[Ern007 in reply to sassy59]

Thank you Carole -I first saw this from an Artist called Sky, different but same subject. Wanted to do this for a while. Xxx

[sassy59 in reply to Ern007]

I’m glad you did. Xxx👍

[Ern007 in reply to sassy59]

Thank you - I have done this, at sone stage I probably will do Monets Poppy Field xxx

[HungryHufflepuff]

I love the vibrant colours, it makes me feel like I can feel the warmth of the sun ☀️ Thank you for sharing

[Ern007 in reply to HungryHufflepuff]

Thank you Wendy. xx

[watergazer]

Very striking Ern. X

[Ern007 in reply to watergazer]

Thank you watergazer

[Alberta56]

That's so vibrant- really intense colour. A bonus for me is that it reminds me of my old alma mater, Birmingham University, where there was a replica of the great Venetian tower. Don't think Birmingham would look so picturesque surrounded by water.😂 xxx

[Ern007 in reply to Alberta56]

Thank you Chris - Colours are more vibrent in med countries. xx

[Alberta56 in reply to Ern007]

Definitely. I don't think the Industrial revolution has helped the look of our cities. Wouldn't it be nice to sail to Venice, especially on a wet afternoon like this one. I'll take another peep at your picture to console me until someone with a yacht or a magic carpet whisks me away.

[Ern007 in reply to Alberta56]

No, soot never improved anything - Yes it would be nice to sail to Venice. wonderful city. All that area up to and including Turkey really is good..x

[Dottie11 in reply to Alberta56]

I always think how much easier the med diet is to eat in these places. xx

[Alberta56 in reply to Dottie11]

Isn't it. Tesco doesn't have the same vibe somehow.

[Dottie11 in reply to Alberta56]

I agree. x

[Mavary]

oh yes I can see what you mean. I’ve sailed up through Venice a couple of times. It’s a beautiful City.

[Ern007 in reply to Mavary]

Thank you Mavary

😍😍

[Dottie11]

Oh that has warmed me up. Feeling very cold today and these colours are just the tonic I need. Would be very nice to get to such a place to visit but hey ho. Travel from my TV. xx

[Ern007 in reply to Dottie11]

Thank you Dottie11 -Would be very nice,until 5 years agoI used tot ravel. I liked the warmth - two years agoI booded IOM and was shocked when my GP. advised me not to go. I could understand Greece,Turky but not the IOM. I like a Plce in the Sun on TV.I like the different destinations. xx

[Dottie11 in reply to Ern007]

That is harsh not even IOM. Yes my last flight was 2009. I have Rynauds so always cold and hands and feet blue. Still in gloves and scarf. xx

[Ern007 in reply to Dottie11]

It's is harsh, she said I would be better on on UK mainland, when she advised that, I would not have got insurance.

I have not got " Rynauds " and my hands dont go blue, but I always feel cold due to circulation unless it's very warm. I have a sweater on now typing. I use a scarf but can't use gloves, in particular wool, sounds silly but touching wool makes my teeth chatter, Leathr glovers are not warm . Mylast flight was 5 years ago when we went to Greece.

[Dottie11 in reply to Ern007]

I adore Greece and their food. Been to a few places. Cyprus too. My last trip was Cornwall only a few days but lovely. Sea air and fish wonderful.xx

[Ern007 in reply to Dottie11]

I like Greece, Zante I liked but not Corfu, was to humid. Last year I ended up in Blackpool although our hotel was a 5 mile tram ride away. It was a change. xx

[Dottie11 in reply to Ern007]

Yes I feel the same about Corfu. I went to Kos decades ago and in a quite area very good. Rhodes was ok too. Been to Blackpool three times in my youth - a long time ago. A fan of the fairground back then. Pepsi Max I believe. xx

[Dottie11 in reply to Ern007]

I have three layers most days. Wool im ok with. I used to know a rather beautiful and naughty Siamese cat who loved wool, ate holes in everything. xx

[Ern007 in reply to Dottie11]

I wear a lot in winter and spring. my feet are cold no matter the season. Yes our cats like wool or wool like and put it down, they will be asleep on it. xx

[Dottie11 in reply to Ern007]

I have sheepskin slipper boots that are very warm. But I have had a hot water bottle for my feet every night since a child. Those cats have the right idea. Cannot beat a snuggle with a cat either. xx

[Ern007 in reply to Dottie11]

I have given up warming my feet, am sure there is no blood there lol. Cats are also fun, we have a He and a She and both so different, The she sits with me and the Tom, will Anne, who is always telling me off for giving them Dreamies. xx

[Dottie11 in reply to Ern007]

We were the other way around. The He sat on my husband's lap and the She on mine. Both sadly no longer with us. xx

[Ern007 in reply to Dottie11]

Sorry about that, before we got this Tom, we had a cat same colour, he went missingand came back about a week later, he was in a lot of pain. he had dragged hilself home with a Borken Pelvis. really was a good cat. he unfortunately died four years ago. xx

[Dottie11 in reply to Ern007]

Oh that is so horrible for him and you both. We were able to say goodbye and take them from their pain when they came to older age. We have owned many cats and now just feed a few of the neighbours when they go away. Many also visit our garden. So plenty of feline life around us. Take care Ern. Hubby plating up my tea. xx

[Alberta56 in reply to Dottie11]

I liked reading about your and Ern's cats. Sometimes wonder about getting another cat, but not sure I could cope with cat and family.

[Dottie11 in reply to Alberta56]

Same here. But really miss them.x

[Nula2]

Lovely painting Ern. Very peaceful scene😊❤️xxx

[Ern007 in reply to Nula2]

Thank you Nula2 - I did struggle a bit wiith this one. so I adapted.xxx

[Nula2 in reply to Ern007]

In my ignorance I haven't seen Monets original😱 so I'm looking at it with fresh eyes😊xxxx

[Ern007 in reply to Germantara]

Thank you Germantara,.

[BronchyBronwen]

Wow! Just fabulous, Ern. Brilliant use of colour (no pun intended) contrasted with the dark shapes give a wonderful air of mystery and evocative atmosphere. I love this. Really well done, and thank you so much. 👍❤️xxx😃

[Ern007]

Thank you BronchyBronwen. I like Silhouette images, I tried something different here though, xxx

[Mopsey1897]
