Favourite Colour for APR & PPF

This weeks APR theme is

Your favourite colour.

Way back in 1969

Neil Armstrong made one giant step onto the moon

and in November of that same year

a little 8 year old girl had the same experience

(no not the moon but just as big a step).

We emigrated to Australia from England

and as soon as I got off of the boat,

I looked up and saw the bluest sky I had ever seen.

That colour has stayed with me through all of my art.

The sky is still that beautiful colour and now I am lucky enough

to live by the ocean as well.

My favourite colours to paint with are blue and yellow.

I didn't have time to do a special painting for this week,

so here are some of my favourite blues.

I did this painting in oils, it's 2' x 3' and took forever to do.

even my fun acrylic paintings have the blue in them.

I don't think I have many paintings without blue,

except of course my pet portraits

but someone might want me to paint a blue poodle,

you never know.

My favourite blue at the moment is my new mug

that my gorgeous girls just bought me.

 

Oh yeh, that's right, I'm a Dr Who fan,

been watching it since the 60's

don't like the new bloke though, give me David Tennant anyday.

The amazing thing is

the cup is much bigger on the inside

and it keeps moving and turning up 

in different places.

I'm linking up to Jenn's Artists Playroom

and Paint Party Friday,

so why not hop on over and 

visit.

I have a pussy cat to paint

and no it's not blue.
