Fiddling by Diana Boanas Swa ASGFA

Lovely sense of light as usual.

So lovely, Diana!

Very good exploration!

Thank you Linda. It’s a novelty to put the highlights on last. Thank you Manoj. I certainly need more space to put drying oil paintings Thank you Heather. It’s knowing when to stop!

Great, carry on exploring!

I love the textures you have created in this.

There's a real sparkle to your background. The lively brushwork makes it shimmer like dappled glass.

I love this Diana, it's great!

Great colours and shapes.

It has vitality Diana

Great work

Love the way you paint glass,,lovely little jar.

Super painting Diana

Love your glass paintings Diana.

Thank you Sandra. I will do for a few days. Thank you Denise. I’m finding that I can change the look so quickly with just a few brush strokes Thank you Colette. I was not sure if the dappled look was too distracting. I liked it so trying to stop following rules etc so much and enjoy playing. Thank you Diane. I loved the light coming through the bottles. Thank you Val-Irene. The colours were glorious and I haven’t done them justice really. Thank you John. I’m really pleased with that compliment. Thank you Romila. It’s messy but enjoyable. Mind you , I make a dreadful mess with watercolour 😂 Thank you Anne. The jar was my favourite bit to work. Thank you David. I have some more canvasses so might keep the momentum going. Thank you Carole. I might try something completely different next 😳

You are a fabulous painter of light in whatever media you choose Diana. Keep on Fiddling.

Thank you Brian. That’s a great compliment.

Especially like the jar and foreground marks and colours, Diana.

Love your ability to take the mundane and make it interesting and full of colour and life, Diana. A rare gift.

You can make the ordinary look amazing, Diana. I agree with everyone else, regarding textures and colours.

You are the diva of highlights and reflections Diana. Just stunning.

I wish my fiddling turned out as good as this Diana, love the jam pot.

Superb as usual.

A beautifully painted collection !

This has such a luminous quality Diana. I really love it.

Thank you Jenny. I went back to it and strengthened a few bits and actually signed it which is a rare occurrence! I sign my watercolours on the back. Thank you Jim and Ellen. My kitchen is like a stage with theatrical lighting. Thank you Carole. I really have a wonderful source of light from my kitchen window. Thank you for your ongoing support Fiona. I the last few days, I’ve painted four and scraped two off. I’m getting a bit more confident with the paint and different brushes. Thank you Stephen and Anne. I’m really spurred on in this challenge with your encouragement. Thank you again Audrey. I really value your opinion

You are so good at painting glass, Diana - this is great.

Thank you very much Maureen. I’m just beginning to get the feel for the different brushes and knives
