Midweek Post - A bit of this and a bit of that

Hi Everybody!

Today I have a hotch-potch of different things to show you. My smart phone has recently been doing its own thing and keeps putting collages together for me





And some angry looking faces which I painted after reading a scary book, long, long ago:















I love this one - it's the view from my balcony:


This afternoon it rained really heavily for almost 2 hours:




Coffee is always good:


And a neighbour has a cow in the garden....


Some thinkies and funnies:




David Zinn again:




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

Monday / Tuesday post - what makes me happy # 9

Hi Everybody!

Hope you all enjoyed your weekend. I was extremely tired after not sleeping well all week,so yesterday I  had a good sleep and carried it over into Sunday, and slept half of the day again.  And it did me good!

Today I am showing one of my heads - yes, I have a lot! And i will be linking to Matilde's challenge at  AJJ 



For this one I used a hand-painted background and head, which I popped ito my Serif craft-artist programme, where I added the man in black - I think he was from TH -, and the eyes, cut from a magazine and colour-changed. The text was also cut from magazines, and the little head on top of my head was made several years back. And how the white flower got onto her nose remains a mystery, I have no idea, but now it's there for keeps! Sometimes I like making things just for fun!

And I have some thinkies and funnies:


I am linking to Elizabeth's TsfT.










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

Weekend Post - what makes me happy # 8

Hi Everybody!

It's nearly weekend, hurrah! This has been a busy weekend with lots of appointments at doctors and at the dentist, on top of the usual things like Physiotherapy etc, so I'm happy that it's Friday and that most of my exams and tests are finished. It's a wet, wild and windy day here, so I'm staying home and going to have a play day - painting, reading, eating, drinking coffee ....sounds good to me!

For Matilde's 'what makes me happy' challenge at AJJ I have recreated a piece I painted long ago. I took one of my van Gogh knock-offs, made lots of copies, and placed them over each other to make a sort of pyramid. I put 'my' eye in the middle:

And for Sandie's travel challenge at Tag Tuesday I went back home to London - I wish! I hope lots of you will join in her challenge, you can choose any form of travel and /or any destination....


I am re-showing some pieces from 2020, as they make me happy. And we really need light in the world just now, and in the heads of many politicians:





And a mish-mash of  Thinkies, Funnies, David Zinns etc.














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