Beautiful piece of digital art. I like the way that you can decide whether you are on a boat on a reflective water or sat on a bench wondering why there is a boat there. Popeye in the smoke, great. Hope that the acrylics come out soon.Fbg 6.6
Early bird this morning...
A day when I have to be there when I am still here...
Creative...well...it's on the iPad with two tree photos put in the app called Tiny Planets, then inverted them. Popped into Procreate. But I had a fixed idea what the finished product/painting should be. Sigh. It is nothing like it.
Sigh...
What I really wanted to do was do an acrylic painting (this is @dunelm 's fault for doing big paintings, it is lovely doing things in large...sometimes), my bungalow is too small for this. I can only do big paintings when we get a run of dry weather, and I put up a table outside, acrylic paints and all the paraphernalia needed. And it stays out there day and night for a week or longer if the weather is kind to me.
I wanted a palette knife in an app to do the painting I wanted with the trees. Procreate doesn't do one, at least not in the brushstroke downloads I've made so far. There might be some you can purchase for it. But, what I have done in the meantime is download some apps which do have palette knives within them. And maybe have another try at this photo/painting tonight....
Oh, his lordship is in there, and he is not that ginger cat...
But I got a bit carried away with small pixels again...sorry, I forgot they were so small...
Be good today...
Bye....

Enjoy a wonderful hot drink after your windy walkA more normal for me 5.4 this morning. The run of 4s seems to be over but I am very happy with readings in the 5s.
Dog walk shortly. When I typed dog walk - predictive text wanted me to add postponed. It would be lovely to relax in the warm a little longer as it still is quite windy this morning.
Thank you @dunelmBeautiful piece of digital art. I like the way that you can decide whether you are on a boat on a reflective water or sat on a bench wondering why there is a boat there. Popeye in the smoke, great. Hope that the acrylics come out soon.
Am now back relaxing with a Nespresso on my reclining chair. So lovely to relax with a coffee.Enjoy a wonderful hot drink after your windy walk
We saw some of this, on vinyl. Oh what a feeling, you can glue it to the ceilingGreetings one and all on weigh-in-Wednesday (74.4 kgs since you asked) in this exact patch of Forest Heath USA. Swipey still boxed. Gym at 10.45 then orf to Cambridge - after shower and change obs- where M and S food, Lidl, Aldi and Starbucks are all within about .5 of a mile. Valentines day meal deal hunt and spend a £20 voucher. We must be home by 4.00 pm to collect our granddaughter from Nursery (no longer COVID central?) and return her home to where the fighter planes live. @gennepher, wonderful creative today thank you so much. @dunelm thanks for the art and best wishes for carpet hunting. Personally, I prefer wood/stone/engineered flooring but we are all different thankfully. Duck breast salad last evening was a triumph darling, a triumph. More Assam before venturing unto the Land of Lycra (I'm not a MAMIL but a walking Nike advert) Have a chune which needs to be on loop as I shift some blocks and bridge me glutes. Physio says I'm good to go if'n I don't imagine I'm Sampson or preparing for The Superbowl.

Properly sealing the cupboards will require relocating the mains stop tap, so not a simple job.Oh no - yes, seal up the cupboards.
Always something isn’t there? A bit like trying to do a simple job on an old car.Properly sealing the cupboards will require relocating the mains stop tap, so not a simple job.
These big sheets @dunelm have a majesty that doesn't seem to happen in the small paintings. I like them very much.Good morning everyone under an angry looking sky here in the dark and dangerous north
Mrs Miggins up and out early yesterday with the girl in the bubble while I stayed waiting for goods to be delivered. This enabled me to enjoy a morning performance of The Cacophony Sonata by the carpenters who were busy demolishing two cupboards that were built into the fabric of the house and then doing a bit of plastering in preparation for some new stuff today. We will be disappearing off to look at carpets and bits of lino (spare bits can be used as summer sledges on grassy hills).
Another big sheet splurge of ink on rice paper - I might just continue in this vein for a while as I have lots of big sheets that I usually cut into three. Mittwoch - have a great one if you can, they only appear every week. Koffy time.

Thank you @gennepher. I have a lot of these big sheets and have ordered some alum and gelatine to size them as they are very porous.These big sheets @dunelm have a majesty that doesn't seem to happen in the small paintings. I like them very much.
That is interesting. Not all rice paper is equal in porosity.Thank you @gennepher. I have a lot of these big sheets and have ordered some alum and gelatine to size them as they are very porus.
Enjoy the babysitting and congratulations on the downsizing.Hi everyone,
5am start today as I am babysitting my sisters little ones. Fbg was 5.4
On the plus I am down 50kg since July 2021still got some to go but a huge milestone.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day
A sideways picture ?Good morning everyone from another day with weather included, here in the dark and dangerous north
Under stairs boot and shoe cupboard now complete and built in wardrobes should be finished today also. We have the girl in the bubble today - still not quite right to return to nursery but she seems to be picking up. I have ordered some new supplies in order to size my large sheets of rice paper - Alum and gelatine. You dissolve them in water and paint onto the paper. Rice paper comes raw, semi-sized and sized - the more size, the less porous. Bread making yesterday and just for fun, added 25g strong bread flour and a heaped teaspoon of vital wheat gluten to make less cake like - not bad.
Landscape sheet today - same large size at the portraits of late but turned 90 degrees - crazy or what! Have yourselves a great day if you can. It’s the parade of the bin lorry here this morning. Koffy first though.
