I finished my little Van Gogh’s inspired SKY, challenge by @AIMR

I’m not pleased with the mountains, but the sky is nice. I am not much of a painter, so I used my aquarel pencils. Love them!
It was fun and I think the idea of painting the movement of the sky by Van Gogh was brilliant. I am a fan of his work :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I also admire Van Gogh…and you did beautifully with pencils!! The swirling sky is so calming to me…like being washed over with waves from the ocean…ahhhhh

Thanks ladies! You are too kind!

It was a good reminder of using my aquarel pencils more often. So much fun!

@MistressJennie you are such a crafty woman! :orange_heart:

Mountains are hard to paint!

Yes they are! And since I was focussing on the sky, I decided to leave it like this. I am not that good at drawing or painting. Which is okay, I stick to sewing and crochet, my main crafts :grin:

Here’s my completed project for the Fairy Tales challenge from @GMPNQ


It’s a planter with a quote from Jack (of beanstalk fame :smile:) from “Into the Woods.” It’s a little hard to read in the picture, it says “the difference between a cow and a bean is a bean can begin an adventure!”

@wendiek @AIMR - When I went to see his paintings in NYC, I just stood there and cried. I felt like I was looking at so much beauty and history. The rest of my family did not understand, but that’s ok.
