Love your Smaug Penny , Lord of the Rings is my favorit story through the book , CD and films, I think Peter Jackson made a great job of the films and I understand that he is going to film “The Hobbitt” next….cant wait.

Robin Brown
No formal training & it shows. Why; well if you have to be trained then its not a natural talent & you clearly have a natural talent young lady.
PennyEdwardes
Thankyou Robin! It’s wonderful comments like yours that make it all worth while! Thanks!
Michael Gatch
beautiful artwork. I am almost jealous of you artists who can draw and paint and create such wonderful things.
PennyEdwardes
Aaww shucks! Thanks so much Michael! :)
Colin Cartwright
Absolutely beautiful, Penny.
The fine detailing and powerful coloursm are complemented superbly by that abstract, slightly blurred background.
I’m currently looking at fantasy paintings in Master’s book.
Excellent talent!
p.s. Recently, I used to think like Michael,(last comment) just taking photos, until I picked up a watercolour brush!
PennyEdwardes replied
Thankyou so much Colin! Once you start on your artistic journey….it becomes very addictive! I’m still experimenting with watercolour myself…..and I have found them to be of enormous fun! Thanks for your wonderful comment!
