Hi Everybody!
Just a short post today, I am still reeling from what happened in Uvalde and the big meeting of the gun lobby. Sometimes it's almost too much to take in!
Today I have another spotty-dotty piece with a rather colourful lady who looks sad. Not my fave piece, but here it is, an A3 piece painted with acrylics:
The photos were taken from my balcony over the past couple of weeks, I never got round to uploading them to my computer. Okay, I just forgot them!
Pigeons on the tree top:
Have a great weekend, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
Lovely art and photos
ReplyDeleteThanks Chrstine take care!
DeleteAt times it seem the world is over whelming.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
You are so right! Stay safe!
DeleteHi Val, good morning! Hope you slept well and are feeling fit this morning. the kids are at Leah's so I've got a quiet day here, that's wonderful! Have a great weekend, take care, hugss, Sarah
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day on your own! Have fun, don't do any house w*rk!
DeleteSpotty-dotty seems like a perfectly adequate description of the politicians drooling and fawning at the NRA convention, salivating at the vast sums of blood money they can get for their campaigns, and endorsing more guns. Of course they come up with great solutions like one door only schools, with an armed guard at the door, or arming the teachers. What's next, providing the kids with guns? It is beyond ridiculous. There is no other country in the world where children go to school under these conditions. Between news of the vast loss of ice from Greenland and the massacre in Uvalde, this has not been a good week. Hugs and kisses, Valerie. David
ReplyDeleteYes, at the moment the events are incomprehensible, there are no politicians prepared to counter the evils in the world. Why on earth do normal people need weapons of mass destruction to defend themself? How can some politicians carry on taking money when kids are being shot dead. They have no consciences, and already more money than they can ever spend. No, it's not been a good week. BIG hugs to you and Miriam.
DeleteVery beautiful sky. And yhat clouds - love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, the clouds and the sky are always fascinating. Have a great weekend!
DeleteThis spotty dotty weekend lady is another amazing face Valerie. I am into these spots. I'm with you about Uvalde, and all the others. It is such a shame, and I don't want to go on about the politicians in this country of mine. You have some beautiful sky photos too. It's a rainy Saturday morning here, and I slept in, so I'm keeping this short to catch up myself. Have a great weekend. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThanks Erika. Think of nice things to celebrate your new art room, and have fun!
DeleteAbsolutely stunning arty post, xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Annie!
DeleteYour balcony has beautiful sky views.
ReplyDeletebest... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
The Views are the best part of my apartment!
DeleteOhh she is gorgeous. I love the blue highlights. I made some java script changes on FFO and it is working now. Anyway I hope so. LOL Have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's working, I just tried it. Well done!
DeleteOh I love your spotty lady! The gun laws really are unbelievable aren't they, but people feel they have a 'right' to carry a gun! I just don't get it. Take care and have a crafty weekend, Sue x
ReplyDeleteI don't get it either. People have a right to live, the gun lovers shoud think of that! Have a great weekend, hugs!
DeleteIt's ever a shock to be hit with yet more proof that our children just don't matter, or at least not nearly as much as fulfilling gun fetish desires :(
ReplyDeleteYour balcony view is lovely :)
Yes, it's just unbelievable. It's evil.
DeleteWhat a beautiful sky shots! All photos are great. Thanks for all these art-works. Greetings.
ReplyDeleteHave a great, new week, stay safe!
DeleteBeautiful colors - both in the picture and in the sky.
ReplyDeleteThanks Carol, hve a good week!
DeleteI do like your spotty, dotty lady.
ReplyDeleteGreat photographs, love the pink hues in some of the sky photographs.
All the best Jan
Thanks Jan, enjoy you day!
DeleteThese photos are beautiful. And yes, we are all heartsick. And confused. And angry.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeanie, have a great week!
DeleteLovely spotty lady and your photos are great too, such gentle colours in the clouds. Seems the gun lobby are more important than the youth of the country in the US, very sad.
ReplyDeleteYes, guns and the money they bring in are really more important than everything else.
DeleteSorry I am really late calling in, I am having real trouble with [ I think ] blogger. It is so annoying to type a piece then it goes walk about and needs to be done again , add to that I cannot get a photo to load, or the print colour to stay black on my blog. I could rabbit on for ages adding more issues
ReplyDeleteAnyway I have enjoyed reading your posts , seeing the photos and of course the inspirational art.
I hope you are having a good weekend.
Yvonne xx
I think we are all having various problems wit Blogger just now, and it is very annoying, I don't know what they are up to. Anway, always good to see you here, hope things soon get easier for you. Hugs!
