ANIMALS FOR OPUS GLUEI, AND TAKING A BREAK

- Jez

This reluctant lady was created some time ago, the cow collaged on to the pre-painted acrylic background and altered.  She is my entry for the current 'Animals' theme at Opus Gluei.

TAKING A BREAK

I've taken the easy route of using a past piece because I have decided that for the moment I feel it is necessary to take an enforced break, and my energy levels are close to nil.

My current health problems are not resolved yet, and there are more blood tests and X-rays to come this week.  Added to that, Dev is undergoing lots of tests for what looks as though it could also be something rather serious.

So I am hoping to come back to Blogging as soon as I can but until then I shall try to visit and comment when (a) I am awake and (b) things are a little better.

Until then, I want you to know how much blogging, visiting, commenting and most of all your lovely comments have meant to me and have kept me going through some difficult times.  I'll be thinking of you.

HOUSE - BLACK AND WHITE AND A POP COLOUR

I've managed one very simple, quick sketch which I am linking to three challenges - Opus Gluei and Art Journal Journey, and because I like black, white and red, I'm linking it as a second entry for So Artful.

NEW HOUSE FOR SALE

What would I want in a house that's new?

Some trees, a wide sky and space to roam.

But it's family, friends and a "Welcome to You"

That turns a house into a home.

KEEP THEIR SUNNYSIDE UP

It's springtime, and the challenge at Opus Gluei is EGGS, so it seems the right topic for a vintage song, with a few changes from the original lyrics:

KEEP THEIR SUNNYSIDE UP

Keep your sunnyside up, up,

Let your laughter come through, do.

If you think it's raining for you

Just remember others are blue

Keep your sunnyside up, up

Turn that frown to a smile.

Stand up on your legs,

Go and fry some eggs,

And keep THEIR sunnyside up.
