For Friends

Hi! How are you doing?

Well we've had the most beautiful weather lately but don't get too jealous... It's not going to last.
It takes the gloom out of everything though - Our Prime Minister has tested positive for the virus, along with Prince Charles whilst we alas, have no testing available, so we have to just hope and enjoy the sunshine whilst we can

I've already sent some of my painted cards to friends - DH wanted me to frame them all but it seems stupid to keep them all especially now - Here are 3 more which have also been sent to friends



Honestly I don't know what I like doing best... Painting or doodling 



I know one thing... I can churn these out much quicker than ordinary cards 




You all know I lost my best friend last October... Amongst her many talents, was a brilliant artist and sculptor. Today would have been her birthday and I can't help but think how much she would have loved that I am attempting to paint albeit in my own way and my own style... 

Stay well my friends...

Although the weather has been gloomy here the past few days and coming weekend, blessing us with rain, your cards today are an absolute ray of sunshine in my world. Ros, hubby is right you should frame a few, as these are stunning pieces of art. I know your best friend would of been so happy to see you venture to this 'artistry' side of you! You have it Ros! Your friends going to be thrilled beyond words to receive such a card. Thanks for making my day. Stay healthy and stay creative! Hugs, (ps, the last card is my favourite, so hard to pick as they are all fabulous!)

They are all so bright and colorful and I can see why your hubby wants to frame them!! And I'm sure your friend is smiling down on you every time you get out your paints! Lovely, lovely cards my friend!! :0)

Absolutely stunning cards, I love each and every card you have done and these are no exception and I agree with the hubby, they all need to be framed!! No sun today, but we had a nice day on Wednesday and I worked in my flower beds as long as my old body would let me lol...but somehow I managed to get in poison ivy, but I will take it over the virus!! We are to get severe weather tomorrow night....take care my friend...stay safe!

Wonder cards again and you are so creative. I love your water colouring style and the doodling....You just keep them coming, they are fabulous x.

Wonderful cards - again! You have unearthed a real talent there!
On another note: why would you want to be tested? Do you show symptoms? (I hope not!)

Greta said...

Oh yes--she would have loved seeing your paintings, Ros. Bet it makes you feel close to her. I truly am in awe! I was so excited to find stamping since I can't draw or doodle! I hope you did frame some of your favorites--hubby was right!

Marina said...

I've looked at all the fabulous paintings you've posted lately on your blog and I'm almost lost for words at how beautiful they are.Keep safe.

Another gallery of gorgeousness! I'm betting your friends are going to be so thrilled to receive one of your little masterpieces to frame! I'll bet your best friend has even chosen a favorite for her room in Heaven!

These are all OMG GORGEOUS Ros! You are very talented my dear and your friend would have been (is) SO proud of you! Surely you can hear her telling you 'well done my friend' as you finish each piece of art. We here in the states have heard about the Prince and Prime Minister and pray you don't get hit too hard. It's being said that the USA has the highest numbers and the virus hasn't even peaked here yet ... ugh ... so scary! Trying our best to just stay home and keep a positive attitude. Please be safe & healthy my friend and I will do the same! Thanks for inspiration ... I can use it right now!!

Bonnie said...

Love this mix of colors, Ros! Your flowers are gorgeous and you inspire me to try my hand at it. I'll bet your friend is smiling down at you and happy she inspired you to share such beauty!

Jan said...

Your friend would love these....as you can see everyone else does too!!!! Blessings and TFS - so encouraging!
Paper Hugs,
Jan

Thank you so much for sharing, my friend. They sure brightened my day and all your friends. I can't wait to see more. Stay safe and keep on painting!! Love and Hugs...Nancy

Leslie Miller said...

The friends you send them to will probably frame them. How could you not frame these little pieces of art? You're spreading beauty and love all over. These are simply incredible, Ros!

Maria said...

Oh, I hope hubby got you to frame at least one of the hand painted beauties! They are all very gorgeous! I’m sure your friend would think all your paintings are fabulous! She’s right there with you in spirit! Keep on painting on, Ros, you certainly have quite a talent! And, thank you so much for the inspiration and sharing your beauties with us! Take good care, hugs!!
