Thanks Saskia, that’s a lovely thing to say.
Do you know the rhyme ‘Monday’s child is fair of face’ ? I was Wednesday’s child - apparently ‘full of woe’ so I’ve made a conscious effort ( not always successful) since I first heard it, not to appear woeful! It annoyed me intensely as a child for some reason.

Goodness, that would have annoyed me too! Even as an adult. :)
I am Monday's child but don't exactly fit the profile! :D
 
@gennepher and @Muddy Cyclist I was just on the ocedar.com website and I saw something that I thought might interest y'all. Painting, not with shaving brushes, but with shaving cream.
Apparently you squirt the shaving cream into a cupcake tin and add food coloring and then fingerpaint.

There is a video here (no audio AFAIK, other than music) --

And @PenguinMum @HarryBeau and @jjraak
I also saw this pic which I love -- and I hope that the bucket doesn't contain anything more "chemical" than vinegar and water! ^. .^ :)

Hahaha it could also have said synonyms -see jjraak! Your upbeat and cheerful posts always put a smile on my face.
 
A long day, great 2 1/2 hour Muddy Cycle ride and beat the rain. MIL visit difficult, not much change.wind now abated, atmospheric not internal, sorry @gennepher but glad to hear that's improved for you now.

Here is my daily watercolour, I decided to layout a wave splashing over rocks without wax resist, will use a similar one in my large seascape, this one took about 25 mins in watercolour paint.

It’s odd how that sort of thing matters as a child isn’t it? We were all envious of one girl born on a Sunday - Bonny and blithe and good and gay. She wasn’t really any of those things but somehow that rhyme made her think she was!

I am also a Wednesday's child and fit the bill perfectly, I have to fight really hard to get out of dark places and can actually enjoy being full of woe, thank goodness for Mrs MC who is always upbeat about everything, she keeps be afloat.

What day is she? You two obviously go very well together and compliment eachother perfectly. I must say you never seem woeful on here though. You always seem quite cheerful

Mrs MC is also a Wednesday's child but with non of the traits in the rhyme, quite the opposite thank goodness. The woe side of me gets channeled into my art, music, acting and poetry, the world sees a cheerful, outgoing face, complex!

If your music and acting are as inspired as your painting by your woe it seems you’ve found a really great channel for it. Long may it last.
