OK, I have finished my seascape and don't like it, yes @ianpspurs I am a true Wednesdays Child. So will go back to the drawing board after a break, fed up of the sea. Off to band rehearsal now hope my musical creativity is in better mood than the painting. For what it's worth here is the failure but as it's been done over a couple of days and is huge I thought I had better be true to my daily painting promise and also do a quick watercolour sketch, here they be...
A. The days painting..

Edit.. forgot to say @dunelm and @ianpspurs Yellow is a song in our bands song list, we do an acoustic version with guitar, Mandolin, melodeon, tenor recorder and vocal, great song.
Despite your difficulties gennepher I think your art work is amazing.
@gennepher , another liking the pic...but sympathies for the hands.
also liking the indomitable spirit..you always show.(did some one say cantankerous)
bet you .could give a few of the young uns a lesson and a run for their money, i bet
in dealing with 'REAL' life issues..
@Muddy Cyclist I never tire of the sea paintings, thank you to you and @gennepher for sharing your talented scenes. Hope your hand is less painful now Gennepher.
Thats good but please dont feel any pressure from us to keep painting every day. If you spread them out they will still be very much appreciated. Please take care.Thank you for the compliments @PenguinMum
Hand has been strapped up today. And painkillers. It’s less painful now.
Bit late to reply but its good if the walking shoes are getting easier to wear. I have had many fails over my life with high heels but had a real success 9 years ago unexpectedly when I wore some to my brothers wedding. They were very good quality, bought on a sale and were amazingly comfy all day which really surprised me. Wellies these days dont work for me, too rubbing. I would strongly advise if footwear is uncomfortable its probably not worth it.I haven't worn high heels in nearly 40 years!I was very fortunate back in the early '80s to date a man who wasn't much taller than me. In heels I felt taller than him (even though I really wasn't) so I started wearing flats. I have never gone back to heels.
I have just about decided to keep these new shoes. After all, I bought them mostly for wet winter walking and I don't have to do a lot of that, thank goodness. Today they did not cause as much pain as the first couple of times I wore them, just a little in my lower back. And they are better for walking than my wellies were.
Once I move -- if and when -- I will be able to check out the lie of the land there and see if I will need any wellies; if I do, I will buy some locally or just order a pair online, as I do all my other clothes these days.
It seems like no one wears green wellies anymore anyway, which is a shame, because I loved mine.

Ha ha I think that was what I would call a result! I have never been comfy in wellies.You just reminded me that one of the last time I wore heels was to my sister's wedding (nearly 40 years ago! good grief!). They were a very elegant (for me) pair that I bought to go with a new dress I loved. Highest heels I ever owned, beautiful but !!!!!.
The wedding was in a "destination" house, not a church, so I had to stand the whole time, ceremony as well as reception. I enjoyed it all, but !!!!!.
I would rather stand around for hours at a horse show in wellies, in the mud! (And it was thanks to that marriage, and subsequent grandchildren, that I got to attend so many horse shows, in wellies, in later years!)
She is PM & I cant wait for their 'lazy days' ...the bathroom 7 their room is clear I'm not it's gone down my jumper into places it shouldn't have...as I came down the stairs they were at the bottom both looking at me with those big eyes...I couldn't be cross so just made some coffee & laced it with extra thick double cream...sat down for a break watching a re-run of Friends.
That's the best suggestion I've had so far...if I weren't working tomorrow I'd be opening a bottle right now...I am quite a softie they had a terrible start so mostly spoiling them I will get tough not sure when but I'm thinking about it.Suggest gin!

@Muddy Cyclist I love your seascapes, especially the crashing waves ones.
@SaskiaKC I still wear green wellies! In fact I wear them most times I go out, I have 2 pairs. They have lasted a lot longer than previous ‘smart fashion’ wellies which have pretty pictures of bees or polka dots on.
Oh yes they do! Our Moët manages to get hairs places he's not even allowed to go in our home.
Mrs MC only ever buys Le Chameau Neoprene Lined Wellington Boots with a walking sole. Bearing in mind she wears them every day to muck out her horse and walk him to and from the field which can also be very muddy and wet. Also on holiday when by the sea and camping and winter days they last ages, the last pair lasted 12 years before starting to let in water. I have a pair which are now 15 years old the only problem was I spiked them with a fork in the garden, a repair with the material they sent sorted that and they remain waterproof. They are also extremely comfortable. A little expensive but still cheaper than replacing poor quality boots every year or so IMO. Worth a look especially if you can get some in a sale.I saw some yellow ones with bees on just the other day!
(scraping the muck off)
I continued looking for just plain green ones.
Back in the '60s some people at the barn where I rode wore really cool canvas-and-rubber "Newmarket" boots for barn work and wet-weather riding.
I just want a pair of plain green wellies.
