good afternoon all
4.5 yesterday and 4.5 today
volunteering for a couple of hours yesterday then spent the evening cooking the multiple packs of minced steak we bought on Wednesday ready for the freezer
Been out in the garden with the weedkiller this afternoon whilst it's warm and dry
I thought it was a bit of a job getting a dog to take tablets, I now see that a cat wins hands down
@lindisfel - internet hugs of support to you and to mrs L, hope the medics can move forward for you.
@gennepher - I love the dock/river plein air, those pylons make a pleasing visual pattern, the suspension bridge is a very strong graphic image and your swan has a haughty air, quite cross and regal
@JohnEGreen - I find your abstract pic pleasing, very good first go
@dunelm - I like your lilypad and frog, very fluid technique
and I'm amazed by the foliage rendition on the branch and, once again, you have produced a strong and pleasing composition.
Interesting idea, cutting down a brush, and your 'live' picture shows your strong stroke work well
@Alien Aspie - great rendition of Jodrell Bank, particularly the dishes which are very well placed and solid in their landscape, I've only ever seen it from a distance and always wanted to go visit there
That's a fun pic today and a nice tribute to A(u)nts
@Muddy Cyclist - kudos for branching out into other media, both wax sketches are interesting but I especially like the landscape. I used to have a brass rubbing of a knight I did when I was a student but that's the nearest I've got to using wax, although a neighbours' daughter makes encaustic 'paintings' using wax and an iron.
Art bits -
art working not back to daily level but I'm trying to do some regularly.
two days worth coming up
no 1 - another shot at a 'zen' painting, trying out strokes with one of my new brushes,

no 2 - as I promised (or threatened
), more waves
as far as I remember this was based on a photo seen online.
