Thursday /Friday Post

Hi Everybody! 

Thanks for the good wishes yesterday. I went to the doctor yesterday, who examined me and then told me my blood pressure was 240/140 - a tad too high. I got some medication, and had to wait for 20 minutes, then t was measured again and it was down to 220....I got another tablet and had to wait again. Then I got a 24 hour blood-pressure monitor on my arm, so it's measuring every 15 minutes. In the night it will measure every 30 minutes, and tomorrow at 8 a.m. I can give it back. My blood pressure is lower now, about 160, so lets hope it keeps going down!

Today I have a piece for Chris' challenge 'all kinds of weather' at AJJ. The background is a photo taken back in 2014. The view down the steps into what used to be the mot. with the lamppost in the middle always reminds me Narnia, when Lucy went through the wardrobe and met Mr Tumnus, the faun. I used the photo of Erika as Lucy, and added Mr Tumnus and a fairy, as they abound in Narnia:

I made this painting in my last art group:

I started off with a collage of scraps which I gessoed over:

Then I painted the background with blue and gold;

I'm not sure why I put the bird in it, but I did. And I made a mess of the eyes, one is too big, aaaargh! The leaf earring was made with a real leaf painted with gold paint:

And this version has been given a digital twist:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
