Hello Don and Emma from Cairns.

Can you spray the back of the canvas with medium

Emma can you do a close up for me

I like that a lot!!

Jack sparrow appears

I will be there tomorrow.

But i want to come anyway

Really brings the foreground forward and sets the distance perfectly

Wow I have dived into those cloud formations

Evening Emma and Don. Just love this Don. Sunday arvo by the dam.

Looks like the weather every fishing comp weekend 😆

What a treat thank you 🙏

No not correct words. A blackbird beside him

You must paint fisherman every time I leave

Is it a dog or a meerkat

A bright pink prawn 😆

Can't get to class for the next couple 0f classes

Just bloody fabulous

I feel like she should be warning off the endeavour

One things for sure, I wouldn’t mess with her!

oh dear we lost you for a while there Soraya is upset because she was copying your painting!

It is interesting Don., weird but creative

I thought at first it was Anzac related

September Don....and its 4:52 so close enough for wine

Emma it is now a mirror image. Don is suddenly left handed.

I had internet issues watching Wednesday afternoon

Hi Emma and Don

Hi from my son Cooper, ( 9 ) He loves to watch you painting 💕

Sara wants to know why you don't wash your brush between colours

That’s quite subdued compared to the last few drinks night.

A Big hi,i am so out of touch, had covid real bad even though I had all vacs and today was told i may have long covid, so pleased to find you tonight.I reallyy need to get back and paint.

you make it look so easy Don as always,you are so easy to watch.

Loving the softness Don. Will swing by tomorrow, but will be a tad late.

Terri Dunn is knitting you a head warmer it looks cold

Country river bed with a grey old paddle watermill

Make that girly a blonde Donald so that it can be me!!!

Those Indonesian fish that eat your foot callus hehe

Sorry I won’t be there. Will be just out of quarantine and will stay away until next week.

One day Brad some young fella will say that to you. But thinking about it now, you don't know the meaning of the word work.

Hello Don, Emma and all that is watching

It brings in the bait fish

It’s almost Darcy Doyle ish.

Were you a Ryebuck Shearer , Don?

Put a pet dog in it ? ( from cooper )

Hi Don! Need a catch up.

Past my bed time enjoy good night

Beautiful loving the colours

Love watching you work old man.

Cheers! Im enjoying a Merlot while watching

Nice!! My Dad was a wool classed too!

Ive been living the dream

I love it Don, but it seems a different type of lonely with all the sails furled.

Hi Don. I had a couple bring in wine of your paintings to frame today

As a new follower, are you self taught? You are amazing!

If they didn’t have sails the painting would look like everyone out there prawning at the moment.

It's looking better and betterer. Drinks and nibbles on the sandbank at low tide with the cruise group. Heaps of fun.

Hello Don, I'm on the way, in rainy Canberra at the moment. Get that bar sorted out.

Put a smiley face in the bottom right to make mrs Dunn feel better hahaha

Rebecca Hudson… we need to do another paint n sip with Don…

Turquoise colours... My favourite! Oceans of love to you guys 👣💚

Blue skies, nothing but blue skies 🎼🎵🎶

I've had my dinner, I'm okay now

Awesome picture

Worlds biggest easle builder.

Hi Don and Emma. I have some beautiful Don Waters art at my home now. Thank you. Feel so very opulent here!!

The thing I love about your art is that you can look at something and be drawn to something else

Sitting on the deck having drinks with Don

The bottom left almost looks like a hand reaching out for them

Robbo reckons you need someone to do the edges for you!!

Looks quite ghostly but not dark like evil

Or maybe my imagination is running away with me

I’ll send Kerry she is good at giving directions

The Great Wall still doesn’t have canvas on it yet.

Put James Bond at the end of the tunnel

Been there and spoken to him already. It’s all sorted.

Is the Beenleigh class on tomorrow at 9.00am?

Throw a demon in could be an IRON MADIEN album cover lol

Hello. first time watcher. wow watching it come alive very inspiring. 😊

Looks like they are in the fathers hands

Lol I kinda like the darkness of it

Love the colours.

Hi all, sorry I’m late.

Love the orange.

A haunted pirate ship

Happy Easter

Robbo wants to know is it a portal?

Where is the puppy.

Happy Easter

Certainly making a Melbourne night very enjoyable! Thanks guys!❤️💙 Lovey and Mike

Speaking of possums we had to escort one from our garage last night, that could be why I'm seeing possums😁

We met before that my friend, but we brought Lovey into the Fab Four around that time! You had hair then!!!😂

I already know I'm going to love it it looks like the red door series 🙂

Hi, I'll be late tomorrow and Cathy won't be there, poor girl is sick again

G’day Lennox!!! A little bird told me you are doing very well at school!!! Proud of you, mate!!!

I just love watching an expert using my favourite medium

I have picked up some good advice thank you

That does look like one of the Royal Carribean paintings you did years ago

I wish could still go to your classes on Wednesdays 😥

Wow never knew that about the oil paintings Don. Thanks for the information

I'm going to try some of this colour and charcoal

Hi Emma hi Don and yes charcoal is great

You came into our life during the red door series, Don and Mag!!

I can see a big lip with teeth in top right

I used charcoal on canvas last night under acrylic

I just draw and erase and draw and erase

Don have you ever written a book or have dvds

It's going to be good anyway cause it's in charcoal

Check out those pins!!! How could a raw blooded male trade you in?!?!!

You looked awesome in it Lennox!

Love the red door series

We are kids! Here until 19th. Heaps of hugs with the grandies!

It’s a kids tree house/forte that got destroyed by the floods

Yes it's great charity and there is auction on insta, I have donated and lots of other artists paintings will be sold all money going to flood victims via Giveit

Hi Arts Edge crew if y’all drinking and watching!

Like a lightening struck tree but bet it’s gonna be a cool treehouse

Gasoline here. From the quote”I’m just here for the gasoline “

My art teacher used to say interesting

I'm a bit twisted like you Don. I think they came out of the rocket

Omg I've just tuned in, sorry late home, hello Don and Emma

Hmmmmm i can't remember but I had a couple so I may or may not have noticed

It now looks like a ventriloquist with their doll on their shoulder. I guess it’s love if it’s a puppet. A different kind of love. (Ben)

Put a beard on it and we will know who it is

I can see it! Definitely a warrior, exhausted propping themself on the spear. Yet, I see a woman not a male.

Set up a camera facing Don while he paints so we can see his tongue ! Hahahhaha

Hello from Benjamin. Happy birthday Darren!

Great stuff Don very you

Ugle couple so it must be love

The red looks like a back end of a deer

Oh wow that's gorgeous 😍

Yes i started at half 6 in nsw but you dont come on till half 7 nsw time

Do you usually just use straight out of the jar Don or do you mix with mediums when painting

Where did Don’s love of fairy and enchanted kinda stuff first come from? You can see it in his work 🧚‍♀️ 🚪

where is the best spot to send homework whilst Wed group in shut down?

Don i would be interested in a education tv lesson on gesture drawing

Loving this relaxed approach on a Tuesday night. Helps me take away my fear of getting started on the first strokes on a new canvas

Hello, I finally made it here

You pay out on Don like my daughter does to me lol🤣🤣

Hard to hear Don even with my computer volume is up full.

I love your demo. No covid here. I am sorry about Mary. I was thinking you were a bit lost

Oh Don I’m so sorry she was always so funny with her comments . She will be missed . Take care Don xx

I love the dark background

Mankini...I can't get the image out of my head.

Needs a waterfall falling from the moon.

It looks like a chameleon from the tunnel

Actually I'd love you all to visit me too

OMG you read my mind Emma, and yes they do

Thanks so much, this was wonderful!

God marg didn’t leave the studio alone with Christmas decor

Hey Don, what’s your backboard made out of? I’ve only just started stapling canvas to cardboard

When you first turned that around i saw 2 eyes and the nose under the line but it vanished really quickly.

Merry Christmas to you and your family Don. Here’s hoping 2022 is a great year for you ❤️❤️
