Another long day, funeral and then more work at MILS bungalow and late home. So not much painting but decided to start another splodge and splatter watercolour, Misty Sherbrook Valley at the stepping stones painting. I have never painted this scene satisfactorily not sure if this method will achieve a better result, Tuesday will see it finished....about 15 minutes so far, A4 watercolour.

Just received a parcel from France - my mother must be having a clear out.
The fancy stone thing is her own art seal and the carved bamboo pot is certainly older than I am.
Just like having a birthday and Christmas all at once.

Thank you @geefull -lots of things to play with today. I love the elevated aspect of your Rob Piercy inspired picture. So light and delicate.good evening all
4.9 today
I wonder if that's the stewed fruit, my residual sniffle or plain old dp
it's a miserable weather day outside now, it started off bright and sunny then the cold fog roooolled in and is still hereSpent part of the day sorting out a storage box from the cupboard at the top of the stairs.
Hope your day is treating you well
@dunelm - yay for a welcome visitor!
I like the clouds drifting across your sun and what a fantastic parcel to receive, even a brush rackI got a couple of cheap brushes of that type to try but they're not very good and I don't have any ink. I'll treat myself one of these days
@Muddy Cyclist - though they were earned in a good cause I hope the aches subside quickly
@SilverK - hope the pain relief works and sleep is forthcoming

A hug for the funeral, I hope it went well. A promising start with the splodge and splatter and hope that the stepping stones emerge victorious from the mist.Another long day, funeral and then more work at MILS bungalow and late home.

Thank you. Funeral was a very uplifting goodbye to my 99 year old Aunty, she had requested no black which usually always causes confusion but this time it worked and was very colourful, my very bright tropical flower mask even had a "that's a bit radical" greeting from my cousin so I must have got it right.A hug for the funeral, I hope it went well.

Nice pot - I really don’t know what would work to feed one but I have some teak oil and also some Danish oil but it seems that bamboo furniture is maintained with a monthly wipe of linseed so maybe try that - I think it may take 24 hours or so to soak in.Here is my bamboo brush pot, that J gave me, that his father a Sea Captain got (around 1920's) when he went to China. Of course he got one with a Chinese Sailing Junk!
Your bamboo pot looks in better condition than mine. Mine has cracks in it, but this is how J gave it to me in 1990's. Any advice how to polish/feed the bamboo wood? I image being kept in a conventional Western centrally heated house doesn't help much @dunelm
