In need of some paint ! by Avril Soldani

No! it's much more attractive like this Avril ;o)

It looks real Avril and the colours compliment each other so very well :)

You have given it all the paint it needed. Looks great. Nobody would look at it if it was brand new.

Avril you have a talented sharp eye for taking the ordinary and turning it into the extraordinary. Your portfolio is full of examples of this as you turn rusty everyday objects - the sort of things that lots of people would not even notice - into the most delicate and beautiful paintings. This is yet another lovely addition to your gallery.

Thank you all for your lovely comments which I really appreciate. I love painting old things that are still going strong proving that craftsmen made/make things to last !

In need of painting? I think you've just painted it - just one word: Superb.

Very beautiful, very beautifully done.

Wonderful Avril, you manage to make something dull and mundane, interesting and exciting!

super work! i like!!

Stunning painting Avril. You have the incredible talent of turning what some people would see as ugly, into the beautiful.

I love these last two postings, so little subject- wise but tells so many stories!

This is just fabulous, just love your work, subjects from my own heart. Seasonal greetings Avril, look forward to seeing more of your work next year.

Glad you like it and thanks for taking a moment to tell me .France is full of old villages where many buildings are ageing and often crumbling! so subjets for my paintings are abundant. They do need some embellishment though....not always a beautiful blue! Best wishes to all for Christmas and good health and inspiration for 2013.

I always enjoy your superb paintings. Seems ages since your rusty pipes! Lovely to see and look forward to more.

Hello Avril! Always a pleasure to find one of your paintings on the gallery. This one does not disappoint either, being up to your usual artistic high standard. Thank you for all your support in 2012 and look forward to enjoying more of your work in 2013.

Happy Christmas Avril. Lovely to see one of your paintings again, beautifully executed as always.

So beautiful as always Avril! A very very talented lady!!!

As usual your wonderful paint textures have me reaching for the blowtorch and chisel! Lovely work Avril. What's on the other side?

Merci, Grazie mille..... can't say how much I appreciate your lovely words! Kim, I think you'd be a bit disappointed...it's just a garage door seen in Argeles! Quite a bit of "artistic licence" but then I think that's what it's all about. A happy Christmas to all and thank you for all the support throughout the year; and of course Happy Painting.

Agree with all previous comments what great colour choices, and portrayal of the wood and rusted metal, so effective
