2025 in Perth….. ice and more portraits

It was icy on the pavements today. On my way to catch the bus I was very careful. My shoes have the best soles to cope with slippy roads, but I never used to think about falling and breaking anything. Embarrassment would have been the worst outcome then. However I’m home in one piece.

Snow on the mountains  …and black ice on the pavements

This morning I watched the video sent from the clinic where I’m getting my eyes done. “Naturally ” I assumed it would be gory and scary. It wasn’t at all.

I’ve decided to add ” relaxed” to this year’s motto. That would then be ” Just do it, ( breathe out) relaxed!”

I’m wondering about learning to hypnotise myself.

Other than lunch out, I have been reorganising my room a little so that I don’t have to fold my table up .  I’ve ordered some fablon which looks like wood to make it fit in better. ( I considered painting a wood effect and then varnishing it….but decided it might be too messy.)

Then I found some more portraits which I had to screen shot as they wouldn’t  download.

I was pleased with this as baby skin is not easy to paint.
I think I used 2 photos in this.
Work in progress. Great expression
Just loved this
Worked well on this unpainted background.
Pencil drawing of a friend
Contrasting expressions
No idea who this was.

This week I plan to start a 28 day  Tai Chi course. ( We’ll see how that goes!) Then I’d like to get some painting done, as well as draw some things in my sketch book.

Now it’s wine and Sunday vlog time.

Cheers🍷🍷
