Oh Dear....

Hi All,

I have been trying all evening to post the next paintings here as promised, but

I cannot get past "loading" on my PC!

Have no idea what has happened, I am writing this on my I-pad. Computers are great,

but when they go wrong.....aaaaarrrrrgggghhh!

And I was doing so well.....

I hope I can find a solution for tomorrow, please call back later.

Thank you, P.

A Bit of Manx Landscape...

Hi All,

Had quite a productive day today....for a change! With some acceptable

results.

This is my interpretation of the view which until recently (someone has built a house

in the way :(   ) I could see from my window. I can still see it if I go out and walk

round the corner. The tower, or folly, known as Milner Tower, stands on Bradda

Head, and the traditional Manx boat is known, apparently, as a "Manx Nobby".

In the summer, we do get some spectacular sunsets, so it wasn't too difficult

to imagine this.

There is a second painting......later......

Bye for now, P.

Mini Bunny....in a Box.

Good Evening,

I just love small.

When making something like this, it actually takes just as much time as it would

to make a larger version. Everything is scaled down including the stitch size!

I have to say that I often struggle these days, my eyesight is not what it was :(

I have 4 pairs of glasses: distance, close up reading, close up sewing, and a pair

with bifocal lenses so I can sew and watch the television at the same time (or see

what I'm eating and who is sitting at the other side of the table......or I leave

the glasses off depending on who that is!).

At least the days will be getting lighter.

Thank you for looking....P.

My Golden Girl....in Collage.

Good evening, welcome to Day 15......and still going!

This is today"s creation, and for a change, I am really pleased with it.

It could be because of the subject of course, my beautiful daughter (one of them).

How can you go wrong! And I love collage. This is my version of this week's

lesson with Wanderlust 2016. I seem to work best with the more precise and controlled

techniques, less messy :) but I am determined to get to grips with "loose"!

I must say this course was a really good choice.

I will definitely be doing more of this during next week.

By for now, P.

Maybe I Could Recycle the Better Bits......

Hello All,

How come some people are able to do this random mark making journaling

thing so easily (apparently) but I just don't seem to get it?

I have problems with colour to start with: too many? not enough? wrong choice?

I know there are rules.....colour wheels and relationships....but I still find it a

struggle.

Perhaps if I put it away for a few days and look with a fresh eye, I might see how

to bring this together. Or maybe I could do some colour scheme studies....

What appears to be random, is not.

Might have another go tomorrow.

Until then, P.
