A Posy with Love ~ Happy PPF ~

Hello !

Love is certainly all around, so here's my little contribution for Paint Party Friday:
"A Posy With Love"
Acrylic on canvas board
Its one of a number of paintings I took in to our local Art and Information Centre today to be for sale, so I've been varnishing, labelling and (drying ... well, waiting for them to dry lol) over the past few weeks. 
I feel really happy for my art to have been included with other local art and craft folk in our town.

Its also so nice to join other artists online over at Paint Party Friday.  Here's a link if you'd care to join us: 

I'd also love to catch up with any Blog-friends who are on Instagram.  Its fun to find each other and realise we know each other from Blogger-Land.  Here's my Instagram link   Cheerio for now xx

      Thank you very much Jan, so lovely of you to say. I really love painting flowers (oh, er, I may have mentioned that a few times in the past ha ha, but they make me feel happy when doing them).
      Our town really supports arts and crafts and, yes, it is great to be a part of that xx

      I am afraid that my emotions got out of hand again.
      I realize that I have been on a roller coaster of ups and downs but I keep trying to find the exit and get my feet back on solid ground :)
      Thank you for being so understanding and kind 🌹❤🌹

      aw Debbie, thank you very much. Yes, I enjoy using those colours.

      Oh, things don't work as fast as that but I love your enthusiasm xx :D)
      I finished 11 paintings and left them there, they will put out a few at a time hanging alongside other art and crafters' work. That's how its been working with my cards too, some sales now and then.
      Its mostly tourists, or people passing through town, who, if they stop for a break, might come into the Art & Information Centre. Its a chance thing and the area is only just opening up again now that the fires have abated and the roads are open. Things roll along nice and slowly in our country towns - I like that, no pressure, just the feeling that I can paint to please myself and then, when they're finished, if I haven't used them for loved ones, there's a place they can go!

      "things roll along nice and slowly in our country towns - I like that," i would like that too. my town is all about the hustle and bustle...i don't love that, or all of the traffic. my little square, an acre on the water, on a small cul-de-sac works well for me. it's quiet here and one of the reasons i love being at home!!

      Thanks Debbie, I appreciate the peace and quiet that we have once more in our town.

      I understand exactly what you're saying - your spot in the world sounds lovely... nothing like feeling at home and being lucky enough to be where we're happy and contented xx
