EACH ROOM OF THE HOUSE

I have decided to paint something from each room in the house, just something simple and just for a change.
So in effect, I have challenged myself!  So obviously I have made it not too challenging, so no flowers, no boats, no buildings, no portraits - Hooray. I am very kind to myself ..............


Living Room - My poor old hands get very dry, so I always have some hand cream nearby.  This one is pro age.  I haven't noticed my hands turning younger yet.  Should I sue the company?


Dining Room - Not knives, forks etc as you would imagine but a candle. A friend of mine bought me this lovely National Trust Candle.  It smells so lovely that I don't want to burn it yet.  What a lovely thought it was too.  Can you smell it?

Hope you had a lovely weekend.  Today we had sun and it was warm. Extraordinary.  Had to grab this day with both hands as it may be the only summer day we get!

  7. i like this idea of painting something from each room. The crumbled look of the hand cream tube looks super and I love the candle. Since I missed so much when I was in Ireland it is good to look back at what you did while I was gone. I see you had a holiday too...and then I got down to your yummy English breakfast which looks like what we were eating in Ireland. Nice job!
