Hi Everybody!
Today I am sharing an A3 acrylic painting, once again with a vase and a cup/glass, made 2 weeks back. Once again I had fun playing with dots and circles - stamped with a paint pot lid, and just playing around. This is of course my ticket to Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday drink/link party which will be beginning this evening. Not much bla-bla today, I fell twice at the weekend and am in a lot of pain:
And this is what my table looked like when I was finished. Actually, it did'nt look much different before I started on it - I need to do a little clean up:
And I love how my painting-water glass looks:
I deadheaded my balcony flowers and a few tiny pieces were too nice to thow away. The little glass they are in is one of the sherry glasses from my great Auntie Fanny:
From above:
And on the shelf:
Coffee on Saturday:
So sweet:
Egyptian cats:
Do they still treat us as gods?
Well, I sh*t in a box nd then they clean it!
Well, I sh*t in a box nd then they clean it!
Very good!
Have a Happy T Day, Take care,
And thanks a lot for coming by!
Wonderful serving of art and humour. Valerie hope you heal quickly from that fall.
ReplyDeleteTake Care Stay Safe.
Happy you linked to Sunday Smiles
Much💖love
Thanks Gillena, hugs!
DeleteSorry to hear that you hurt yourself falling. It must have been very frightening, and i hope you'll be over it quickly.
ReplyDeletebest, mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Thanks Mae, it is scary, but I was able to pull myself onto an armchair. Have a good week!
DeleteThank you for sharing your art table.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on, and stay safe.
Thanks Dora, hugs 🤗
DeleteHi Val, good morning!. Sorry you are still hurting from the fall, hope you soon feel better. Love your beautiful art, the blue vases are gorgeous. Have a great week, take care, hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah, hope you all have a good week! I am trying to be very careful! Hope little S is doing well. Hugs to you all!
DeleteBeautiful painting and I do like that painted glass in progress, lol. I know there has to be a story behind that. Now, did you go and over do on Saturday? I just hate that you fell and twice at that. So hoping the pain just goes back where it came from for you. For the first time, I'm having pain trying to sleep on my right side. That just leaves my left side and I need to switch so as not to get too stiff. I've been able to sleep pain-free up to now. Take care and take it easy, XOX
ReplyDeleteThanks Aimeslee! Been out and about all day, had a great meal with Heike, and now I'm not moving till I go to bed!.I didn't overdo it on Saturday, my feet just let me down. Twice! Sorry you are having pain sleeping on your right side. I always sleep on my left, I can't turn over, so now I'm a lefty! Hope you can sleep without pain again! Have a great day, hugs!
DeleteI've had a few nasty little falls too. They really do shake you up and rob you of your confidence. I hope you feel better soon. I don't go outside now unless I use my. Rollator. I can't remember whether I've blogged about it or not now. If I haven't it's a topic I can consider isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI do like your great Aunt Fanny's sherry glasses. It's sad that things like that have fallen out of fashion, don't you think? I have a sideboard cupboard full of sherry and liqueur glasses. I don't want them anymore because I cannot drink. and yet I can't give them away because the charity shops don't take them because nobody wants them. By the way, my grandmother's name was Fanny.
I have been trying to sort out my desk too. It's still a work in progress. I do like your yellow and blue artwork Those two colours go together so lovely.
feel better soonest. hugs. Deb.
Hi Deb, falls are really nasty. But today I had a nice treat, went for a meal with Heike and we went both ways by taxi. It's a pity people don't value the old glass wear any more, it's so beautiful! I did give a joyful to a young lady when she got married and she loved them, she likes everything vintage! Fanny was an vogue back then! We could do some blog specials about rollators and walking sticks and toilet seat elevators, that would be something different! Have a great day, hugs!
DeleteI'm so sorry you've had 2 falls and hopefully your pain will soon subside. An artist never has a clean work area but that's what art is all about. My desk is filled with papers and inks and scraps of papers, but that's just how art works. The only difference is, I don't take photos of mine LOL Your acrylic painting is beautiful with all the circles and colors and I'd just love a cup of that delicious looking coffee sitting on the table. Sending healing hugs your way for no more falls and quick healing!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, a clean work area would be something new!. That coffee in the cafe is always delicious, just a bit pricey. Have a great week, Carol. Take care! Hugs.
DeleteEnough already with these falls. They are not good for your health, Valerie, and I hereby command you to stop doing it. I hope you can detect the stern inflexion in my voice and know that I am not fooling with this. Now as for your table, there is pleasant clutter, and there is creative disarray, there is even a hint of genius is a mess of bits and pieces, work in progress and puzzles for the mind - and then there is your table! That’s the kind of place you find long lost car keys from two cars ago, odd earrings, money even. I think it’s time for, at the very least, modest tidying up, at most an hour’s rental of a back hoe! The sherry glasses look very lovely with their companion flowers. If you can’t have sherry, why not put them to good use. We actually have a set of sherry glasses, not quite as lovely as yours I must say, but we do use them from time to time. For what purpose you might ask - to have a glass of sherry! My goal in life is to find a friend named Sheri and have a glass of sherry with Sheri. Maybe I’ll even find a woman named Port. A lady name Champagne would be really good! My recent desperate plea for bookmarks garnered not a one, I am sad to say. At one point businesses, festivals, quilt shows and the like seemed to have them as giveaways and promotional items, but that seems to have come to an end. I have actually started to remove some from books on the shelf to use in new books. How sad is that? I may have to start cutting up stuff to make my own, but I shudder at the thought of their ragged imperfection and lack of theme. Woe is me! Hugs and kisses, just don’t swoon at the thought of them and fall over! David
ReplyDeletePossessed don't shout at me like that. I will do my very best not to fall again! Okay, what you are trying to tell me through the flowers is that I need to clean my table....And just for a difference, I must tell you that you are right. Mea culpa, mea culpa. Spell checker tried to change mea culpa to Mrs cups....not bad, huh! I used to love using my sherry glasses to drink sherry, but it's totally out of fashion these days. we had a girl at school called Cherie Port, what a name. So kind of you to remind me about book marks, I will do my best! Have a great week, big hugs, Valerie
DeletePossessed should be pleeeease!
DeleteOh, I just thought you were possessed!
DeleteHow could you think something like that??!
DeleteLove your beautiful painting and can relate to the sports bra funny lol.Hope you feel better soon
ReplyDeleteCarol x
Oh yes, you need to do sport to get I'm on and off. I have a nice, pink one, it would make a good cap in winter. Must try it! Hugs
DeleteSweet little bouquet :) Love the "sports bra" joke lol I think they got that road photo from Memphis. So many potholes!
ReplyDeleteThanks. That road could be our road, too. It was all renewed last year and now full of holes again!
DeleteYour latest piece is lovely Valerie. The yellow really pops off the blue background. It's just enough to break up to blue. And your kitchen table looks like my work table. Like my whole workspace in fact. I pick up a few things and I take out many more so at this rate it is never going to get clean- smile. I hope the aches and pains start to feel better, and your having a nice Monday. Happy early T day too. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThanks Erika, glad you like my blue. It's been a blue week! It is hard to keep art spaces tidy. When I go to art group I have everything around me full, but there I must clear it away before I go home. 🏡 Home is always best!. And as I live alone, nobody sees my mess! Happy T Day, hugs!
DeleteYou are smart, and you are funny. I love that sherry glass. So pretty. You have good taste.
ReplyDeleteThanks, the problem is that I mostly can't afford my taste. But I do love all of the old glasses I have from my great aunt. Hugs!
DeleteOh Val. So sorry about the falls. Know I'm thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteLove the blue vase piece. Hugs
Thanks Sandra, Hugs! Have a great week!
DeleteI knew it was you! Hugs again!
ReplyDeleteI love your new vase and the left over flowers are so me I do that all the time just can't through those last few away. I think your desk is perfect just as it is xXx
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to know you save the last remnants of plants, too. Oh well, if you think my desk is perfect, I'd better leave it as it is, thanks! Hugs!
DeleteGood afternoon, I always enjoy your posts-Loveeee your newest painting. so sorry you fell Ouch! take care of yourself hugs finally a bit cooler here Kathy
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathy. Glad your weather is cooling off, too, it's so wonderful here to feel normal! Cool air - rain- breezes, yes! Hugs, Valerie
DeleteOh, I hope you're okay! Wonderful painting. I love the circles. My father's mother's nickname was Fanny. The flowers in the sherry glass are very sweet. Lovely way to remember her. Happy T Day
ReplyDeleteThanks CJ! Fanny was a popular name in the first half of the 20th century. Happy T Day!
DeleteSorry to read about your falls, I hope you are okay ... feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteLovely art.
All the best Jan
Loving your acrylic painting. The blue is so calming. The glass is beautiful and I always enjoy your funnies.
ReplyDeleteHappy Tea Day,
Kate
Thanks Kate. Happy T Day!
DeleteHey that was brilliant blue like getting a health treatment or something! I love that work. Aloha
ReplyDeleteThanks Cloudia, happy T Day!
DeleteSo very sorry to read you fell not once, but twice over the weekend. I hope your pain subsides soon, dear.
ReplyDeleteI really LOVE that beautiful painting. Blue and yellow go so well together.
Nice to see your lovely dead headed flowers. You are right that they are too nice to be thrown away. That lovely vintage glass they are in is a real beauty.
Your funnies are adorable and very nicely cat related, too. Thanks for sharing your incredible art, your amazing art table, your coffee at the restaurant, and your wonderful funnies with us for T this Tuesday, dear friend. Hope you are resting and not in too much pain very soon.
Thanks E, it can only get better! Happy T day! Hugs!
DeleteSorry to hear that you hurt by falling twice. I hope the pain will fade away soon. The artwork is really great. It is cheerful looking and colourful as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all these sharing. Happy T Tuesday!
Thanks Amila, happy T Day, have a great week! Hugs!
DeleteBardzo podoba m8 się twój coraz.ale najważniejsze, że dobrze się bawisz malując.obrazy. Miłego tygodnia:)
ReplyDeleteThanks so muc h Lucyna, have a good week! Hugs!
DeleteI am so sorry you fell. It's a hard thing because for me I don't know I'm falling. I just look up and I am on the floor. I hope you are OK. Love this art piece and the way your art table looks. Wonderful flowers too. However, the best funnie is the Roman road and todays road. That's how it is here. The patch work is worse that the pot holes. LOL Have a great day today.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nicole. Same here .One moment I'm standing, and then I just bite the dust! I don't know why people are not able to decent repairs these days! Hugs!
Deletei want this coffee so much:)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Kathy!
DeleteI'm thinking of you and praying for you! I LOVE your painting and the elephant photo just captured my heart....
ReplyDeleteThanks Debra, that baby elephant with its mom is just wonderful! Hugs!
DeleteOh, I love seeing your space, especially your work table and that wonderful jar of marbelized painting colors. Loving your arrangement too with your balcony blooms. And your painting! The colors are wonderful. I'm so sorry to hear about your falls. I hope that the pain eases (or has by now -- I think I'm a day or two behind in reading) and that you are going to be OK.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeanie. The paint running down the glass made it so pretty! Still hurting a lot, it will get better. Hugs to you!
DeleteWhat a super blue-love your painting and love even more your painting mess! The coffee, looks yummy and of course, love all the funnies...Hope you are feeling a lot better on this late evening Happy T day Tuesday! ((Lyn))
ReplyDeleteThanks Lyn, thanks for liking my mess, that does me good! Hugs!
DeleteWho would have thought that such a table could produce thar beautiful painting. I rescue stray flowers too - they may not last much longer but they still give pleasure! Your Sunday coffee looks good! I can imagine your aches after falling, I went through a period of having lots of falls but must say twice in one weekend is excessive. Hope you feel better soon, hugs, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteOooh, Chris, your first sentence says it all - clean your table! And you are right, it is very messy. But I can always work in the midst of chaos! I would just like a larger table! But I know, however large my table, it would always be full..... Have a great week! Hugs!
DeleteHope you are healed from the fall vj.
ReplyDeleteLoved your art
Thanks Ashok!
DeleteThanks so much, have a great day!
