Weekend Post

Hi Everybody!

Heres wishing you all a happy and hopefully relaxing weekend! 

Today I have a hybrid piece for Elle's Book, cats and tea challenge at AJJ. It's an eclectic mix of 'real' and digital put together in my graphic's programme. The books are real, the bird is my balcony blackbird and I painted the background, the cat and cup are digis:



In the first pic the sun is peeping through a hole in the bushes, and then it gets stronger and rises higher - this was all in the space of about 6 minutes:







And as I climbed back into bed to drink my morning coffee I must have pessed the button again:


And some thnkies and funnies:










I'm sure you know who this lady  is:


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

Thursday-Friday Post

Hi Everybody!

I'm happy to say that the worst of the heat is over. It's rather stormy just now, but that's okay. It's just so terrible that in other countries there are so many catastrophes, with the earthquakes in Marocco and terrible floods in Libya. My heart goes out to all that are affected and I hope they get the help they need.

This week I painted a picture with sunflowers (my version!) and a blue background. I made the background rough and 'broken' to show the situation there:





These quick collages were part of the course #LouiseFletcher made. We had a list of things we had to include in our work. I made 4 collages, which took less than ten minutes each. It was interesting to work like this, but not really something I will make too often:






And a selection of faces for Nicole's FFO:
















This is one of my fave collages:


I am also linking to Gillena's AFFF.

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

T sTands for Coffee and more!

Hi Everybody!

Hope you all enjoyed your weekend. It was very hot here, too hot for me these days, so I stayed home, did a lot of reading, drank lots of cool drinks and played in my art kitchen. It's hot in here, too, but doing nice things helps to take my mind off the heat. Tomorrow should be the last of the big heat, and then it will hopefully be back to normal, whatever that might be.... I also have some sort of allergy just now, so I'm itching, sneezing and coughing, nice. At least life isn't boring!

This week I painted an A3 piece with acrylics which will cover Elle's Books, cats and tea challenge at AJJ and  be my ticket for Elizabeth's TsfT drink party, which starts this evening. So here a warm welcome to all of the nice ladies of the T Gang who visit here.

Here the kitties are sitting side by side watching the live bird programme outside the window, and they have a delicous catnip tea to drink when they get thirsty. I was inspired by a picture on FB, where the kitties were made with flat pebbles:







And some thinkies / funnies:














I'm sorry I can't write much bla-bla, My health problems are not getting better, and this means my posts are mostly shorter and fewer  - did somebody say, 'Thank God' ??
Whatever!

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