T sTands for food and drink galore

Hi Everybody!

I had a fun weekend, did some drawing and painting, watched TV and read a lot. On Sunday I went out for lunch with my friend Heike, and we enjoyed ourselves.

This painting was made some weeks back and I am linking it to Erika's seeing red challenge at AJJ. The text along the left side of her neck reads 'silence is golden'. I used acrylics on an A3 sheet of paper:

This evening we start celebrating Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday link part, so here a warm welcome to all of the nice ladies of the T Gang who come by!

I mostly eat a banana and a raisin roll or slice of bread for breakfast. This roll looks just like a mouse, but I'm thankful to say  there was no mouse in it!

 

I love my huge coffee cup:

The pub / restaurant that we went to on Sunday was decorated for carnival. Tomorrow is the big parade in many cities, but on Ash Wednesday it's all

 over:

We both drank Weizen beer without alcohol:

The food was delicious. I had 2 giant Shnitzels with lots of chips / fries and a salad. I only managed one Schnitzel, so they packed the other one for me and I will eat it tomorrow:

Glasses and cups, already almost empty:

Then Heike had a fun idea that we should go over the road to our fave Café  for a cappuccino!

She bought me a chocolate heart, so pretty:

I think this evening we will both be exhausted from eating and drinking!

Happy T Day, have a great week,

And thanks a lot for coming by!

Weekend Post

Hi Everybody!

Here's wishing us all good weekend! I'm looking forward to some time to relax, paint, read and to go with a friend for a nice Sunday dinner at my fave restaurant here.

Today I am linking another piece to Erika's seeing red challenge at AJJ. I found a huge sheet of paper (A1) in the art room which had been used as an underlay for a water colour piece and then discarded. I loved the coloured stains on this half of the paper, and decided to paint on it. There was also a white ring made with something like structure paste on it. I used the white ring as part of my eye, added a nose and a big, red mouth and painted lightly over some parts with a very diluted indian yellow. I had a lot of fun making this, just playing on a used sheet of paper, and it was very relaxing. I stamped 'vision'. The quote written along the right side is:'Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others'

Some of the lovely decorations in the clinic:

And some Funnies / Thinkies:

Have a great weekend, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Thursday/Friday Post

Hi Everybody!

Hope your week is going well. We have had nice weather here, warm enough to sit out in the sun or walk around and see the first flowers springing up. I made this large heart for a friend for Valentine's day. She was sad because her late husband had always sent her a Valentine, and can't do it anymore. So I made her one, and it made her very happy. Here I have magicked it onto a journal page with flowers. The words were written by St Paul and can be found in the first book of Corinthians. I am also lining to Erika's seeing red challenge at AJJ:

 

Some faces to link to Nicole's FFO on Friday:

I love watching the day begin:

The first blossom I have seen this year:

Daffodils almost in bloom:

Clumps of snow drops everywhere:

Blue skies:

Crocuses are blooming, too:

But the good weather is supposed to be leaving us soon :(

 It has been a nice week up to now, so I'm thankful for that! 

I am also linking to Gillena's Friday art fun.

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
