We've had a painting by John Dyer in the bathroom for years, sloping horizon, poor perspective, pretty Cornish boats. Very quaint picture, very annoying as its lack of perspective works!!!
I started today to research how to paint a cottage and found Jo Grundy' s art and basically copied a couple!!
Top / Moonlit Coast ( just imagine there is massive illumination from street lights, not visible in the foreground, lighting the flower beds!!)
Bottom / Street Scene ( nicked balloon idea from Vikki!)
These will not be binned by Jackie but maybe by the recipients??!!

I like these, the colours are really cool. The two birds right over the houses look like sideways sky divers to me, which is also rather fun 🤗 Nice copy, glad you enjoyed yourself. That is most of the point.
@30pics4jackiesdiamond Very imaginative and I like the bright colors, they are very cheery, even the Moonlit Coast. Kudos to you for creating hands on art! You are always growing as an artist.

Too bad you think of this as lost time. I would have said it's time wisely spent - as you say you enjoyed it... You are so contradictory.
I would be well pleased if I did these. Thank you for the references. They are both terrific artists. I've never heard of them. But their art is terrific!
@jacqbb thank you Jacq, @monikozi I lost myself and all concept of time in doing these- it was meant to be a positive thnng, but I'm usually sooooooooooooo negative I can see your thinking!! Thanks Moni @casablanca oh gosh they do, perhaps one with her shadow?! Thanks Casa @theredcamera that is so true, perhaps of all art forms? Thank you Ellen
@30pics4jackiesdiamond I love the movement you captured in both bodies of water and there are so many pretty colors in both of them. It looks to me like it was time well spent with great results in both photos
@30pics4jackiesdiamond I am sure that you did not mean it in a negative way: after all, you did 2 of them. Had it been a waste of time, you would have abandoned the process after the first one. I just did not agree to the association of loosing time in this. It definitely does not show that you lost time. Just look at the level of detail and care you put into it. That you lost yourself into it, or that you lost track of time in this... that is simply wonderful. And it shows in the results.
@kjarn thank you very much, I used pencils! @monikozi you're very kind Moni, now to transfer enjoyment to paints and brushes! @randystreat they are very naive aren't they @grammyn thank you Katie, v kind @salza beat doing housework
Still not found my style, but I enjoyed losing an afternoon on these
