quite late on the go this evening
I'm having flashbacks to the black and white TV we had when I was a child, fireball tuner anyone
Hope your day is treating you as kindly as you could wish
@dunelm - fine foliage and a fine and handsome crow, you manage to give your birds so much personality
@gennepher - I didn't know whether to give a 'hug' for you and for Popeye or a 'winner' for still producing such an evocative and impressive piece of artI'm so glad Popeye is ok and please take good care of your damaged finger.
@ianpspurs - a good day indeed, congratulations on your good result
@True Blue - keeping my fingers crossed for good outcomes.
@Muddy Cyclist - A lovely start to the next painting with those distant spires and that majestic tree
art bit - fairly monochrome

Thank you @gennepher. I like how your raised man turned out. To me, it looks like he is on top of a mountain, looking over the clouds towards a setting sun.
Lovely - buckets and spades and rock pools - always a great hit with children and does invoke good memories
I am so sorry @RFSMarch that you find yourself being visited so determinedly by my old friend Black Dog - I suppose that I am used to it’s visits over the years. I don’t know you but I wish you well and hope that you can climb out of this. My one comment would be - GET HELP - you are ill and need help - start hear -https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/stress-anxiety-depression/mental-health-helplines/.
Thank you for art and music appreciation.good evening all

Nice subject, good start pleased for you that the Golf is now good to go - one you are allowed somewhere to go toGolf repaired
Muddy Cycle ride today saw me venture to the South of Cannock Chase an area of clay rather than bunter pebble beds. This is the view of the Three Sisters of Lichfield Cathedral form Beaudesert. It's the only Cathedral in the UK with three spires. The scene feels medieval I can imagine the pilgrims getting this first glimpse of the spires and the welcome in one of the many inns.
So A4 watercolour and I will finish it Friday as I have to get on with dinner.

A Beach a Beach my Kingdom for a Beach, a bit dramatic I know but that art is as you say very reminiscent of so many Beach outings in the U.K. A lovely character so well drawn and the reflections in thewet sand, just superb.
B&W TV’s used to be all the rage - like flares and winkle pickers but you can probably watch TV in B&W nowadays on your phone. Smashing monochrome view - can we swim in the sea if we take a picture of ourselves with our Kodak brownie?good evening all

Why I was so pleased Golf back on road is I don't have to take Mrs MC in Wilfrid Campervan to sort her horse out every morning, Mrs MC won't drive Campervan, so I'm a free man again.
That was a good move. I did the same with my first aid box - especially with plasters for the occasional finger slicing incidents. Is the feral cat still around?
Ah! I like a bit of subtrefugeWhy I was so pleased Golf back on road is I don't have to take Mrs MC in Wilfrid Campervan to sort her horse out every morning, Mrs MC won't drive Campervan, so I'm a free man again.
However it would be nice to have somewhere to go.
There is a tin chapel in High Newton by the Sea that is very spiritual to sit in. It is always open, and often has good birds near it in autumn.I wasn't talking about the three spires being the spiritual part of the painting @Muddy Cyclist
I was talking about the sky, the old oak tree, the landscape.
I am not into magnificent buildings. A cathedral is nature, the trees arching over, the landscape, that is spiritual, not bricks/stones and mortar.
I do like very ancient small churches and holy wells however.
But in your painting I was referring to the sky as the main part of spiritually in your painting
That is lovely that Popeye checks that you are ok.
