Ahoy!

Hello there.... I hope you are all doing well and not too hot?
It's pleasant here at the moment and we've had a little rain too.
 
Last week it was far too hot and I stayed indoors and created the two cards I'm sharing today. First up
Ahoy!
 

I couldn't think of anything more soothing than being on the cool water - This guy has the right idea


He's supposed to be fishing whilst his wife spends time at the beach but the rocking has sent him to sleep
No worries, she's keeping an eye on him


... And stayin' cool paddling in the water


I had fun doing these... If I can't be by the sea, I bring the sea to me and I'm sharing with 
who have a fun 'The Ocean is calling and I must go" challenge
 
 
DH is back from his travels and enjoyed catching up with his family in Devon - I'm still keeping up with my exercise classes (in spite of the heat) and I'm still sketching.

Thanks so much for your visit, stay well and have a lovely day

Oh, such a fun beautiful card with the boat scene!! I would love to be rocking to sleep on the sea somewhere, too!! He’s certainly enjoying himself! And, she is having fun with her feet in the water! Lovely sweet cards, Ros...well done!!

What a fun way to keep cool, Ros! Adorable cards, my friend!

Pat said...

Two beautiful watercoloured cards Ros and love the little atories you weave around them with the seafaring duck and his adorable wife paddling in the sea hoping to be presented with some lovely fish on his return...well, maybe not..lol. Glad your DH enjoyed his family visit and got back safely. x

Oh my friend these are awesome and I ALWAYS love hearing the story behind them!! He sure looks pretty relaxed in that boat ... good thing the Mrs. is keepin' an eye on him! LOL
Things are good here in Ohio, USA. We've been working on a big outside project the past couple of months and happy to report it is 99.5% completed! The weather is to be PERFECT the next several days so we should be able to reach that 100% goal by early August.
Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Sisterhood of Crafters challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.

Loll said...

Oh my gosh ... I love your cards and the story that goes with them! :) Ros, you must have so much fun creating these. You've started my day with a big smile, thanks for that! Love, Loll

Barbara said...

Awwww... these cards melt my heart! More from the goose series! Good to hear that you are back doing your exercises - we had been permitted since January or so (with a very limited number of participants)... on a break now because the place was flooded. By far not in the worst part of it all and I hope to continue this first week in August.

Pauline said...

I thoroughly enjoy your storing telling. Wonderful painted imagery to go along with your story. Loving these characters, they make me smile. Good for you for continuing your exercise classes. It's been much cooler mid 70's the last few days and up until Wed, then the heat comes back with temps over 100 again. As much as I don't want to rush the summer away, I look forward to the cooler sunny days of fall. Have a wonderful day & sorry for being so late to comment.

Sorry to be so late visiting, but finally I'm here. Adorable paintings & I agree--best place to be with this heat is on the water! Luckily, we have AC since we no longer go to the lake. Can't wait until Fall arrives!
