Location: United States
My name is Netta Pickering.
I was born in Northern Ireland and came to America in 1956. I have been drawing since I was a young child.
I have had no formal training of any kind other than in secondary school. I have painted in oils, acrylics, watercolors and pastels, I am currently working in Soluble Oils, I have done some commissioned work from time to time.
I paint mostly with Soluble Oils. I am hoping to do some oils in the future. I will paint almost any subject if it interests me!
“Nubble Lighthouse, Cape Neddick, Maine”
I painted this from a photo I took in 2006
This is my daughter, a ballroom dancer with her instructor. She has been in many National Competitions.
“Reflections, Canada Geese on Lake”
My daughter lives on a lake in Florida, and I photographed these geese there.
This is a beautiful Alpine Scene, done in watercolor.
I saw this dog sitting the driver's seat looking like he belonged there, and couldn't resist taking his photo! this was on Cape Cod.
“Bronze Statue of Horse and Foal”
I painted this in my husband's hospital room. It is watercolor.
“Hungry Giraffe After some tender leaves”
I took this photo many years ago, the giraffe had his toes over the edge of the pond and only his tongue could reach the leaves!
“Gigi, What a Beautiful Smile You Have”
This was my daughter's dog who ran away during a thunderstorm.
“Littlle Bear, a Cherokee Indian in Full Regalia ”
