Nancy, I have tomorrow off, and I, for one, am actually hoping it rains. It will be a hump day then. A total do nothing day. Yup. Who the heck am I kidding.

Agree! Lovely paintings Totalcolour! 

Nova, you do do architecture on chicken coops!  That is your current creative outlet.  I haven't had a day off since I turned 18 years. Even when I am sick I am moving! I do try to get to bed early once in a while and tonight is that night.

Thank you Nova. It's encouraging when people say that because I have Macular degeneration, and I'm never sure that what I see and paint is what is really there. (My perceptions are WAAAAY off!)

Kids happened to me too, so I encourage everyone/anyone to "TRY" and fit these things into their lives while they can. I wish I'd kept doing it while raising kids. I think of all the time I didn't paint and how much better I would be now if I'd kept at it.

I believe it's now called "spinal decompression".

I have an inversion table but I don't want to use just in case I get stuck in it.

 

That would be a horrible predicament!

This is a Cathedral in Britain (Salisbury), where I used to go to school - I can't get the flash to work properly, the colors aren't right. But I'm very happy with the composition, even though Himself says I paint dark and dismal paintings (well, it's twilight!).

 

 

And this is Bewdley, also in England, and the colours are way too saturated. Better get hubby to take some better pics.

 

TC - You have an incredible gift!  These paintings are beautiful.  I especially love the top one and would hang either one over the couch in my formal living room.  Absolutely beautiful.  The water in the top one looks like I could dip my finger in it.  I really, really love the top picture. Really.  Do you sell them or show them somewhere?  I hope you show them, they are too beautiful not to!  Did I mention I really love the top one?

Who wound up my chicks? The Silver Lace Wyandottes are being extra aggressive tonight. That in turn gets the dogs riled up.

Life in the zoo.

I like the top one too. I thought it was a photograph when I first looked at it. 

Thank you everyone re the paintings. I think my name screen name tells it all about me!

G'night MI's - off to make/serve bunny with leeks/mushrooms and mashed potatoes.

I like you guys a lot. Maybe we should move there; oh wait, there is the little problem of himself's job. Darn!
