More Winter Flowers, in a vase, from a shop...

NOT I love you flowers, but Congratulations, Well Done on your first gig, I'm so proud of you flowers.....

New Winter Painting, finished..

 He's called The Fat Man, though it has nothing to do with Fat or Men, there's a backstory, one that ends with an affectionate nickname that has unfortunately stuck like glue.....

While on the easel, under construction, it took up so much room that I would occasionally move it to the corner of the spare room and at times, he would be used as a hat stand, for one of my many hats. While lurking in the darkest corner, behatted, he would sometimes look like a huge, perfectly concentric fat man, standing very still and almost creepy. After startling me and members of my family on more than one occasion, he earned the name, The Fat Man.
And though it is rich and textured and beautiful and deserving of a much more flattering name, it won't go away......

Picked what seemed to be a calm, sunny Saturday and headed to Ginnantonica East, where there are not so many houses. Four teenage helpers this time and and two dogwalking passersby to get it up......

Of course, the wind picked up shortly after erection..

                           Wind pulling and ballooning the tent caused tugging and strain on the center hole that happens to be cut out of one of the thinner duvet covers, causing it to give out  twice, collapsing the top of the structure down, needing one emergency strap-up job before it did it again, more insistently....Packdown and head home for further improvements and reinforcing...

        Fortunately, a few quick shots were also taken on mobile phone camera's before the ominous ripping noises began...
