Clematis study by Carole Swingler

It looks fabulous framed Carole!

Looking good Carole.

Stunning Carole, you are very talented when you do botanical studies, beautiful :-)

Thanks very much Fiona, Val and Rebecca.

It looks great framed Carole, beautifully painted.

What a lovely study these clematis flowers make - it looks really good in a frame. You have some really excellent flower studies in your portfolio Carole.

It looks beautiful framed, Carole - the frame really brings out the lovely purples.

Thanks Glennis, Julie and Seok for your kind comments.

Excellent work Carole

This looks amazing framed - a wonderful painting to have on your wall which would lift the spirits every time you looked at it.

Thank you Larry, hope you are keeping well. Thanks Thea.

Beautiful !

Thanks so much Avril.

Hi Carole Ros P here just your kind comment on my pastel portrait of my granddaughter, thanks so much for that was beginning to think no one had noticed it and I was thinking I had made quite a good job of it, it's first pastel portrait I have ever done and first person portrait I have done in about 30 years, so I was hoping for some comments!

Love your botanical watercolours Carole and so does everyone else! You do great for comments, no wonder with how good you are at these, just seen your lovely comment on my wee Scottie pastel dog portrait, thanks so much for that, I seem to be really into pastel at the moment so it is good to see that people like what I am doing, thanks again

Hi Carole love your lovely comment on my pastel portrait of 'Angel' the lovely little boy, the photo of him was simply irresistable, with his facial features in sharp relief and everything else fading into the background, if the link to the original photo that I left in my comment on it works you will be able to see exactly what I mean, those links don't always work on other sites though anyway thanks again Carole xxx

Thank you Ros, sorry this is late answering, I really appreciate it. I will have a look at the photo. X

Thanks Carole for being so thoughtful. That Autumn wood of mine you commented on so maturely I am about to grasp it and bring it more paint to make it magical .Please remind me to send you the result in about a month or so .Remind me on woodhouse554@ btinternet.com

I don't think my messages are being printed .I press on reply ?

Hi Carole, hey you really struck a chord with your lovely botanical works!, thanks so much for your generous comment on my boxer pastel portrait, I have really enjoyed doing some white on black tonal works this week, great to hear that you think is such a good one, I did really enjoy getting all the wrinkles and texture into his portrait I have to say

Lovely work carole and excellent gallery

Hi Carole, thanks so much for your upper comment on my David Frost pastel portrait, delighted you think it is a good likeness, I felt it was myself I wanted to capture him as so many will remember him with a look depicting him in mid interview with his mouth slightly open ready to jump in with his next question x

Yes you caught that look of his so well!

Thank you Dermot appreciate your kind comment.

Hi Carole thanks so much for your lovely comment on my Giant Schnauzer pastel drawing, did you see the other one I posted at the same time, it is on the next page now and is of the other version of the breed the Miniature Schnauzer

These flowers are painted beautifully Carole!
