A beautiful dawn full of a gorgeous day promise, but alas, we now have rain and grey cloud.
So, here is my painting in ZenBrush2 app for today. Done on my iPhone screen. I used one of the coloured papers in the app. It is an abstract painting. I had done a better one, well one I liked more, but when I pressed the list icon to save, I didn’t see that it was actually the rubbish bin turned sideways which apparently happens when I rotate the iPhone.
So, you get my second attempt...

Today I have promised myself to paint 100 butterflies in this app (and each one will be deleted the moment I have finished it), and tomorrow I will do one more butterfly painting.
Good morning all. 4.6 on waking rising to 5.4 after ablutions, weighing, dressing, feeding pups and making tea. OK but nothing special. Lots of angst around due to a journo questioning if a banana really does impact bg levels like a pile of sugar cubes. Reading the article it seems to me it is saying high carbs may not be good but it doesn't follow that none at all is healthy for all. More fat than has become the norm may not be as bad as thought but bacon and lard with double cream 4 times a day is not the answer either. Veggies, salad*, fibre and above all nutrition are mentioned. Nutrition not macros as important seems perfectly fine to me. Denigrating that article is very much the wrong hill to die on. Have a great day.
*tomatoes, cucumber and avocado are fruit so 3 of your 5 a day
Thank you - I didn’t know where it was going. I think another of the four gentlemen - orchids perhaps - Chrysanthemums and plum blossom seem a bit too far at presentThank you.
Brilliant bamboo @dunelm
It looks like my bamboo forest at the end of my garden which needs a haircut and a thinning...
You have a good day.
Thank you. Going to switch to orchid practice - well that’s the thought at present but then I have been cleaning the oven and probably high as a kite.I do really like this art work.
Waiting for a decision on mandatory mask wearing for oven cleaning in the Dark and Dangerous North? (Are you devolved yet? - hard to keep up)Thank you. Going to switch to orchid practice - well that’s the thought at present but then I have been cleaning the oven and probably high as a kite.
You are so.lucky. What a wonderful view.
I just copy then press my finger onto the ipad screen and select paste. I do have to reduce the image size first though, using an app called “image size”.Hi guys,
Please, do you guys use a hosting site to post your pictures? I can't seem to do it directly?

Mask wearing is only by appointment and we don’t do those sort of fancy southern things. Not devolved yet but we have all joined forces (Cumberland, North Yorkshire and Northumberland) to build a giant mobile saw in case that crazed Jimmy Cranky in Sturgeonborough get’s her way.Waiting for a decision on mandatory mask wearing for oven cleaning in the Dark and Dangerous North?

Had to get up in the night. That has become unusual so must be doing something right.
MrSlim says "Not long now" whatever that means.

Good Watercolur of this lovely bird. We have many along the River Trent and the Canal, seldom go a bike ride without seeing that flash of iridescent light skimming the water.Heres one I painted in watercolour, a few years ago.
