Whisby nature park











Had a good day today painting with some other members of Lincolnshire Artists Society at Whisby nature park. Chatting to people all day painting on the Boardwalk behind the cafe and visitor centre and I managed to get two done! This morning the one with the strange white things in the foreground (which seem to be two silver birch trees chopped in half), and then after lunch I looked down into the water more. I was very pleased with that duck! Sadly the blue shows up wrong on the photo! The blue at the bottom middle isn't how it looks on my photo - it's more of a subtle violet-blue but my phone can't pick up the violet hue at all!

  1. They are both gorgeous! The top is my favorite. Amazed at the size and having been able to do two. You are amazing!

    1. Wow thanks Karen! I usually aim to do two but end up with one. I was there from 10am to 4.00pm so had a long time :-)

  3. Nice work Haidee, I'm a big lover of painting ponds, lakes and the like. I really like the bold composition in the top one and gorgoeus blues, doesn't miss the violet BTW in my opinion.

  5. Haidee, you've done it again. So clever to use the reflected clouds to make a great composition, lilies/algae, too. You've inspired me to go back into one of mine. All the blues are gorgeous. And Mabel and her big sister both got to attend this event, I hope you didn't have far to carry them!

    1. Ha ha! Only a fellow plein air painter would think of these practical matters! My car wasn't far away Bobbi, a few hundred yards that's all. I went back to fetch the other easel so that I could still display the first one while starting work on the second. Wish I could always be so productive! :-)
