Ooh, so nice to see a close-up Ruth. Really love this one. I agree with Lyn that the trees give that fantastic depth.

No, I haven't gotten a name for it yet. I haven't given it much thought really.

I was very excited to see the first quarter challenge because I have been wanting to try painting with wool ever since I borrowed one of Moy Mackay's books from the library last year. Inspired by the beautiful salmon gums that we have in Australia I tried.
Can I restore my self confidence by saying it's in the Naive style?  Despite being disappointed I did still have fun  |

I especially like that it looks like how I imagine Australia - ‘foreign’ to me in a good way, if that makes sense. You’ve really captured a sense of place. The texture in the tree is great as are the colours in the hills and sky. You’ve also got a good sense of depth. I definitely wouldn’t have guessed that was a first try. Sorry you’re disappointed - I think you should be really proud! |

Pamster it's lovely! You've achieved depth in your landscape - not easy to do - and the colours are fab.
I'd never heard of a salmon gum so I googled it and I really think you've captured its beauty.

Thank you all for your kind comments, I do think the salmon gum really is a magnificent tree Yes Lindsay, I think our landscapes are very different, drier and often more barren somehow with more grey in our greens.

The landscape is great. lots of depth and great colours. We are always to hard on ourselves when we make art. Be proud.

Yes Ann, I think it's difficult not to be hard on myself with 25 years experience of marking students' work. Marking for me was always a two stage process: what have they achieved, what could they do to improve; perhaps I could learn to feel the achievement part more strongly. |

I made pieces of nuno pre-felt in seven different bright colours then cut them to shape before placing them onto 4 layers of white merino fibres. After felting I hope I've achieved 'Tulip Fields in Amsterdam'.  link to larger photo |

I put the image in Wordpress Ruth but when I inserted it was too small to see, so I reverted to ipernity.
Can you tell me what I did wrong please?

Fabulous, Lyn. Lovely, bright and crisp. I’m very impressed by the sharpness of those lines! Great idea too.
On the subject of photos - how do you get photos to appear here from Ipernity - I only seem able to copy links?
