I thought at first that you had used the word ‘ergot’ so swiftly took my temperature before checking LSD stock level.I'm just assuming that is all friendly. I do hope it is not some kind of argot like a cockeny rhyming slang on class A?
I seem to recall ergot was used in migraine medicine some years ago?
A fine painting of a rainy day with a promise of brighter things to come, your handling of the many different ways the light is catching the land and water is very accomplished. I admire you trying different papers, I seem to have got stuck on just one type, must branch out.good afternoon all
4.5 today
it's chucking it down with rain here so we celebrated the day by taking a load of stuff to the recycling depot
Picked up mum's shopping list ready for tomorrow and made a cinnamon and orange LC sponge this afternoon.
I don't think I shall give up wearing my mask for shopping anytime very soon, we get a lot of tourists from the Glasgow and Edinburgh areas and the Glasgow area seems to have a cluster of the new 'India' variant
Hope your day is treating you well
@lindisfel - idiots aka-'barmpots' where I grew up
@dunelm - the pale yellow rice paper makes a pleasing subtle background for your landscape, amazing how much scale you have managed to get in so small an area
Your landscape today is fantastic, you have a real way with rocky crags, so much depth and balance, they always look so weighty and the colours add an effective highlight
Congrats to your grandaughters they must be well pleased
@gennepher - two completely different and contrasting pictures, the first is all light and those blossoms look like they would sway if you breathed on them
@Krystyna23040 - very well done for your latest blood test results, you must be justifiably pleased
@Muddy Cyclist - so good to spend time outdoors now the weather is improving isn't it? and seeing nature come back to life prompts the imagination

this is done on a paper called 'Britannia' by Hahnemuhle ( 300gsm lignin/acid free cellulose I believe)
I got some to try because it uses a different type of size to my regular paper (starch instead of gelatine). It is 'matte' texture which is supposed to be the equivalent of cold pressed but it seems a bit smoother than most.
The paper seems to handle water/washes in a slightly odd way, not as I'm used to, though I do like it. I shall continue to experiment

Your liver and pancreas are playing the same games as mine are. I do wonder if our bodies are getting rid of some liver fat and stored glucose. If so it is better out of the liver - even though it means fbs is higher for a while.
Although too soon to notice whether muscles are building I have noticed that I feel stronger when doing my daily exercises and can do more rep s - which is a very positive sign.
good afternoon all

Funny for the ZenBrush3 app making an argument about style and also substance. I didn’t know (or had forgot if you previously mentioned) that version 3 gave more than just black and red. Lovely mountains.
