A Bit of Summer Silliness


Thanks to Carolyn at Love-Stitching-Red for tagging me - a first and I'm thrilled out of all proportion! So here goes, 'six silly things that make me happy' are:


1. Summer dog walks (smiling and feeling young - which I'm not).


2. Smelling roses in the gardens I pass.


3. Putting washing on the line and watching it 'set sail' against an endless blue sky.


4. Seasonal fruity desserts - syrupy stewed blackcurrants and frothy gooseberry fool.


5. Sipping ice-cold lager or Cava (Champagne too if I get the chance, of course)!


6. Witnessing the breathtaking clarity of a Western, summer evening sky.



Now, who to tag? Probably should have decided this before starting the post. Some bloggers prefer to remain tag free, so please ignore this should I inadvertently tag YOU. And if you haven't been tagged and want to list your six, then go for it anyway!

This includes a piece of anaglypta from Carol Parsons painting class back in March, 2009? This particular piece of wallpaper has already been used to 'print paint to canvas'. Victoria Hilliard produces lovely ceramic pictures inspired by nature, including the portrayal of moths and butterflies. Would I have produced this collage if Tori were not a member of Art Space Gallery? Maybe not. Everything is 'grist to the visual mill' as far as artists are concerned. 'Floral - Pedestal' this painting just evolved. Fun, fun and more fun! 'Floral - Feel Amazing'. I love this artwork! My daughter's boyfriend bought her flowers, including old fashioned roses, which provided the inspiration for the flowers at the top of the painting and the cellophane wrapper is...
