Superb eagle painting Stephie,
Beautiful day todayā¦got all the windows openā¦
Managed a few paintings todayā¦I revamped an old acrylic that I didnāt like and instead of wasting the left over acrylicā¦(there is always some) I sort of smeared it onto an aceo piece of paper and will give it as an abstract gift to one of my customers.
I hate waste so this will be a good way of using the paint that is left. Sometimes I give bookmarks but I think that they have been responsible for tearing the envelopes that I post as a few people reported that the envelopes were torn on arrival and I had a lightbulb moment and thought that it might be caused by the laminated bookmarks insideā¦
A friend of mine also said that on the UPS website, there is a message saying that post to the US might suffer considerable delays due to the bad weatherā¦so I am hopeful that my paintings will still arrive.
A friend of mine in the US had 4 inches of snow yesterday !!

Good afternoon everyone, itās a glorious day here, itās great to see the sunshine.
Itās bad news about the Jean Haines paintings, it seems to be happening more and more, itās so easy to do, even watermarks donāt deter the real determined ones.
I popped an aceo into my shop, I tend to do better over the pond with my aceoās but I have a snowdrop one over there so I thought Iād try one over here.

Thank you Margaret 
Pretty Snowdrops Jan.
That sounds very interesting Brenda, I like abstracts and I find they turn out best if thereās not too much thought going into them.
Look itās my article!!

Brenda i do like those fantasy art landscapes you do ā¦fingers crossed that your paintings arrive to your customer in US, i think your right about post going to central city for distribution onwards.

Jac your mugs are adorable, Iām not surprised theyāre doing well
Thanks for the magazine love everyone, yes Iām thrilled every time I see it, I still canāt quite believe that Iām writing them!
Hehe Brenda Iām taxi most days but am not complaining as I will miss my daughter terribly when she goes to uni this September, so Iām making the most of her company while I have it! Your green landscape is so soft and dreamy, I love it. Hope you get time to paint later.
Waves Max, hope youāre not exhausting yourself, you seem to be very busy all the time.
Iāve done my quarterly trot round my card stockists in town this morning, one hadnāt sold many so only took a few more but the other shop had almost sold out so theyāve taken another 16 
Right, I must focus. Got an order to post, an aceo commission to do and I MUST get that dratted triptych finished this week. Catch you all laterā¦

Hello everyone.
Lots of lovely Art on show in here as always. I havenāt been on folksy much lately. Iāve been busy with Art In Wax in other places, folksy is quiet me nowadays, which is such a shame as this where I started out - my plus account still runs for a while yet so Iāll still be around

Good morning everyone, waving hi, another busy day but should be quieter tomorrow, yes Steph I do have a lot on, but Iām really enjoying the work lts of change and itās great being involved at the coal face so to speak :). Margaret I know what you must be going through and if ever you need to vent or just chat you know where I am, being one of the project managers for designing and implementing change in our organisation which has just been privatised the changes are massive, so I may be able to help if you need any advice
right off to work! art society tonight otherwise known as playgroup 
on tonights easel is a mixed media with buttons!
Morning everyone - long time no speak. I have been popping in to get my art fix and catch up on your adventures though. Iām mainly keeping in touch through FB these days. Lovely to hear all is going well for you. I am busy with commissions and life in general.
Take care everyone.

Morning everyone, thanks Max for your offer of someone to vent to, Iām not at that stage yet but might be when it all starts! Thereās four of us to man this new āadmin poolā and the other three donāt seem to think it will work! Iām keeping positive though and will simply continue to do what Iām paid for and try to keep calm.
Lovely painting Brenda.
Waving Gaynor
