good evening all
4.6 today
Frosty during the night last night
we've had a quite day pottering at home with just a quick walk to get some milk and dispatch some glass jars into the bottle bank becaue it has rained all day here
The poor caravan dwellers are looking a little soggy as they doggy walk on the beach.
From a visitors' conversation overheard in the village shop (and human nature being what it is), there seems to be a bit of a feeling of 'I've been shut up for months couldn't we at least get a bit of sun '
Hope your day is treating you well
@Muddy Cyclist - handsome bath pond in the making there
and I look forward to the continuation of your painting, it promises well
@dunelm - lovely shaded blossom there, the colour glows and that's a fine fat pigeon in your park painting, we have a couple such that visit in our garden
Mum has a gean cherry tree in the garden but any little fruits soon get snapped up by the birds
@lindisfel - Tom Lehrer
@gennepher - lovely swan picture, very fluidly painted too and I enjoyed the inspiration
art bit -
this was one of the last of the pictures I painted on my original batch of paper, you can see that this one was quite badly affected by the flaws in the surface sizing (looks like darker pinholes where the paint just sank in
) I should have fixed the 'cauliflower' in the clouds but I was a bit disheartened
Onward and upward
