Thank you he really has got the pug look it’s now hanging in our Conservatory others he’s done are on our fireplace and other wall in living room also in hall and in bedroom no more walls to fit them on, they are all pegged up on coat hangers in bedroom. Our granddaughter want a beautiful painting of the head of a beautiful woman with loose chiffon scarf draped on her head and shoulders. I’ve told him to advertise then locally if he gets back what it’s cost him to paint and purchase frames it’s better than leaving them unseen. K

It’s an issue when you start painting, he ought to have an exhibition in a church hall or similar.

Hi dunelm he’s also a talented artist in his own right it’s only since he took his retirement that he has got into it in a big way. But he’s not the sort to put his paintings out there. If I get some time I will upload some more of his paintings they are beautiful but mostly his advanced paintings by numbers he just loves the choices you have his art room is in the conservatory so I don’t get much communication from him hence I’m on here or chatting with family and my brother who lives in Germany.

In bed now. Dry clothes on. Electric blanket on. Towel round hair. Cuppa hot tea.

There were definitely more than 200 bulbs...

It rained and hailed all day, and now I am back in bed, the sun has come out and the sky has brightened...

Good night all. And I tentatively checked my safe parcel place. I hesitantly lifted the lid. Phew...no more bulb parcels...

I am going on internet blackout until tomorrow morning, and that also includes chat apps and emails...

Hi dunelm I’ve reduced the painting but it’s wrong way round not sure how I can rectify it. K
I’ve never done any of this before it’s like being back at school learning new things all over again. Thanks for the link. K

I am not sure if you understand this is a print of this painting sent has a painting by numbers for adults,my husband has to paint the drawing with instructions and paints supplied with the paintings. He hasn’t drawn it himself but he’s painted every part of it. Hope I’ve explained it it’s a unpainted painting and you paint it comes with paint you follow instructions that comes with it

Oh, OK. So with uploading, this is what I do on my iPad -
Take photo or put image in my photo library. I then edit to make sure it is cropped and also the right way round.
Then, open Image Size and choose the image from within my photo library (top left) and then press ‘choose’ - I can then pinch the image to get it the way I want it and then press the download arrow (bottom left) and choose jpg. It then downloads to my photo library and I can then re-edit from there if needed. Hope this makes sense.
 
I can do things first time then I can’t repeat what I did. It’s an age thing my grand children usually help me out. Did you understand what I was saying about the adult advanced painting by numbers. They come in a boxed set with everything you need to paint the painting yourself. You can find them on the internet from lots of places Amazon is one place.K
