[QUOTE="RosieLKH, post: 1088745, member: 108816"] Hi Fran and welcome, You sound like me in many ways. Weight probs, type 2 on Metformin, interest in art & writing, dogs. My previous dog was a collie x springer. I thought mad meets madder was bad enough, but after he died 5 years ago we got a gorgeous, gentle lurcher (greyhound x ridgeback) and then I fostered a very underweight lurcher (whippet x saluki), who went to a family then got returned so I kept her. I never knew what mad was! She's a sofa dog in the house but a whirlwind on any open space. I'm skiving from a watercolour group this morning partly due to having the Metformin runs again - totally unpredictable, can't trace to any pattern of diet, time etc - but also because I don't like the subject matter this morning (copying a Jack Vettriano - I prefer doing my own original stuff, but will copy in order to learn tehnique. It's just copying oil into watercolour annoys me). My favourite watercolour artist is Shirley Trevena. I love her loose style, with elements of abstract and lots of mark making. I dabble with acrylics and texture - recently made my own chunky gesso, but have no formal training in this (other than YouTube!). I also write and have 3 books self-published, with a 4th in the editing process. I sew and do other crafty things now I am semi-retired and have time for me. No kids. Not through choice, but you get what life deals you. Anyway, that's me - a wee bit like you! [/QUOTE]
