good morning all
4.2 today
finally got the oil delivery for the central heating this morning, a relief to mr gee who has been dipping the tank every couple of days. It took three and a half weeks, usually it's only 1 week after ordering. We're just grateful it has arrived, we know how busy and short of staff they are
Over to mum's today and will pick up eggs from the 'egg box' automated shed on the way if they are available. We'll take soup over and pick up her shopping list ready for our expected shopping trip tomorrow.
Lovely sunny looking day here but the breeze is brisk.
Hope your day treats you kindly
@Ryhia I'm amazed you could tell which lighthouse that is
@Muddy Cyclist - I did order some better paper at around that time, it's cold pressed
and a 50% mix of cotton and non lignin cellulose, it took at least 10 days to arrive so there are still some art bits on odd paper/card/stuff
in the catch up postings before I get to it. I have noticed that scanning these is making them slighlty more saturated.
no 1 is done with the Daler Rowney paints on a piece of mounting board offcut about 9 x 4.5 inches, it's from a photo of a historic lighthouse I saw online,

no 2 is my attempt to depict an area nearby looking from a raised level above the sea, it's almost all scrubby bushes and brambles, end result is not quite what I had in mind but I quite like it as an abstractish landscape
painted on the craft card with the Daler Rowney. This is me trying to learn to give things a sense of scale.
