Liz Pearson, a South African artist who paints wonderfully expressive portraits of people and animals, passed this award on to me a few days ago. I love the way Liz conveys her subjects’ personalities, and I’m so pleased that she’s included me in her list of people with a Passion for Painting. Then I was surprised to open my blog this morning and discover the award has also been passed on to me by Carol Horzempa, an American artist whose blog posts I have been enjoying very much. I think she can ‘tell a story’ better than anyone.Now, it’s my pleasure to:
· List seven things that I love: Let’s say all the usual suspects – family, friends, spring flowers, wild birds and animals, most dogs (including Portuguese Water Dogs, of whom I had never heard until recently), selected cats and, of course, chocolate – are givens… and just list my seven favourite mountains: Castle and Bident (Canada), Haleakala (USA), Osorno (Chile) Kenya (Kenya), Rakaposhi (Pakistan) and Lomnický štít (Slovakia). Should admit that only two of these are on my website Paint Every Mountain so far.
· Put a link to the artists who tagged me for this honour
· Pass the honour on to seven artists I feel should receive the recognition, and let them know they received this award:
