New paintings and regular art updates.
I don’t often photograph my food and this would never be published in a magazine, but it was tasty…this was my tea a few days ago.
I’ve started eating baked sweet potatoes as they have less carbohydrates than normal potatoes. I added a bit of cheese, some baked beans and shredded iceberg lettuce.
It was messy and tasty. Now I’m hungry.
By this time of year we would have been to a couple of local steam railways. The Churnet Valley railway and the Foxfield light railway. There are other nearby railways we could visit including at apedale in Newcastle under Lyme, and a couple of miniature railways at the Brampton museum in Newcastle under Lyme and at Fletchers garden centre further away in Eccleshall. Even further afield is a small narrow gauge railway at Amerton Farm garden centre on the way to Rugeley. Then down at Chasewater there is a light railway. That’s on the way to Birmingham.
So really well supplied with trains you can visit, not forgetting the main line ones. Sorry for the lack of detail but I would go on for several pages!
I can read
Read my thoughts
Thoughts joined together
Together in words
Words made of letters
Letters linked with lines
Lines make it cursive
Cursive makes it MINE!
30 year old self portrait with cat. I’ve not been well lately. So I haven’t posted here as much lately. I’m tired and aching, sleeping a lot and basically fed up. My arms, hands and feet ache, my knees ache in bed. I wish I had the energy of the young woman I was. I’m ageing and it annoys me!
It cheers me up to see it. It’s in the living room with me. X
I just found out it has a collaging section where I can upload multiple images then add details like text on the top. This is part way through the process but I’m not sure what else I want to do with it. My cat picture looks like a set of stamps….
Drawing a few cards for an art group I go to’s summer fair. I decided to use cats with patterns as a design. There is a cat in a hat, a sleepy sort of leopard style one and a couple sitting together.
I did quite a few last week of just cat heads and shoulders. It’s nice to just do a bit of relaxing illustration. The pens are a bit dried out so I’ve had to be selective with the colours. X
What did he hear?
Ears pricked, sitting up
Staring into the kitchen.
Another cat
Staring back
Looking at him, waiting
Eating the food
I put down for mine
Cheeky puss cat
Grinning!
I went to the garden centre today, it was crammed with lots of colourful flowers and I wanted to fill a trolley with lots of plants to put in the garden like I do every year. But this year is different. I am not strong enough to lift and carry compost, to fill the pots, I don’t think I should walk around the garden incase I fall, I want to do something, but my friend who would help is ill. I’m going to try and ask another friend to help out. Wish me luck. I still want a beautiful display.
Time ticks for all
Fast or slow, time passes.
Tempus fugit when you’re having fun
Unwind in the morning and relax
The world is turning slightly faster every day
Circadian rhythms control moods
Tired and sleepy night time beckons
Time loses us sometimes…
Infinity pools together..
Washed by the sea
Spun by the tide
Attached to a rope
No where to hide
Grow as a colony
Rinced with wet salt
Water gives life
Cleaning and filtering
Making a home….
