New paintings and regular art updates.
Tonight’s tea. I decided to have a mushroom omelette (closed cup mushrooms fried in a little oil, then a spot of milk and two eggs). Cooked until the omelette was firm.
The salad was salad leaves with grated carrot and red pepper, a few sliced cherry tomatoes, a sliced radish, a few slices of cucumber, a few sliced garlic stuffed olives, half an avocado, and finally a bit of light mayonnaise.
I haven’t been doing #bandofsketchers prompts for some time. Well it’s abut time I joined in again and since it’s just after Easter I thought I would draw a boiled egg. Drawn in Artrage with metallic and non metallic pens. Prompt was breakfast.
Egg doodle using a newer version of Artrage that I’ve downloaded onto my new phone. Glad I’ve got this one, but other older apps I can no longer find. I will keep looking. It’s frustrating that the gallery images that I’d saved on those apps have disappeared, but you learn and transfer skills to other apps. This is meant to be an Easter egg. Can you tell? Lots more tools on this version, no opacity tool though so you can’t reduce the strength of the pen with a slider, and the old choice had a dry pen, and three other style of pens that I can’t remember now? But fun none the less.

What do you do with your stale bread instead of throwing it away? It depends what you have in your store cupboard.
I asked around for an old favourite of mine, bread and butter pudding. A friend obliged and here is her recipe.
You need to soak your bread overnight, that would be good. You need suet . Dried fruit. Sugar. Ground all spice. I beaten egg. Sorry cant give you exact amount. Suet possibly 4 ozs. Sugar about the same about 12 ozs mixed dried fruit and a good teaspoon of the spice. Mix together with the soaked bread and then mix in beaten egg. Put in the oven for about 1 and half hours on number 6. Hope it turns out okay.
I replied that I would have to use butter as I don’t have suet, also the sweetener that I use for cooking. I don’t have all spice, but I’ve got a bit of cinnamon. She doesn’t say what to soak the bread in. I might use half milk and half water?
Well, if it turns out OK I might let you know. Thanks to my friend for the help.

Another four year old picture from my memories. Another one done in ArtRage. Just a bit silly and fun. I think it started out as an attempt to draw an egg, then I got a bit creative. I’ve illustrated a book before, and this could be used for that sort of thing.
Drawing from your imagination is more difficult because you have to have an idea of what you are drawing in your head. I often describe what I’m drawing to myself so that I have an idea of how to depict it. I want to get my mojo back!
We don’t have these very often, but as we had gone out to see the train at Apedale we decided to have a full English breakfast. Apologies to vegetarians, there are alternatives available.
Full English in this case consisted of bacon, eggs, tomato, beans, black pudding, sausages and hash browns with two slices of toast. Sometimes they put in mushrooms instead of black pudding.
It was very tasty… . Washed down with a mug of decaff coffee.
