waving good morning to everyone…another sunny day.
Today I have some Welsh mountain sheep (aceo)…later I am going to paint some more floral greetings cards…I need more variety in my shop and get a bit jet lagged with landscapes…lol.

Nice work ladies What does the word ‘nice’ mean to you? We were criticised for using it at school, we were told it was insipid, but Stephie’s Sprogs use ‘nice’ to mean ‘we really like that’ - with a three-times slow-nod of the head and emphasis on the I sound. So I use it like that too now.
Brenda my hat arrived yesterday and I absolutely love it! And hey you fancy lady, having your own pens printed and all! I’m impressed.

glad it was OK Stephie and re the pens, TED treated me to a whole box of them on our anniversary, so I give them away with crochet orders…sadly they add too much cost when I post paintings…flash eh? Ted is always looking for unusual presents and it is one UP from business cards…lol…
Re Nice…I think it is a lovely word…not too gushing and not negative
Imagine if you dressed up and someone said "You look OK"
Or “You look fabulous” (when you don;t know the person very well) So by saying NICE…it is middle of the road but still a compliment.
I hate it when teachers or people try to dictate which words we should use.
I remember once referring to someone in a wheelchair as handicapped…this guy pounced on me like thunder…stupid…the person had a handicap in that they couldn’t walk…a bit like referring to coloured people…now you MUST say black…sorry but my response is…sorry but you aren’t black, you are brown and I am beige…grrrr.
Political correctness gone mad…just my opinion of course and what would I know…lol…

I think we had a whole thread on how to refer to and speak to disabled people on here last year sometime, it was so confusing I still don’t know what to do. So I will just do whatever comes naturally at the time and hope I don’t cause offence.

Very sweet little painting Max. I have some little frames waiting to be sprayed, must get on and do it! Although I have a Christmas silk scarf to paint first so that I can advertise my next workshop.
Love your golfer card Brenda, reminds me of the ones that you’ve done for me over the years.
Today I painted some teasels. I did two sets, one for my aunt’s birthday card and doh, I put the image on the wrong side so it opens backwards. Ah well she loves handmade so hopefully she won’t mind. The other one I experimented with mica powder on the background. It worked well so I’m about to list it.

welcome to our art thread Pam…love your work and I have a ballerina painting on my living room wall that I bought many years ago…it is in a very similar pose and I love it
Love the teasels Stephie…beautiful…
waving Max…better go and do some liking next…
I shall be painting some more cartoons over the weekend…I sometimes need a break from landscapes, although the cartoons take a lot longer and of course it has always baffled me that you can get a price for a painting, but if you stick it onto card stock, add an insert and an envelope you are lucky to get a couple of £’s for it…that’s life…lol…
I DO enjoy doing the occasional cartoon though.
I hope everyone has a good weekend with lots of painting and artwork.

I’ve finally got round to spray painting one of those frames from the range that Max told me about. I’m really really pleased with the results, and it fits my doll house flower series perfectly…

looks great Stephie. I use Ranger Adriondak Inks on mine, you can brush on 
I have a HUGE can of gold spray - fortunately it goes on very well, I think it’ll take years to get through!

I’m spraying the rest of my frames this morning - all except one which is backed with some velvety stuff, and it turns out that I can pick up the paint that’s sat in the bottom of my spraying box and brush that onto the one that I can’t spray. Perfect
Alongside that I’m setting up my silk frame ready to paint a Christmas scarf so that I can advertise my Xmas scarf workshop.
We have the decorator in this week to do the hall, stairs and landing - the only room that we don’t do ourselves. I have to decide on a colour scheme by tomorrow - I’m thinking a pale peachy white everywhere. The bit I’m struggling with is whether to go beige on all of the woodwork - what do you think?
Pale peachy white…would that be camouflage for the puppy?
Today I have another golf cartoon card
