Tuesday Post

 Hi Everybody!

Hope your week got off to a good start. It's getting colder and greyer here, so I'm hoping the sun will show itself again soon.

Today I am sharing a piece I made inspired by the lovely faces of Melanie Rivers,  who often ofers free videos and lessons for people who join her FB group. This is an A3 page with a background which was coloured by rolling my brayer over it:

Some progress shots. I started off with the drawing:

Various layers of paint:

And here I thought I was finished, until I realised I hadn't given her any hair:

And I made a special version for Wendy's birds challenge at AJJ:

And some atmospheric photos from this month last year - we had more leaves on the trees then:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

T sTands for a new challenge at Tag Tuesday

Hi Everybody!

Hope you have all enjoyed your weekend.  I have another lupus flare up just now and am having to swallow lots of cortisone tablets again, which I don't like, but sometimes it's necessary. My fingers are very painful and so I can't write much just now.

The new challenge at Tag Tuesday is pets, and this time I am hosting, so hope to see lots of you joining us there with your tags. The challenge goes live at 8 pm this evening:

Today is also time to celebrate Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday, which begins Monday evening. As all  cafes and restaurants are closed now, I have pictures from 2 particularly decadent cafes visited last year, where there was coffee and cappuccino and cake in plenty;

I am looking forward to the time when we will be able to enjoy these delights again!

Some photos from last week's walks:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
