But just look at what you can produce on a round shape. He found some wonderful subjects and adapted them to the shape.
The parallel suggestion was glass.
Starting off with an allamanda in a blue base from Fiona done in pastel pencils.
John's cat? Wishful thinking.
Watercolour, we guess.
Marcelle's marvellous tomatoes. Drawn and painted. So low key but excellent.
This reminds one of stained glass windows with its wonderful vivid colours.
Watercolour by Marie Rowe.
Maugie also thought of gold fish and cleverly combined the glass fish 'pond' with a round background.
This is a lesson for us all from Maugie.
She was walking and found this old paint lid - a good circle in which to start a painting. And so she did! A young girl looks wishfully out on a world under a starry sky. No doubt longing for the end of lockdown!
Nicky also decided to combine round with glass and placed her red wine glass on a white plate. Clever idea and a nice trompe l'oeil.
I'm not too sure what kind of a fish this is but John got it to pose in a circular form!
What medium John?
Portuguese Man of War from John. There must be lots of jellyfish with round shapes. Have a look when you can next walk the beach.
Pretty flower idea from John.
This could be converted to placemats for the dining room table.
Is this a cabbage, John?
Do remember to look a veg as well as flowers when searching out interesting shapes.
Another of John's: a wonderful sunset.
Another watercolour by John. Tulips in a square glass pot - reminds me of old ink pots. Great colour combination.
Look how glass 'deforms' what we see through glass. Another work by John.
Two delightful carp lending themselves perfectly to the round shape.
Good colour combination.
Flowers in the round, by Fiona. Another potential plate mat if it wasn't for the square mount!
And lastly a glass jug and lemon by John.
If you are wondering what the next theme is...stay in touch. It will be revealed in a couple of days.
Meanwhile, keep soaping, keep your distance and keep painting.
