Thursday/ Friday post

Hi Everybody!

Another short post, I had a lot of examinations today and have more tomorrow, so I don't have much time. And I didn't get round to visiting anyone today, so sorry, I will try to catch up in the next 2 days. Today I am sharing a piece meant for Elizabeth's challenge 'What's your style' at AJJ and for Paint Party Friday- It's an A3 mixed media painted  collage:






And some thinkies/ funnies:

Medical sensation, a new type of anaesthetic:




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

    Good morning Valerie:
    This young woman is obviously going to San Francisco, because she has a flower in her hair, a requirement as we all know. Not only that, one of her eyes has migrated there and is shedding a tear for the state of the world with its climate deniers, anti-vaxxers, anarchists, truck-parking idiots and buffoons of every persuasion. But, she is adorned with a butterfly at her neck as a perfect foil to sadness, a symbol of the ephemeral beauty to which we all must cling. It reminds me that the first butterfly of spring, the early-to-emerge Mourning Cloak (Camberwell Beauty where you live), will be putting in an appearance in March. Now that is something to look forward to. It must be exhausting to continue to have so many tests and to be constantly pricked, poked and prodded. Hopefully, they will be able to get to the root of your illness and wave a magic surgical wand to restore you to peak form. In the meantime try to stay strong, difficult though that may be. Hugs and kisses, David

      Hi David, your fun replies always make my day! Yes, the world is full of idiots, they seem to be lurking everywhere, not able to do anything positive themselves, but happy to protest against everything and spread hate and confusion. I say snowdrops, crocuses and daffodils yesterday on the way back from the hospital where I had the tests, so good to see them. Today I have an easy day, no more exams and just 2 therapies, so I'm trying to catch up on the computer. Have a wonderful weekend, take care, hugs!

    Loved your beautiful art. You need to follow your own advice and rest. Love the face, which is so YOU and the butterfly, which everyone appreciates.

    Truly enjoyed the thinkies, but the potato chips had me rolling on the floor. Please take care of you. I hope the tests were not difficult and the results were favorable. Please look after yourself, dear.

    I hope all will go well Valerie with the tests you are having.
    This is a beautiful page a touch of sadness was my first thought then a quick change of direction to the hope for better days. Its strange how quickly thoughts can change when looking at art.
    Stay safe and rest.

    No matter how well the medical people handle things, needing tests and possible therapies is dreadfully stressful, and I feel for you and all the things you must be going through. I hope you receive good and optimistic news on Monday.
