Blimey john you're having a rough ride hope you can get to speak to your diabetes team...oh that bully pose I love it which one is it … just had a visit from 'Plumpy' he cleaned the cat bowls for me then sat until he got his treats the kittens are better with him now...be lovely to see them curl up together though that may be a while off yet...take care of yourself.
Loving all the artwork we have on this thread...pretty unique & I do look forward to the gallery whenever I log in.
I'm really enjoying these.
Very nice, warm days and lots of summer depth. Colours are very evocative of coastal walks I have done over the years, nice painting.good afternoon all
4.4 today
very quiet in the village today. We have fairly new neighbours a couple of houses away who lived outside Paris until recently, they have commemorative bunting up in their window for the anniversary of VE day.
We asked mum (who was in the land army), where she was and what she was doing on VE day, she says she doesn't remember anything in particular but was visiting with Dad's family (her future in-laws), I think the day was spent quietly because the uncle mr gee was later named after had been killed by a sniper whilst crossing a river laying communication lines in Italy and mr gee's Dad was still in Italy with the army.
Off out for our walk shortly, it's pleasantly mild although it's quite dull today
Hope your day is treating you kindly
@gennepher two glorious pastels, you handle colour so well
@Muddy Cyclist - I like the luminous foreground beneath the trees, once again such an evocative scene, I do so enjoy your use of colour too
Today's art catch up - painted with the 'White Nights'

Beautiful commemorative poppies @Muddy CyclistI digressed from my Last Light paintings and did a quick VE Day poster. OK some artistic license for plants available in May.
My Father, Father in Law and two Uncles were all reserved Occupation so saw no combat. Another Uncle was at Funkirk leading a unit, they all returned but he would never talk about it and never wrote the experience down, other than saying they all swam a long way to survive.
So here is my art for today, A4 watercolour about 25 minutes.
Oh, I have also written and illustrated my House Cat Poem for tonight's family competition, can't publish it here as it will certainly upset some cat owners, it does end with a loud brightly illustrated POP!
