My daily painting for today.
Exploring the theme of clowns a little further.
It took me three and a half hours to get this far, partly because I am playing with the digital painting app, and partly because it is not easy doing a clown's white face. But I am stopping now. So, this is it.

Edit: I just use my first finger to draw and paint this, and I use the tools on the screen for width of 'brush', and rest of stuff...

So today's very quick watercolour sketch, inspired by this evenings 1 hour exercise with dog and Mrs MC. WAtercolour, wax crayon resist, very quick 8 minutes. Music calls so could not spend longer today...

Brilliant. Well worth the time spent, you need a digital gallery.

good evening all

was 4.4 today

thank you @Muddy Cyclist for the kind comment and for all the encouragement to post artwork and I loved the 'sisters' video @ianpspurs

don't know whether someone has already posted this in for 'sisters', I had a friend at school who listened to this artist often during lunch breaks

today's catch up art post - this is the first watercolour of flowers I did, cheap watercolour paint box I bought from ebay and biro, on craft card from homebargains. Don't think I've quite got the hang of resizing these images though

hope your day is treating you well

Beautiful @geefull

It works very well. A wonderful painting of flowers. Very delicate.

Cheers all for the sisters links.. Much enjoyed

For me.. not the best example, prefer the first film... But it just seemed the most appropriate right now.
Young, old, us all coming together in a large group..

Love that song, although I am more familiar with Dion's rendition - seriously sends shivers down my spine - Thank you.

Very impressed with your artwork too. We are really spoiled on this thread so much talent.

Thank you @gennepher and @Muddy Cyclist for the amazing art and though I will continue to look in and appreciate it I feel the heart has gone out of our friendly thread so for the time being will just be posting my FBG on another thread. Best wishes to All.

You are absolutely right - you cannot compare car crash deaths with deaths from this virus. My sister was killed by a drunk driver and my mother seriously injured. Her death didn't cause anyone who tried to save them to become a cat crash victim. Not the police, fire fighters,.paramedics, doctors nor nurses. So there is absolutely no comparison with this virus.

Thank you so much @Krystyna23040 for the considered reply.

what an awful event for you and your family..so sorry for the loss.

I hope my sloppy use as an example didn't bring you more sadness.

But as you point out, the fact of how dangerous this can be to those attending, IS the entire point about the saving the NHS.

those 3 little words, are the systems, hospitals and beds for sure

but it's greatest asset has ALWAYS been the staff.

and we seem to be badly letting them done, Right now.

Not all heroes wear capes....


Some don't even wear masks......

Gave a hug for your post PM, I think we are all a bit on edge at the moment and it reflects on the thread, I wish I could say something to change your mind, except you'll be missed.

Hi @PenguinMum
You will be missed.
Please look in as often as you feel able to.
These are traumatic troubled times.
I hope you will return.
Hugs for you x

There is no need to apologise as I don't think it was sloppy use of an example. You were making a very valid point which I totally agree with.

I do think that some people are still not taking it seriously. I was admonished today for being too obsessive by a fellow dog walker because I used some kitchen towel to open the poo bin so I didn't touch the handle.

This was the same dog walker who let their dog run around the park when it had a gastric virus infecting other dogs - including our old Labrador Archie.
