I do like this @gennepher, very atmospheric. Can almost feel the chill wind blowing. BrrrrFbg 6.9
Digital painting for today in Procreate. I knew yesterday I was going to do snow this morning. It is icing sugar dusting kind of snow here. Quite pretty to watch from indoors!
I gave myself 15 minutes, to do this quick painting, because I have stuff to sort out. Been up since 3 am organising some postcards. Just going to have a quick nap in bed to warm up, then start the postcards again.
It took me 17 minutes to complete. Just using my finger, I don't use a stylus, too much hard work. So, finger painting without the mess!!!!
Take care.

Thank you, Moet seems less troubled back on You Move and Paracetamol. Took him off You Move as he seemed to be getting upset stomachs. We will see how he goes, still wants his walks so doing more shorter ones.It is horrible when our animals are in pain. Hopefully the paracetamol will help.
Can't say I saw any notable difference in my readings.Anyone else see this (Vaccines and blood sugar levels) happening to their bg levels or able to provide a link to something on this forum?
Thank you very much @SlimLizzy for the compliment.I do like this @gennepher, very atmospheric. Can almost feel the chill wind blowing. Brrrr

Great that Moet seems less troubled and still wants his walks. We use You Move for both dogs also. It does seem to work.Thank you, Moet seems less troubled back on You Move and Paracetamol.

Sunday dinner at Mum's again today and a bit more snow shovelling to try to clear her drive. A very mild chicken curry for dinner, (much milder than mr gee and I prefer but Mum isn't keen on anything spicier)
followed it up with a hybrid of baked custard and almond clafoutis. I added four broken up sponge fingers to the bottom of the dish and then a dozen physalis berries cut in half. Poured over a custard made of an egg, double cream and almond milk, beaten together with some erythritol, truvia and vanilla and with 2tbsp of ground almonds. Left it to soak for an hour and then baked it. (For myself I wouldn't add sponge fingers but this was for Mum, I had LC chocolate sponge with full fat greek yoghurt)
Sponge fingers are about 5.3g of carb each and physalis are 11g carb per 100g so still fairly carb controlled. It made three reasonable portions to serve with a drizzle of extra cream so probably about 10g carb per portion.
Hope your day is treating you kindly
@SlimLizzy - I hope the situation warms up soon for you, (and without leaks ) and Errant isn't too dischuffed.
@gennepher - very effective snow scene today, I love how the tree works against the light
@dunelm - handsome magpie and very effective pine cone and needles, your perspective always works
@Muddy Cyclist - A gentle pat for Moet and a hug for you, it's so hard when our pets are in painhope the renewed medication helps quickly.
A fantastic, majestic tree now that it's finished, the light you have brought to the tree is particularly well painted
art bit - I'm going through a patch where I don't think much of anything I'm painting, perhaps it's a bit like playing golf, some days every drive will land well and sometimes it's the bunkerIt will pass You will see what I mean when I get to the next batch of scanned paintings.
Hope you're not too fed up of land/seascapes.

Thank you.Beautiful lighting.
Majestic and magnificent @Muddy Cyclist
That's a nice winter, icy frozen snow abstract piece of art from you, no wonder you were chilly in bed.Fbg 6.9
Been awake since 1:30, not tired so painting and writing postcards....
Digital painting in Procreate.
I was trying to achieve another snow painting like yesterday. But it didn't happen. It was meant to be snow and silver birches...
But somehow I failed at the silver birches, and so I just played with different brushstrokes in Procreate instead. Sometimes using left hand fingers, sometimes using right hand fingers. At all times I have Popeye between me and iPad, so it gets a little tricky at times...
So this is my 'failed' silver birch snow painting!
And a pic of his lordship...and yes I am wearing my outdoors fleece jacket in bed, with everything available piled on the bed to keep warm! And that is this post half written on the iPad!

An anxious and exciting day for your family, thinking of you all.Good morning everyone. In the temporal world another granddaughter due today so much excitement tinged with concern. All that I need has been graciously met, indeed exceeded so thanks be to God. Swipey was 5.2 today - unpromising cloud in otherwise blue sky. Magnificent sweet chestnut @Muddy Cyclist and hopeful news of Moet. So creative with both art work and culinary delights @geefull. I admire the fighting spirit I see in the art and dealing with life's problems @gennepher. I'm not ecstatic about this spell in the wilderness (woe failure) but I obviously need some humility. Not literally manna or water from the rock but all and always from the same God. Have a great day.
