Feeling blue because today I had to say goodbye to my beloved ancient Vitara - had it for 15 years, best car I've owned...but it failed it's MOT spectacularly and would cost a fortune to repair.😞

On a side note, why are his top lip and chin a different colour to the rest of his face?

A spaniel painted in acrylics with her ears blowing beautifully back in the wind.

Hot off the easel - 'Millie', acrylic on canvas, private commission. This was a joy to paint - those ears!
I'm now free for commission once again...

This used to be a Royal Engineers camp where they practiced building bridges etc. and then did exercises in how to blow them up. Just had a long explanation from my partner who is a local!

Yesterday was so nice - two lovely dry dog walks and sun streaming through the windows. Back to normal this morning...wet, mud, misery...🐩☔😞

I often wonder, if the internet didn't exist, would these same people take the time to harangue someone they didn't agree with in the street? I know there have always been nutters amongst us, but giving them a keyboard seems to bring 'em out in droves...

Haha, none of our neighbours have gardens, just concrete and astroturf - we're the only ones with greenery. That's why all the cats poop in the front and we get masses of birds in the back!

We'd had a bottle of wine between us so we thought we wouldn't be staying awake for any more episodes! Had to laugh at his front garden being criticized, I thought it looked lovely!

And you thought you were going to watch some Olympics? Haha, no, here's the ubiquitous Clare Balding doing lots of talking! 😡

I don't always paint animals - here's a rusty shack we discovered on a hike in the Isle of Wight as few years ago. For some reason I love painting rust...

Finally had a chance to tidy up the garden without getting soaked - look what I found!

Not sure what my life has come to when I make waffles for breakfast and have to make a little extra one for the dog...

Then you're a fool - he's got his trinket, so he has no further use for you.

A better photograph of my latest painting - Biggie, acrylics on canvas. Will be in my Etsy shop soon...unless you'd like to snap it up now!

Hot off the easel - "Biggie" , acrylics on canvas. Terrible photo due to lack of daylight and paint reflecting the daylight lamp. I'll try and get a better picture tomorrow - if it ever stops raining...
