Sunny Monday Morning!
It's a warm and sunny morning today!
People say it's us British that obsess about the weather but I've noticed a lot of others from around the world on their blogs wishing for Spring to start and to get some long awaited sunshine. ;)
Look we have proper shadows!
The view of the sky from outside my back door - deep blue!
I hope it stays this time, don't you?
Now the sun's out I have projects afoot that I'd like to start, like this old food store that's been lurking at the back of the garage for many many years. I don't know who it belonged to or when it was last used but it looks in need of rescuing at last before the wood beetles make it into a nice meal. Not sure what to do with it but a good clean is the first thing.
The painting I'm working on is coming along, I'm deciding on doing more to the background. (Here's a snippet above.)
I'm going to use masking fluid for the first time on canvas. I've used it before on paper so I hope it comes away afterwards and doesn't want to remain as part of the painting. Any tips from people that have done this before would be very welcome!

That store looks like it could be fun storage if it was Jess-i-fied !
I hope this Spring week brings you lots of creative juices !
I can't wait to see what you do with that little cabinet, it's so sweet!!
We have a gray morning here in So. California....and you know, I'm loving it! It's just been too hot for Spring around here! Wish I could send some your way :)
I've never tried masking fluid on canvas....but even if it stays, it makes a cool relief pattern!
Hmmm, refreshed and maybe coloured this food store may contain so many things! It will "tell" you what to do...
Have a lovely, sunny week, Jessie!:)
We had a lovely day of sun Monday but the clouds have taken over now.:)
Thanks Deborah!
Thanks Rossichka, you too. :)
The masking? It was brilliantly! I remembered how you said you loved the moment when you could peel it off and all I could think of was how it would take me hours and would probably ruin the surface of the canvas but it didn't! It came off so easily, more easily than paper so I sahll definitely be using it again!x
But the sun does give us all such a high, I love the light, I also love your cupboard, isn't it wonderful to have a project just waiting to be started and something new to put in the house for Spring.
Your work is so pretty, wonderful colours.
Hugs Lynn xx
