Newly Finished Aceo's

Have finished the Aceo's that I started,

I Have painted them in Acrylic's and varnished them for protection.

I am calling this painting

'INCOMING TIDE'

This painting is called

'Crashing'

I am placing these on Ebay tonight !

I have just started two more, suddenly got my painting urge back, Yippee.

When I don't feel crafty or Artistic I just cant seem to get started.

Lovely Birthday Lunch

Today I went out for a friends Birthday Lunch, although the day was overcast and drizzly, it was warm.  We had a lovely traditional lunch of delicate salmon, cucumber and ham sandwiches.

Proper Cornish cream tea,

& Caramel slices.  I can hardly move after eating all this !

We had this in a new Cafe on the beach.

It was a perfect get together.

Happy Birthday Sue !

This afternoon I started two new ACEO paintings (probably as I could hardly move).

These will hopefully be finished tomorrow, I will then post for you all to see.

Have suddenly got a creative urge, (about time)

See you tomorrow

wax Atc swap

Well, have been busy, busy busy,

Having a major spring clean.  Haven't had any spare time for Art or blogging.  Starting to have withdrawal symptoms have to be creative soon.  I just wanted to sort the house out before the summer holidays.

I have received a lovely package of bee's wax ATC's from the paper traders swap.  They are so gorgeous that I will be displaying them !

My photo just doesn't capture their true beauty.

Thank you all.

I have also received another great little package from Angeline in the Lawendula quick swap.  She sent me a little envelope stuffed full of gorgeous goodies.

Thank you sooooooo much.

Hope to be with you with some art soon !
