That's class!

Indeed she does, she is a lovely, lovely person. And she has the patience of a saint to sit down for hours for this:)

Last week she was an octogenarian. I am blown away by some of the stuff he does.

But she is only in her late 20's:)

A painting of Glendalough, completed today, the first of two of the spot.

Super work - the water is very well done

Thanks
I mean, I'd love to be able to paint water with the energy as you have done... but everytime I paint water it ends up like my own!
I can't seem to get the motion into it.
More practice required!

I've been working on Cyanotype prints the last couple of weeks. It's an interesting process without being too technical. I've been using a mix of some of my own images and others I just thought looked good. I'll get a bit more experimental as time goes on...

They make for nice cards too

That one that's not safe for work - is that part of the process?

That boat pulling one is great

New Home · 09-03-2021 12:59pm

Creativity or creation? Or rather, generation?

That's Shackleton's crew from HMS Endurance crossing Drake's Passage.

Came out very well.

Another painting of Glendalough, same customer as my previous one.
I'm not a fan of this at all, but the customer is always right!

Thanks Newhome, mixed up my backslash/forwardslash!

Rush harbour at night.
It's a larger canvas than I am used to, but I think it worked out well.
It's better in person, I promise!

I'm not sure what is in the water, here in North Co. Dublin, but I seem to be getting quite a bit painted lately, which is great.

CiDeRmAn · 16-07-2021 11:05pm

Just wonderful, so good

Wolff · 30-08-2021 10:43am

Been down to West Cork over the summer and not too much time dedicated to painting - though I did manage to re purpose one rather drab picture into something a bit different - hope you like it !

mary_jein · 29-09-2021 12:15pm

your works are great!

Wolff · 04-10-2021 4:58pm

One more from west cork that has an Autumn feel to it !

My paintings have taken on a different tone the last few months - and I'm not sure how or why ! Acrylic on raised canvas - Hope you like it - The Low Winter Sun

Stovepipe · 27-12-2021 1:39pm

Can I ask why you changed tack and outlined the cliffs and rocks much more than in your previous work? It's lovely,by the way.

Wolff · 28-12-2021 2:04pm

I haven't changed tack at all really some paintings are free of the outlining and some are very light - I do like doing though as its a two step process - in that I paint the picture then come back to outline it - its very enjoyable watching the picture transform - gives me a kick ! - except when it turns out crap out of course 😁

Lovely work Wolf, your techniques are very distinctive. What brush do you use for outlining . . a rigger?

Wolff · 21-03-2022 9:30am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118805323#Comment_118805323

Thanks for that - glad you like them - I use an acrylic pen for the outlining - much easier to use than a brush

I start with exterior masonry paint,then i add the colour using acrylic and finally coat everything in exterior yacht varnish..its a fair bit of work but gives long-lating results.

One for the Dubs - Ferry View of Dublin - Acrylic on Board

Mike Litoris · 04-07-2022 2:00pm

Fantastic, Wolff!! Probably my favourite view of Dublin.

josephmcfarland878 · 09-08-2022 1:20pm

I love doing stuff like this! In general, my hobby is home decor and I love to do it all from improvised means. Like this for example. Of course, I do not always have the strength and ideas for all this, but I look at the ideas on the site . Might be useful for someone

Graces7 · 20-09-2022 5:16pm

Still always knitting..

I was given a shop full of yarn a few years ago.. this is a blanket worked with luxurious vintage mohair...

Soft and thick...

and smaller items..

em_cat · 20-09-2022 8:56pm

The last full pair I finished, in truth I only love to knit socks, no idea why. Can’t bring myself to do a blanket or finish the pullovers I’ve languishing beside the sofa!

New Home · 20-09-2022 9:02pm

GORGEOUS!!

Ah lovely..The one thing I do not knit is socks so we make a good team!!! Most of my work is for sale now,,to feed and clothe the needy, and getting limited as my hands are old and worn...The blanket is the exception as I use it abed with me and needed it and the yarn was not needed elsewhere and yes I would sell it. All the other itmes are long gone.

Blessed I am to be able still to work at what I love in my old age and t o give of my skills and so ENJOY it,

em_cat · 20-09-2022 10:20pm

I grew up knitting my ballet shorts, leg warmers, shrugs and little socks like the yoga ones these days so I am kind of surprised that I still love to knit socks so much that I always have some to work on with me. I only knit for myself and family, I’m not as fast as I once was so now it’s more for pleasure. I often get asked if I sell them but as you know the value wouldn’t be appreciated. Both my husband and I pretty much only wear hand knitted socks, I do also make them in DK weight for boot socks and sometimes I make the felted ones for house socks and slippers.

I do knit up little leg warmers & tiny socks for dogs & cats to go over bandages for one of the Vets. They love them & the clients love them too.

Your lucky that you can knit with mohair, I can’t as it drives my allergies mental so I’m always looking for nice lace weight alpaca that can be difficult to find.

I knit whatever yarn is given... Springwools have been kindness personfied for 20 years now, as they support several charities .. There is no way I could buy yarn

Every now and then I find the postman has dropped a parcel over the gate... Or even a huge box.. Treasure trove,

That vintage yarn is not hairy mohair! It does not shed but is soft and luxurious. Mostly I work with good acrylic... NB I cannot wear wool at all.

There is a chapter in Anne of Green Gables where a disabled bedbound lady says she cannot fight in the war,, " But I can knit!" YAY!

Creating beauty that cheers and feeds..Even abed.

Oh I would love t work just one more full size Aran! I would not charge per hour.. a fair price.
