Oh well
Not selected
Does not mean bad
Or unsuitable?
People have to fit in
With the style
The colours
The motifs
Of an exhibition.
Anyway
I liked it X
Didn’t get in!

Paints
What paint to use on scenery? It would be cheaper to use emulsion paint, but the tins are too big for the Mystery Play job as we only have a few pieces of scenery to paint, so I got out my trusty acrylic tubes. The palettes are a bit of a mess, but I have to admit I like peeling the paint off to see what the back of the paint looks like (shiny and smooth, multicoloured).
More to do, tired…
Don’t trust the results!
I frequently get games popping up in adverts on my phone and sometimes they say they will measure your IQ?
I just played a game where you ‘unscrew’ bolts that hold a building together. You have to rotate the building in 3d to find the bolts, and also you have to chose the correct colours to remove so that they slot into three matching coloured holes at the top of the page.
I started and kept going to the end, when the counter for IQ got over 120 I was surprised, but as I removed the screws it kept increasing (it didn’t get more difficult). When it finally got to 600 at the end of the game my scepticism peaked!
Silly game, just a test of hand eye coordination.
Cataract
Abstract eye
Blur like romantic film
Smeared out colours
View impeded
Glare at night
Sunshine glows
Tones changed
Eyes dimmed
Distorted life
Fed up.
Finished planting pocket
This is the planting pocket I made at BArts pottery project a few weeks ago. It was made with rolled out terracotta clay and coloured with bright slip. I used plants to impress patterns into it’s surface. It looked OK, but the colours intensified during firing. I think they are almost too bright. I hope when it has soil and a plant in it, it will look nicer. X
Almost done
Sad tulips, they’ve almost wilted. The result is an almost abstract mix of colours, like impasto oil paints, starting to merge and mingle.
I will have to throw them out tomorrow, but if I can get a photo of them in a bright shafts of sunlight that might be interesting…
Sky
A crystal ball above our heads
A droplet of water magnified
Held to the ground, pulled down,
Curtains draped with fog
Moisture smears the view
Like glasses rinsed and wiped?
The sky’s the thing
Ever changing
Sometimes black, grey, bright.
Rainbows and thunder
Rain and snow, a marvelous show.
Is it a red sky tonight?
Cadmium colours
In the 1980’s My hubby worked for a few years in a cadmium colour factory, they processed the raw pigments to get colours from pale yellow, through orange to red and deep matoon red. He bought me jars and jars (empty coffee jars) of the colours home, but as they are made of a heavy metal I decided to give them to a friend who knew how to use them and grind her own oil paint.
I don’t know if he was allowed to bring them but I think he knew I would love the colours and I did. They were the purest colours I had ever seen. To quote Rudolphs song “you could almost say they glowed”. As Cadmium is similar to Lead though, I decided not to use them.
Sunset tonight
I saw that the sunset was developing from my side of the hill, but we are blocked from sunsets by that hill. So I jumped in the car and took some photos on the other side. This was one of the best, penkhull, England. 14.12.24. I think one cloud looks like a shark!
Time flies
When I tried to make a “time flies” dragonfly fridge magnet. Made out of air drying clay. I painted it in bright colours. The hole was for a watch to tell thr time. Made about three years ago. I added magnets on the back. It eventually fell off and broke.
