good evening all
thank you for your kind thoughts for mr gee and I
a couple of repeat blood tests at the local health centre for mr gee yesterday, and he's got to go and see his own doctor next week.
shopping day today so that took most of the day by the time we'd bought things, sorted them, wiped them down and then delivered mum's share of the haul to her.
Also it was smelly green bin day (general rubbish)
Hope your day is treating you well
@dunelm - like your reflection artwork today, very effective
@Muddy Cyclist - two pleasing and promising watercolour sketches and the lino cut is an interesting new technique, I haven't tried one of those since I was at schoolproper printers ink may give a more predictable result.
I'm also glad your abscess has burst and given you some relief even if it's only temporary, it may give the antibiotics time to kick in to fight it properly
Art bit -
no 1 - a quick sketch using the inktense pencils, I changed the outline to look more hand drawn, it looked too neat to start withI may use it as my avatar, what do you think?

no 2 - watercolour, just slightly larger than A5

That's another very fine watercolur painting, again I'm impressed with the light on the hills and on the water especially at the horizon. Your tree would make a good avatar.good evening all

Plein Air and iPad, brilliant and a well drawn industrial seascape. I'm always fascinated with where nature meets mans interference there are lots of interesting possibilities for art, although they seldom make a pretty painting. Look forward to more.Fbg for this morning was 6.8
I went down to the docks and the river.
My plein air this morning on my iPad in ZenBrush2
Sitting on a bench watching the water rushing up the river with flotsam and jetsam.
The tide was coming in...
It was all lines. There were more pylons than this. And of all things was a catamaran on the other side of the river bank at a crazy angle. Was it beached? I don't know but it had two red lights on the side by the river. I drew the line at drawing the catamaran...
The bridge is to the right off picture. I call it the string bridge because it has more lines on it than any sane person would want to draw. My daughter thinks it is a tremendous piece of engineering. She would, she's an engineer..
Another day I may draw that bridge when I have figured it out.
When I got back home at midday I fell asleep a few hours...all that river/sea air.
Anyway, here is my painting for today...

My fbg this morning was 4.4
@geefull hope your hubby feel better soon.
I really must take my hat off to all the fine artists that post such wonderful works of art here. I find it so uplifting but it does bring out a faint whiff of jealousy in me.
I even went as far as downloading procreate pocket to my I phone but it did not take me to long to realize I don't posses the artistic bent required just ended up with a formless monochromatic scribble to be honest.

My apologies for this
But I may persist who knows what might happen.
@gennepher thank you for your kind words and encouragement, I will persist with it and hopefully improve.
That 's exactly why we changed to the mortice lock - much less stressful.My worse was continually forgetting the keys...I no longer use a Yale lock it has to be the mortice lock now...I often forgot to close the kitchen before bed now I have a checklist I have to go through.
Please do persist. A brilliant first attempt.My fbg this morning was 4.4

Good morning everyone from a gleam of yellow and a pale hue of blue in the dark and dangerous north
@gennepher - out and about with IPad - great industrial scene - reminds me of the A55 going past Ellesmere Port and Queensferry on our way to the mountains.
Phew! I hope everyone has a very good day, I now need some koffy.
