PANSIES IN AN OIL CAN

 



Just posted this on a website called Pixels for print making.  I painted this a few years ago.  I had a lot of fun painting it -- this one seem to come easy for me to paint.  They are not all like that unfortunately, I wish they were.  Some are hard work!

This is oil on canvas.  A study in flowers mainly.  Painting is my most fun/interesting thing to do and I either cant find enough time or enough ideas to paint.  It helps if I have a blank canvas sitting here staring at me to give me the inspiration and the umph to paint.  I have been painting for about forty years now and I still feel like I have just started because there is so much to learn about the art.  But I will keep on practicing sort of like a doctor practices, you are always learning.

 BRING US HOME How long have we waited how long have we mourned the loss of our Savior the loss of our Lord. He has not forsaken us He has not brought change Change from what we were to be our selves again. Has he not lifted us above our fellow man given wisdom and understanding for all the years to come. He is our fortune And our inheritence for sure and given all heavens treasures for us to be secure. what better companion what better friend even though we tarry and wait for His return May He give us solace and strength to endure for what shall we with the weight of all the weary years. He came at the end of the ages to bring us good cheer he came to bring deliverance for all that He shed many a tear. For all that He laid down on our behalf and more Gave gifts of immensity for all in capitivity. How long should we wait how long forlorn waiting on our Saviour To Bring Us Home. by C.

CORONATION

Well, today there is a new King in England.  Charles III.  And a new queen - Queen Camilla.  Will there be great jubilation and a new regime from this King in England?  It will be interesting to see. I didn't watch the coronation - wrong time for me.  But I will probably catch the reruns of the festivities.  England was probably out with all their banners and flags.  And enjoying parties with friends and family.   I am an ex-pat so I won't be there to see the atmosphere and hear the shouts of jubilation, I'm sure it will be quite a day in jolly Olde England.  I wasn't there when Queen Elizabeth II was coronated either mostly because I was only one year old and my Mother, as far as I know, was not there either.  It is quite an elaborate occasion. Well, cheers to you Blighty and all hope for a bright and a prosperous future! http://xbrand.price351.hop.clickbank.net/?x=sse

MOTHERS DAY

Its Mothers Day in the USA today May 13 2018. When I think of Mothers Day I automatically think of my Mother and my Grandmother of course. My Grandmother was also my God Mother.  So yes, I think of those and my other Grandmother that lived across the road from us where I grew up. My Mother will be 88 this year on her birthday in October, so I have had a long time with her in my life.  When I think of her on Mothers Day, I remember all the great things she did for us when we were children, like taking us camping for instance at Epping Forest in Enfield.  Showing us how to set up a tent and camp as if that we were going to live there for ever.  It was heaps of fun.  The only thing I didn't like was the creepy crawlies that could get into your tent otherwise it was a wonderful time for me and my sisters.  Another lovely thing she would do in the summer would be to rent a room at  a bed and breakfast at the ocean.  Sometimes our grandmother would ...
