It’s that time of year again. That one where, if I’m not careful, I’ll depress myself with thoughts of advancing years. However, I have a lot to be thankful for (pressies, for a start) so I should be positive and look at the good things like June, family, friends and a job I enjoy doing. [...]

Two Portraits

First, I created a quick self-portrait to continue my experiments with the style and technique… … then I followed it with a quick portrait of June to further the experimentation.

Based on photos of Caitlin, Leilani and Selene, I painted some portraits of them on the computer using Artrage. I present them here for those who may be interested.
Selene came to visit

My youngest granddaughter came to visit today, with her parents of course. It was great to see them and to have a most enjoyable lunch with them at one of the nearby pubs. As the rules dictate, I took a gratuitous picture or ten and here’s one I thought I’d share.
Today I saw my new Granddaughter

Selene Artemis is my youngest granddaughter (of three) and I saw her in person for the first time today. It’s always good seeing family, but seeing a new member is always a little extra special. With three beautiful granddaughters it shows that every now and then there is some good in the world.

A quick picture I did based on a photo Jason took.
A third granddaughter

It’s eleven thirty at night and I’ve just spoken to my son, Jason, on the phone. His wife, Suzanne, has just given birth to their first child, a daughter called Selene, whose name I hope I’ve spelled correctly. Needless to say, I’m very happy that the baby and mother are both doing well. No doubt [...]
A Day Out

I’m in a bus that’s rattling along like crazy travelling to Hull for a few drinks with my Dad and two of my sons. Surprisingly, I’m managing to type on my iPad but with difficulty – not from the vibration but the lack of elbow room. I downloaded the i paper before I left and [...]
A Quiet Day

Today I had a little lie-in, which was pretty cool. However I don’t like to spend too long in bed or I feel as if I’m wasting my own time. Besides, I need to put out seeds for the birds and squirrels in this cold weather, even though it’s been slightly milder today. I seem [...]
Christmas Day

It’s been a long day so far – visiting family, fetching my dad back here, cooking the Christmas dinner and then taking him home again in the freezing cold. It was great to see everyone, particularly Caitlin and Leilani, my granddaughters. I think both of them were way too spoilt, but it was a delight [...]
