233 - THATCHED COTTAGES AT SHANKLIN, I.O.W. - DAVE EDWARDS - COLOURED PENCILS - 2008

I especially love this work…

I sense a Vincint VanGogh here. This is gorgeous.

I want to live there,Dave,but the house MUST have a bendy chimney!!

This is a master piece of art, wonderful subject, lovely atmosphere, great colors. xoxoxxo

The Isle of Wight has always seemed like it must be a magic place;
now I know it is.

hhha!! you beauty ..you mean that’s completely your style..

well I’m impressed
good on you and well done..it’s lovely!!

ooooohhhhh…this is fascinating! almost feel as though im there…..just gorgeous

Wonderful detailed work Dave, just lovely …

lovely, has a very 1950’s feel to it!!

I love your bendy buildings and they’re not so far off being real on some of these olde ones are they? Great stuff !:)

I’m trying to find words to describe how I find this new work Dave, but it’s a combination of quaint and delightful. Considering how quickly you painted/drew this one, it is a great success with lots of form and detail in the shapes. colours and textures. Your ‘bendiness’ is still there but a bit more restrained and so adds a lot to the overall effect. The atmospheric perspective in the softening of the trees give depth, together with those all to useful shadows.

No dave..I didn’t doubt you- sorry if you took it that way .. and I’m sorry if I
sounded as if I was having a go at you ..I wasn’t.. ..true!!

It was just a bit of a sarcastic joke..after what we’d just been talking about.. ....
those conversations we had about the famous artists works and tributes etc..
and how I was aying that I’d love to see you do your own work..
I guess should have put it differently..OK..but I was pulling your leg ..so to speak ..to see what you would say..
you know I was rapt that you’d done your own drawing and not had to turn to anyone famous for inspiration ..I even told you that in the mail I sent to you ..
gosh ..give a girl a break.. hhha!!!!

as for the other part ..I’m sorry I’ll have to disagree with you ..
as I’ve never heard of nor even looked at any of the artists works that you told me -
were a bit like my own original paintings
so I doubt that they could subconsciously show up in my work
I would have had to have seen those artists or paintings
somewhere first …and that’s impossible… I am somewhat of an isolated and recluse painter
and seeing I never look at art books or go to art galleries then It would be pretty amazing if I could pick up their work subconsciously ..don’t you think ..

you might not regard your work as original but I regard mine as original
and I still think it’s an excuse when people say .. “nothing in this world isoriginal. ”.
I don’t beleive that for a minute….not a second
as I said before that Originality comes from an artists Interpretation of their own expereinces and feelings in life and about life here on earth..everyone’s interpretations are very different..
therefore seeing I don;t copy anyones art work ..my Interpretations of my expereinces.are original.

thanks again ..and I do like your drawing..like I said before..

thanks dave..talk again soon..

sorry ..make that how I was saying ..not “aying” ...LOL

wish we could go back and edit in here

Lovely painting Dave and i really do like the style you painted it in

HI..so why does me saying “you beauty”..prove how observant I am..??

thanks dave .. I would like to know this one

beautiful work

Ok.. Oh ..I see ..!!! well that’s all good ..I thought you were being sarcastic
for a moment..

.hhha!!

I do like you ..and I know you like me.
we are just highly sensitive types..
a slight comment or remark that we don’t fully
understand from each other seems to set us off
...hhha!!

lets be good and try to communicate from now on
with out having to think a day on what the other person just said..OK hheee!!!

I’ll do it if you will…
lets be friends..we are so much alike (too sensitive for our own good) that we
could be very good friends..hha!!

xxxooo

I hadn’t realised you were sensitive; you come across as being confident and not caring what others think about you. Maybe we sensitive people travel in disguise so people won’t know we are sensitive. I’ll try to bear it in mind if you still wish to chat.

Dave this is really a lovely sketch and i was going to say the best of them all but they are all quality!!!

Is that where they have that crazy motorbike race?
I like the swayed back of the central building :)

What a delightful painting..looks almost quirky and those warm colours glow. This painting makes me smile and want to ‘walk down this street!’

“I sense a Vincint VanGogh here. This is gorgeous”

that is exactly what i felt when i saw this, it is so damn good mate, the colours had me :)

I love this style of you Dave. beautiful and friendly.

I love the movement and color as well, beautiful

A beautiful drawing!

A beautiful piece of art

This style of yours just makes me want to live in these images. They have such a wonderful fantasy quality.

SUPER WORK…NICELY DRAWN…

Beautiful original work of art, well done Hun…xxxxxx

Though this is quite different from your earlier work, it has much character. I like the distortion in perspective and the atmosphere created with your choice of color.

How utterly charming, would love to wander down that road!

So precious is this scene and wonderfully created. Awesome work Dave. I will certainly be buying a large print of this when The Lord enables me financially. Outstanding!.

Donate some of your art and save a child’s life!

I invite all to please visit my Mission Africa Charity website:

Another Van Gogh-like curvy!! I love it:) Van Gogh-like, but totally your style:)

Beautiful. Love the colors.

Hi from Trisha,
Have you ever had the urge to cut your ear off?
I only ask because this painting reminds me of Van Gogh’s use of color and line.
It is one of my favorites, and as soon as my money situation improves I am going to start purchasing some of your cards.

Thanks for sharing you work!

you made me feel how peaceful this place is, i wish to be there for a month,
great painting

Great pencil work! Looks like a good location for vacation, a get-a-way. I favor quiet and peaceful places such as portrayed by this composition.

Great style and such a warm feel – a lovely painting:)

Obviously, your work is terrific. I had to scroll a long way down to leave my message. I love your way of painting with all the textures and the colors. I was just telling my husband that I always seem to be attracted to gouache’s and colored pencils and pastels. Your work is very inspiring. Thank you…I’ll keep watching you!

Beautiful..Excellent work ..Dave :-)

Wow, I love your village. So beautiful! :D

Wow Dave…This is classic. Truly amazing work.
I revisited your writing on “Encouragement”. It really encourages me. Haven’t been doing any pieces lately…distracted and demotivated but getting back some juice..I hope.

love you landscapes

excellent

Great composition. Lovely colors. Striking piece.

Congratulations on the feature! You work as usual is colorful, fun and lovely.

WOW they talk about Consable now he’s gone & the others, but i’m telling you now your still around, This is just brilliant, instant favorite.

Malcolm
