Wandering Outside in Europe...

I was taking a VIRTUAL walk around the lake with Madelief last week and decided to paint one of her photos... after saying goodbye to Madelief... I had south to sketch a street in my favorite city... Paris... and then even further south to Annecy, France...

I will be painting these sketches once I find a little time... and I will share them with YOU! Right now I have to get back to painting dogs... on the beach... and SURPRISE dogs in certain places for certain people...

ooooh what JOY to get a CUSTOM painting just for YOU of a loved one!!!

Okkkk... while I paint why don't YOU visit all the other Outdoor Wednesday participants via A Southern Dreamer ... and pop over and say hello to Madelief and see the FAB photos she takes... I think I will be stealing this one to paint next...

Hi Fifi,

First thing I spotted this morning when I opened my blog was your windmill. It looks beautiful! You captured it very well!!! Thank you so much for the sweet words too. I like your style of painting. It looks so cheerful, with the simple lines and bold colours! I enjoy painting as well. If it comes to colours my way of painting resembles your style a little. I like to paint with bright colours as well. Unfortunately because of my job and the fact that I like so many other things too (like going places, cooking and photography) I don't spend much time painting anymore. I look forward to seeing your next painting of the piano :)

Enjoy your day! Lieve groet, Madelief

Hi, Fifi, those dog paintings look wonderful as do the others. Maybe at some point, I will have a new furbaby for you to paint.

Happy Outdoor Wed!

XO,

Sheila :-)

Oh, it is so nice after being away for several months to see your paintings and sketches.

The windmill is beautiful, but I'm all about dogs on beaches! Actually, I love dogs anywhere, any time.

Nice to be back FiFi, I missed your fabulous blog!

The dog painting is adorable. The black against the blue sky. Striking! I'm getting the itch for another pet...
