paths, painting & presents

oh my its july already
i meant to tell of last weeks happenings!
struggling with my painting in progress
"queen of the night"
a garden path at last ready
for visitors to the "red-den" (nearly there!)
a laughter filled 25th birthday
for my red haired lassie
travels to glasgow delivering a poorly applemac
& my wee bit o' self indulgence (above)
summery wanderings along the sunbleached sands
with a little dog called coco
then another new week . .

  8. Hello there Ruthie

    now that could be more than 'a wee bit of indulgence' but for such a busy week you are excused...

    I came from NZ and we all say 'wee' because of the many Scottish emigrants in the South Island...but you don't hear it here in Au so much so it is nostalgic music to my ears.

    Your painting looks intriguing - and full moon tonight...

    Happy days

    There is nothing more frustrating than a poorly computer, I hope you are back to normal soon.

  12. If the painting you've shown is the one you're wrestling with, STOP! It's perfect. Love the moon and the mermaids - two of my most favorite things.

  14. alaine, jasmine, julie & tammie-lee thank u for the kind words re mermaid painting, i suppose i wont give up on it just yet!! maybe im being the "perfectionist" again ;-)

    delwyn - how interesting that the "wee" is so familiar to you! i use it without realising.

    Chris, that self indulgence was found in a little coffee shop just down buchannan street, on the left as you walk away from the centre! (cant remember the name) but they have them sat in the window! yum!

  15. All I can say is don't even tell me the red haired lass of 25 is your daughter. You don't have a 25 year old do you?

    If that is the case I am shocked because you look so young.

    Love Renee xoxo
