A little about Shirley Charlton ...
Shirley
Roma Charlton was born in Malawi Central Africa and is now based in
Brisbane, Australia. She is an international professional fine artist
and her work has sold all over the world. With many art Exhibitions behind her and having judged many art shows, she loves teaching art. Her
inspirational watercolours and soft pastels show a love for seascapes
while her figure painting show vibrant rich colours with bold strokes.
Proceeds
from her work goes back to Malawi to help a village called Manyowe
outside Blantyre. She also teaches art for the unemployed and homeless.
So this is my page using a wonderful photo of my fabulous SIL & my little grand daughter...
Now my background prep is using water colour paper along with a lovely big bursts of water from a spray bottle & Ken Olivers Color Burst puff on glorious powder...oh I am so in love with this stuff! It makes such fab patterns & colours...
I tried to emulate the colours of Shirley's painting..
and just had fun with this one
Thank you for the great inspiration...it was great!
