The Blue Moon Day

-
It's a blue moon today. This means it's the second full moon within the same month. The last time we had a blue moon, it coincided with a landmark birthday of mine. Today it is happening on the day I put my exhibition up. An auspicious sign? ;)

It's done, they're all hung at last. :)

It's a nice feeling when all the hard work is over. The two photos above are of my own paintings and below you can see

Jenny's paintings.
We have very different styles but we do share the same idea of the paintings evolving from layers, hence the name of the exhibition, 'Hidden Layers'!


I can relax a bit now and wistfully remember the summer that's passing. I spent quite a bit of it near the sea, I like to be by the sea!









The evening draws in

and a late summer's day comes to a close. :)

Good luck, Jessie! The paintings look so beautiful, hung in that space! I hope you'll find a lot of admirers!...
Oh, the summer! It's nice when you say "good-bye" to it with a smile!
The photos reveal marvellous sights!

The blue moon in fact is not "blue", isn't it? I've missed the previous one, so I'm eager to see it tonight,too!xx

More Cottages During Lockdown and a Change in Medium.

I've been thinking about why I'm drawing cottages lately.  Maybe it's because there aren't many people around where we live and on our daily walks we rarely come across anyone else which I suppose is a good thing as we're still in Lockdown and have to practice Social Distancing which has now become a very well used phrase in our language! Maybe it's this lack of seeing people around that my mind is turning towards houses and flowers? The ones above are done in ink. I love the pearlescent inks, they're so beautiful when they catch the light. The paintings above and below are painted in acrylic. I've been obsessed with watercolour for a few weeks but I felt I'd like to get some acrylics out again. I've always been like this, going through phases of being obsessed with a particular medium thinking yes this is it! This is my final medium and then finding myself being drawn to changing once again to a different way of wor...
