Thursday/ Friday Post

Hi Everybody!

Hope you are all doing well! Life here at the clinic is good, but sometimes rather exhausting, so I'm looking forward to climbing into my bed!

Today I am sharing another tag for my steampunk challenge at Tag Tuesday :


And I have another piece for Elizabeth's what's your style challenge at AJJ:






I am also linking to Paint Part Friday

And I have a few funnies / Thinkies:






Have a great day, take care,
And thanks a lot for coming by!

    I like your latest tag Valerie. I think that is Charles Dickens. He makes a good steampunk person. And I am loving this latest face and her halo. You should look up Miguel Martinez of Taos, New Mexico. He paints so really fascinating faces too, and yours are a bit similar to his. Or his share some similarities to yours. I think you would like them. Get some rest, and happy end of the week. Hugs-Erika

    I love the cats in your steampunk tag, Valerie. It seems to be a cat themed post today. Your lovely red haired woman is a gem. Your faces really ARE your style, dear. Thanks for sharing her with us at AJJ using Bleubeard's and my theme.

    Gotta love the cat jokes today. Squiggles is trying to get my attention right now. He wants food and I just gave him some an hour ago. I used to clean house like the lady who was going to do laundry. I finally learned the right way, after being frustrated and never getting anywhere. That one hit close to home. I hope you get some rest, dear.

    Great funnies there Valerie. So sorry to hear the days are exhausting at the clinik. I thought you would be mainly resting and having lots of socialising. I do hope you begin to feel better soon.
    I just love that tag - everything about it. But I came here to look at your work for AJJ and was delighted to find another of your paintings. You do these gorgeous portraits and it is definitely your style. Love the flesh colouring, so good.
    Hugs, Neet xx

    Good morning Valerie: I hope you had a very good night's sleep and that you awoke refreshed and ready for anything that comes at you. Full marks to Erika today for noticing Charles Dickens in your steampunk piece. I wonder how the expression, "What the Dickens" originated? I would think it has something to do with him. Thanks for another lovely lady with long flowing hair. Imagine having locks like that and washing your hair? The budget for shampoo would be substantial! After seeing the dashboard in the car at four degrees I am going to have to pay close attention to mine and see if the same image is conjured up. I got a chuckle out of that! I glanced outside and it looks like a ton of snow fell overnight, so I will be shovelling the driveway later. We plan to drive to Belleville tomorrow so the highways should have been cleared by then. Fingers crossed. Hugs and kisses, David

      Hi David! Yes Erika spotted Charles D well! I have no idea where that saying originated, I must look it up some day! Yes that image of the 4 was funny, it made me laugh, too! Hope you can get to your daughter at the weekend, take care in the snow! I wish you safe travel and a great weekend, hugs!

      I couldn't resist looking it up, and my suspicions were right: "Dickens is a euphemism for the word devil, possibly via devilkins." SO it's a way to say "What the devil?" without being profane.

      Good luck with your recovery, Valerie.

    Its a great tag and a beautiful lady you painted for today's post Valerie. I hope you were able to have a good rest, the routine at the clinic must keep you on the go most of the day if you are not getting enough rest .
