Nothing from mine and they are 'A centre of excellence' their words not mine.

I was however impressed with my visit the other day with my ear.

What I do get after a visit is Rate Us Texts which do annoy me.

support does seem very haphazard, at best.

Or do they? Are you really there? Keats says “I am certain of nothing but of the holiness of the Heart's affections and the truth of Imagination– What the imagination seizes as Beauty must be truth” For the artists on here?

Spoiler alert. I'm pretty sure it means I like avocados and Julie doesn't/ conscious experiences are all a big Rosach ink blot - how was it for you?

Ah, "Beauty is truth, truth is beauty" the great romantics. This was a phrase favoured by my art master, barely a day went by without him quoting it.

Really hope he didn't have a pot of basil on his desk or call people Lorenzo.
 

Thanks for your kind thoughts, yep most relish a level of 5, but with my medications it spells trouble.

Agree and disagree all part of life's rich pattern, long may it continue.

Some on here are having a tough time @dunelm this weekend family rememberances having to be cancelled, to name but one. We motorcyclists must stick together.

Clouds are very dramatic at the moment.
My pastel painting is clouds again.
About an hour it took.

It was a bit cold outside doing it this morning.

 
Good afternoon all. My fbs this morning was 8.0. It doesn't go much lower than that whatever I do. We have several birthdays this month. Fortunately, I had already purchased the gifts and cards before the lock down. I will be wrapping and writing them this weekend but the birthdays are all over two weeks away. I can ring ahead then leave them on people's doorsteps to ensure safe distancing. The longest distance would be 7 miles and they could all be done in one journey but I'm unsure if it will be classed as essential travel? So far I haven't been further than my garden so it would be quite an outing for me! Enjoy your weekend everyone and stay safe,well and as happy as you can.
 
And here is today's effort, still the Mill Race path along Tising Brook, this is where it plunges down a sandstone cliff. A4 watercolour just under 2 hours.

 
good evening all

was 4.1 this morning

after a dull start it's been a lovely sunny afternoon here and so we spent our exercise time in the garden

had an interesting conversation at a distance with our neighbour about making masks, she is making the oblong pleated type but is putting an opened out paperclip in the top edge to allow for shaping over the nose I've made the shaped kind so far but might try making one of those pleated ones out of interest.

Hope your day is treating you well

@gennepher - another lovely cloudscape today, I tried doing a cloudy sunset the other day and it was abominable but I can only get better and the practice won't do me any harm

@Muddy Cyclist - we have a few buildings around our area built of red sandstone from a now abandoned small quarry, it's a lovely warm colour which your picture reminds me of.
I particularly like the way you've achieved the water flowing over the fall in this picture

Today's art catch up -
this is the nearest thing to 'plein air' I've done so far, it's a small group of pine trees next to a house nearby painted in the 'White Nights'

Thank you very much for the compliment. @geefull

Yes you will get better with clouds. Sunsets and clouds are not easy.

That is a beautiful sketch of the pine trees by the house. You can see it being next door...
