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 though
We 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 backgrou
it's made an interesting landscape.
@gennepher - you sound gleeful
I 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.
