good evening all
4.8 today
a bit more normal today (well normal for me that is
) and only an itchy, red patch on my arm now.
A lovely mild day here today so we managed to get a bit of garden work done, we've been meaning to give a short length of hedge at mum's a good chop so that it is reachable for regular trimming. We had a look at it today and the -14'C and vicious wind have done it no good at all, it's all wind burnt. We've started to give it a good cut back and we'll have to see if it recovers
Katy helped by playing with the offcuts (which she enjoyed), and then needed a good brush afterwards (which she was not as pleased by
).
Hope your day is treating you kindly
@gennepher - lovely painting, I especially like the texture on the tree, very effective
those lights in the sky remind me of 'Close Encounters'
@dunelm - beautiful and delicate plum blossom and a handsome pair of magpies you've given us. 'Two for joy'
@SlimLizzy - at least mr slim is on their radar now, I hope that they can institute good symptom management for him in the meantime
@BRSBRI - Is that Alfie? Very dignified
@Muddy Cyclist - Yes that really leads the eye in, it's very effective and dynamic
and a good strong start to the next painting, I look forward to seeing it evolve , I'm enjoying this series thank you
art bit - my study on a work by an artist named Anna Dillon, I like the way she has of using strong colour in a very sculptural way
