Hello bloggers 
Hope you are having a jolly christmas. Sorry about the snow. It's all gone here now. I think it just blew away in the night! Sad, really, I don't ever recall having snow for Christmas. Instead, we've had wind, and lots of it. Blowing the birds in all directions around the garden, away from their blessed seed. It amazes me how safe they feel when our dog is in the garden. It's quite extraordinary. They must have a keen knowledge of the workings of cats and dogs. When he wanders into the garden, down they come from their tree perches, only one or two feet away from our dog. Mind you, he does have a slow nature (not intellectually), but 'why run when you can walk'? seems to be his adage.
I received a lovely little gold saxophone from my husband. It sits really sweety around my neck. That way, I can still play it during the night
I've started a new landscape painting, most of which seemed to end up on my dress and around the house. Bright yellow paint, in fact. I found huge splodges on my dress, then on my chair, pillow. I hate it when that happens, and you have to go on a paint hunt. It isn't fun like it should be. It amazes me how quickly the paint goes on.....compared to how long it takes to discover and remove! Nothing like scrubbing your dress when it's still on you too. Not a pleasant experience. And leaving the garmet on, whilst you scrub it, is a laziness you always regret, isn't it?
Anyway, I love seeing those speeded-up paintings done. So, I'm going to give that a try over the next few weeks. I will attempt it by taking a snap of my painting at each stage of its progress, and my husband assures me that you can just piece it all together seemlessly (
) So that it runs smoothly, and looks like its been painted at lightening speed. I'll post it up on youtube, with my other little videos, when it's 'seemlessly' done
Here's the unexciting start snapshot, gives you a chance to guess how it will turn out.......great fun!
Can you guess what kind of landscape it is?
