Liebster Award

Have been awarded my second of these and am just as thrilled as the first time... awarded by Elaine Magliacane who keeps a daily journal on her blog. She keeps it as something to share with her Grandchildren and if I remember rightly to show them the virtues of "real" writing as she does daily in her work... not only that she is a lovely artist too!!

So in keeping with the tradition of these awards, here are my five... not easy again but hope you enjoy these!!

The first is to Ink and Alchemy. My path crossed with Robin on facebook and we seem to have a lot in common, although she does seem to have a lot more energy than me!! She writes, produces videos as well as paints but also uses her blog to promote the work of other artists, check it out you won't be disappointed!!

Next is Kaye Parmenter... such a talented lady, her blog is very well written and more importantly houses some of her gorgeous work.....I  am doing an online course she is running at the moment which I decided to do as I love her painting and style and am sure has has a thing or two to teach me!!!

3rd is Leslie Redhead, a fellow zoologist who generously shares all her hard learned tips and hints on her blog hence the title Watercolour Weapons. She has another blog where you can check the fruits of her labours...wonderful artist!!

Penultimate one is Peter Ward. I was surprised that Peter doesn't have the required 200 followers (over which they don't qualify for this award) to this blog as it is full of information. tips, reviews and magaziney (don't know if that's a word) type articles...I enjoy reading what he says and thinks about all things to do with watercolour and am sure you will too!!

Final one is Vandy Massey's blog. She is a frequent blogger despite working full time I think.... blogs about a variety of topics and is an exceptional artist.

Those are my five... do take a look at them, am sure you will be inspired and thanks once again to Elaine for the honour of her award to me!!

  2. Wow that was quick Mike... agree there are so many different blogs out there... quite a minefield really and so much time you can spend reading and digesting them... not exactly time wasted but time spent not painting which is not necessarily a good thing!!

    1. You are so welcome Vandy.... richly deserved, I always enjoy your blog and am amazed at how you fit everything in... I don't work any more (well I do run workshops but can't class that as work) and still don't always find the same time to paint or blog like you do!!!

    1. Thank you Polly.... I think that is the whole idea that our followers are invited to read other new and interesting blogs... just helps spread the word to those blogs which don't have huge followings but maybe deserve a bit more recognition!!
