Thank you @Muddy CyclistVery Northern Lights and superb especially as you were so exhausted. I realy like the way the image flows very organic.
Fabulously spooky and at the same time sparklingly mysticMy painting for today.
I was very tired when I got back from my successful morning, so had a long nap. Now I am ready for bed. Cat is digging all the way to China in the cat tray, which means I shall need a peg for my nose in a mo...good job I bought some nice new ones today...
This is a quickie, in Procreate, too tired for much else.

Looks OK so far - you can always change the background if you feel that pooch will be lost I guess.I am posting this before I completely ruin it. This is my first attempt at a Classic Italian or Dutch master oil painting of my sons dog for a Christmas Present, A3 on canvas. I'm not sure how it's going to work Black dog, dark background, I must be mad....

Not sure if background should have been painted last but all that white canvas seemed hard to paint the dog on. I have no idea what I'm doing, poor Sooty, that's the dog.
Thank you, I have a vision, but I'm not sure I'm up to it, should have paid more attention in my art classes.Looks OK so far - you can always change the background if you feel that pooch will be lost I guess.
You are lucky there is only one so far @Muddy Cyclist in your Close.GRrrrr! First Christmas Lights appear in our Close, tacky, not even aesthetically pleasing, OK sound humbug but I really dislike strings of flashing lights with no thought to where or how they are arranged and don't get me started on blowup santas.
I do like Christmas but not tat!
@gennepher - you sound gleefulI like your picture today, although there is an element of spooky the sky reminds me of the Northern Lights too. We're far enough North that we get them here sometimes
Art bit -
My version from a work by a painter called Ernie Verdine - I like the way he uses colour.

Great autumn painting from you today, I like the use of the paint and the treatment of the leaves on the trees, good colours also.good evening all
4.4 today
out shopping early closely followed by the ritual of green bin positioning by the road
Bloomin' cold today, 1'C as the sun came up, lovely sunny sky thoughWe saw a really interesting cloud on our way to the shops, looked just like a chubby five pointed star, of course by the time we got to the shops it had changed so no pictures
Hope your day is treating you well
@lindisfel - another great bird picture from you, I like the cheeky cocked head and bright eye
@JohnEGreen - hope things are less painful for you soon and that brother Adrian keeps well and gets the test result he wants
@Muddy Cyclist - one good thing about oil paint is you can tweak the background as you go, you're definitely braver than me tryiing an old master style dog portrait.
Particularly lovely silver birches, so delicate, they're just like the ones down the road from mum's
mr gee is in agreement with you, he quite likes Christmas too but he does not like random 'tat' at all
@dunelm - interesting to see the reversal, I've never tried black paper. The moon is lovely, and the temple stands out nicely on the black backgrouit's made an interesting landscape.

Evening
A little truth telling
Haven't given fbg..haven't bothered testing for a while.
Not sure " unintentional" or not.
Shall start back soon enough
All good personally.
But to talk of that which dare not mention it's name..
My aunt's daughters partner lost his mum recently to covid I've been told (Birmingham way)
And Lauren's cousin..( may remember her husband tested positive months back )
Has now tested positive, as has her husband again
Husband in for knee op..chap in next bed tested positive.
So both now have it.
Last time he breezed through it, this time he is struggling..so my wife's a little concerned for them both.
Consolation is he's prescribed a c-pap machine, has apnea ..so good chance of oxygen when needed.
As said we are ok.
Just hoping those near to us are ok.
Take care all.
Loving the vitality and art works.
That's good to hear. However sorry that your extended family are hit with Covid. Keep safe, I hope things improve for your relative.s said we are ok
Or maybe we are just really lucky that we are quite rural.That's good Krystyna, everyone in your area must be behaving and/or living very insular lives.
That's good that your area is below average.
I know it's abit extreme but have you considered black out blinds or materials like these.You are lucky there is only one so far @Muddy Cyclist in your Close.
There are 13 houses in this Close. 10 have Xmas lights of varying degrees of flashing tackiness, two have static lights but these include electric Xmas trees either side of their doors and static lights wrapped around their bushes.
I am the odd man out. My horrid next door neighbour only had to go one better and have the flashing lights around the entire of his bungalow. Hence I have problems with flashing lights into my kitchen, bathroom,and my bedroom, which are all along the wall between him and me.

Oh dear my grandson has a couple of blow up thingies one a 6 foot goblin I think though they stay at his uni accommodation he uses them for parties and such like the other students who were feeling somewhat low asked him to put them up in the shared lounge he was not to keen on the idea but eventually acquiesced to try and cheer them all up a bit it seems to have worked.GRrrrr!
