It's Been Awhile...

 ...A long while

Hello there, I hope this finds you well?

Life for me has changed a lot over the last few years and I guess for some of you too but I continue to do the things I love and the things that make me happy. Sadly both my sewing machines broke down and I had to buy another one to keep me going until I am able to get to a repair shop because I love to sew...
Recently my husband had his driving licence revoked due to him having glaucoma despite his consultant and 2 independent opthamologists saying he was perfectly fit to drive. It is like taking his legs away - so after many years I have had to start driving again and believe me I am finding it nerve wracking.
 
I can honestly say that life is anything but quiet in this household, the universe continues to visit us with challenges. It all got too much for my husband and one morning he collapsed and fell down the stairs...He was incredibly lucky not to have done some serious damage and spent a day in hospital with only cuts and bruises but boy it gave me such a fright. 
 
Anyway, today I have some happy paintings to share - meet the beach babes
 

 
 



 

of course not all beach days are warm, sometimes it's blowing a gale on a coastal walk

and I did a double page in my tiny art book


 

I don't know why it is that I prefer to do paintings that involve the sea but I'm always led there and...in a couple of weeks we will be taking a 7 day cruise from my home town to France. We are so looking forward to it, the rest, the sea air and not having to do anything but enjoy...


I hope you enjoyed seeing these, wishing you a beautiful day

  1. Hi Ros..Lovely to see your talent again...these are so lovely, and like you I love scenes involving the sea. Yes life has changed in the past few years but we must make the most of it i guess. Sorry to hear about hubby, I would dread having my licence revoked as it take away your independence, but they seem to be hell bent in getting us oldies off the road!! Enjoy your cruise.
    Love and hugs

  2. Hi Ros, your little paintings are a delight. I am very glad to hear that you are still painting and sewing despite the challenges. I wish you a very happy and restful holiday xx

  3. Wonderful to see some more of your brilliant watercolours Ros, and I love your sweet little added figures and your seascapes are always divine! Sorry to hear that your husband has had to stop driving..I feel these days it's any excuse to get older drivers off the road which is totally unfair, and the DVLA should have taken the word of the experts, and glad that his fall didn't leave him with any problems. I know going back to driving can be stressful, but hopefully you will begin to feel easier behind the wheel. The cruise sounds wonderful and I'm sure you will have a super time. x
