After lunch I had an unsuccessful trawl round looking for white leggings. I had previously trawled various internet sites who appear to think white is for summer so tough. None in stock. I ended up with some white cropped trousers, so at least I got the colour and cover for the chicken legs under the new tunics.
White cropped trousers to go with this till I can find leggings. (Cropped trousers on me become as per normal trouser length.)
Black leggings will have to do with this tunic.
I then went to the Prom/Esplanade.
Pleased - being selfish- we are returning to the deserted beach. Although, out of sight, on the left was a gaggle of screaming kids so no Sea Birds at the end of the Kessock Burn.
When I saw this fishing boat with my eyes I thought it was green and immediately thought of the Owl and the Pussycat went to see in a beautiful Pea Green Boat....But its actually more a blue. Anway its off 'oot on the hunt.'
It being Sunday there were a fair few surfers out. This one continually went the wrong way and never did catch the wave.
Just as I was back at the car I heard the calls of the Oyster Catchers and watched them land and managed a photograph. When I got home and put it on the computer there was a Redshank as well.
A fellow artist commented on my latest paintings on my facebook page, Buchan Birds and Beasts. She said she would love to see what I did with a self portrait. Now this is something I have never done, but not being one to ignore a challenge, I took it on.
This is my first go. I have to say I did not enjoy looking at myself in a large mirror and seeing all the wrinkles and saggy chins. But then I lost myself and enjoyed the exercise.
What larks!
That is an amazing self portrait !!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love the top tunic. Any chance of pictures when you wear it?
ReplyDeleteI hope you find the white leggings you want and in the meantime enjoy the white cropped trousers. I like your self portrait, the hair especially.
ReplyDeleteYes, an amazing self-portrait, but you look prettier than that! Really! Yes, REALLY!
ReplyDeleteYes, that is an amazing self-portrait, but you are much prettier than that. Really! Yes, REALLY!
ReplyDeleteI love both those tunic tops, I'd love them. Perhaps you could wear navy leggings if only you could find some. What a shame leggings don't seem to come in more colours! They are so comfy to wear under tunic tops, aren't they?

Red hair now?
ReplyDeleteI tried comparing your painting of yourself with your photograph on your blog page. Not a good likeness I would have said. You are much more attractive than that.
ReplyDeleteNice tunics, lovely photos. It is good to find relaxing activities like painting. I am utterly hopeless so your portrait is far better than anything I would do. I like to make cards and to write. Horses for courses!
