I saw it on a shelf yesterday…and I’ve a feeling it landed in my hands at the perfect time!
        Check it out…it might be timely for you as well.

    hi Sir A, …I got lost, …wandering around the grinds, … and thought to sit, rest and catch up on ‘thing wot I missed’…being away, …so I’ve found your watercolour suite, …( I keep scrolling up and down and the flipping comment keeps sticking, so I’m copying like crazy, ) Froggie Ont’ Lily Pads my favourite, dare not backspace or scroll, so I do hope I get to the end of this rather long winded essay before I lose my equilibrium, not that I had any to begin with, …Did I spy the Tardis? Righto I’m off to leave you in peace, …Now is it two turns to the right, then straight on ‘til morning? …💫Penn💫

      Hi Penn…. it is easy to get lost in The Grinds, and equally easy in the Mansion.

      I’ve only just found this comment taped to the door of the Gallery, so apologies for the late (well, later than usual, which is really saying something!) reply.

      It’s been a while since I’ve touched watercolour… I may have to use that TARDIS and make me some time.

      I’ve just spotted the dust and cobwebs, so I’m going to leave things here for now. See you in the Mansion proper soon! 🙂

    So, you are the Tom at 6SS, yes? Denise mentioned you to me regarding my fictional couple’s upcoming wedding…something about you make pastries? Could you do a wedding cake, ya think? It’s not like you actually have to set out the ingreds and mix it up–it’s pure Fiction (but kinda sorta real to me). Nice to meet you–take good care of you! Rene

      Thanks, Rene… and yes, it is I! Hello, again. 🙂
      Wedding cake, you say? Well, it just so happens I made two just the other day.
      A special black and silver one:

      And a traditional white one:

      The flowers and the silver all editable!
      Hope you like them! 😉

        Bedelia would like the tradititional one please, and Tom–if you could, her colors are sapphire blue, seashell pink, and maybe a medium rose color or else light aqua. I’m thrilled that you’ll be part of the wedding in this way–I’ll let you know the date as soon as she tells me😉 This is so fun to have “strangers” be part of a big day! God bless you!!

          Hi, Rene, here’s another I’ve created. More traditional with ‘accents’ of the colours you mention:

          And one more slightly different variant:

            Oh Tom!! You have me weeping with gratitude–I never would have thought you’d bring me this wonderful gift today. Both are SO Gorgeous–“Bedelia” will be thrilled!! How can I ever thank you? (besides that I’ll be linking to you on the wedding day–you’ll be my blog friend for life!)
