    My dad meant the world to me. This was one of his favourite places. I spent hours trying to get this right. 
    It is a splendid painting @Rin1472 .... Is it Tintagel Castle, Cornwall? (just a guess!)

    @Rin1472 Lovely does it remind you of him when you look at your picture. 
    Yes. He had a photo of this place on his front room wall. It was there from when I was tiny, and was always there when I visited him. :smile:

    I’m impressed. It is Cornwall. It’s Botallack in Cornwall.

    :):smile: I was almost right! It's very atmospheric and I like the way you've painted the sea.

    I really like the contrast here. Can I offer an inspirational idea. Could you draw a mechanic butterfly? So one side mechanical and the other completely natural? I don’t have the skills to do something like that. This was my last effort. Ha

    @Teddybear12 thank you so much. I think we spoke last year when I first joined or added some art. Since then been building up a lot of art work. It’s my aim to put together an event around disabled artists. Something created for us by us. Just slowly speaking with people and also looking into funding. (a little interest 🤞🏾 ) what have you been up too

    @Rin1472 i commented on one of your pieces with the bird in the sky. Love it. 

    I can’t paint at all so amazing work. I like the way you’ve used colour blending, clashing them together 👏🏾👏🏾

    In regards to your idea.  I’m not sure I could do it but could definitely give it ago. Lol just working on an eye thanks been magnified. 

    What I like about scope art, is we are all learning and it’s great to get the feedback and ideas. Lovely to meet you

    That sounds a brilliant idea and would high light creating art work for us by us. Please let me know how you get on.
    I go bowling once a week meet up with friends for a pub lunch once a week and look after my little dog who is twelve next week. I am also having various tests at the moment as things not as good health wise as they were. But still keep smiling I say. Take care.

    Heya @Rin1472 so I’ve been having a play around with the mechanical butterfly suggestion, unsuccessfully 🤣🤣🤣, really like the idea. In the meantime I’ve been finishing off a piece, (magnifying an eye). This then lead me to draw an abstract piece. Which has given me a better idea of creating the butterfly drawing 

    thank you for connecting with me cheers 

    This is the one that has given me some ideas

    Magnifying eye

    Wow. The magnifying eye one actually looks like it’s staring at me. Eyes and faces are the things I’m worst at drawing. Yours are amazing.

    Wow and wow. This is incredible. I love your explanation too. I just wouldn’t know where to begin. The detail of the grass! The headstone with the little butterfly perched on the side. Just beautiful my dear.

    I was visiting my dads memorial recently, and the graveyard has a really atmospheric Victorian section that’s overgrown and falling down. A butterfly landed on one of the stones, so I painted that. It felt like a really interesting contrast between life and death.
