Influenced by Art……..
This period of lock down seems to have opened up the doors for Arts & Crafts on TV. One particular show, The Joy of Painting, dates back to the 1980s and an artist no longer with us by the name of Bob Ross. Within 30…
Locked down……..
Todays image is a personal one. It has resonance because of today’s Covid situation but also because of historical struggles with mental health………..or everyday life. Hopefully we are all in a better place. Take care, stay safe.
One for sorrow……….

More besties…….
Just an excuse to say ‘dreich’ again here. Just happened to be looking outside my front door and this poor plant/weed was battling with a heavy downpour, so my shutter took pity on it and recorded for posterity! A little help from Google images magnified…
