Flower, Bird and Fish Paintings

Well, amongst the 3340 submissions I was very pleased to sell two of my paintings. The Night's Roses I placed a photo on the Exhibitions page.:)

Today I entered 6 art pieces in the prestigious Camberwell Art Show. Over 3000 entries so selling will not be too easy! But, you have to be in it to succeed. There are also some big prizes. Well, you just never never know if you never have a go.

Kriss, a member on the site, mentioned beginning painting with oils using Annette Kowalski videos. I did the same thing - and I don't regret it. I also sold some of the paintings I did in Annette's style and learnt a huge amount in the process. Also, the Annette Kowalski approach teaches how to use oils in a professional manner. I may now have learnt a lot more about oil painting, but the techniques i initially studied remain fairly much the same. At a later stage I met with Gary and Kathwren Jenkins and these two wonderful artists showed me how to take basic concepts of oil painting to a more advanced level. So, don't let some artists tell you you don't know what you are doing. If you are painting well, enjoying and even selling your art , then you are on the right track.

Have fun painting, Mike G
