Folk Art - A Taste of Spring.

[Ern007]

Not been best of weeks for me, so I thought I would paint soemthink a bit Folky.

An old cottage and a miniture tree and a stream.

I decided again to go with a Spring theme as winter never seems to let up at all.

I haven’t had a good couple of weeks either, but your paintings always make things brighter for me.

[Ern007 in reply to helenlw7]

Thank you Helen - Hope your feeling better soon, I am at GP 4pm tomorrow. Been a long cold winter, hasn't it?

[helenlw7]

it has definitely been a long cold winter, and it’s not done yet. I’m off for my B12 injection tomorrow so hopefully I’ll have a bit more energy in a few days time.

[Ern007 in reply to helenlw7]

Hope your B12 jab works for you , end of March I get a course of Vit D - That seemsto have a good effect,

[helenlw7 in reply to Ern007]

I already take calcium with Vitamin D so hopefully that’s enough

Another lovely painting for us, Ern! Thank you so much. It's lovely! Especially like the brook running through this time and the clever, balanced composition. Adore the clouds too! A sunny morning here in London town although as I glance south west it's turning grey. But still sunny to the north! Hope GP appointment goes well today. Make the most of it! xxx👍👍🌺🌺🌺

[Mavary]

I’m looking forward to Spring and Summer. It will be nice not to feel cold.

[Ern007 in reply to Mavary]

You are right Mavery - fed up with the cold this winter, been very little sun either.

[Mavary in reply to Ern007]

What’s sun. I can’t remember. 😃.

How are you getting on with your eyes. I’m getting I don’t like driving in the winter on darker days. I don’t see the edges of the pavement.

[Ern007 in reply to Mavary]

What sun" indeed. Winter is a bad time to drive, just a little sun and lots of glare. Glare seems worst in winter, low sun in summer.

[Mavary in reply to Ern007]

That’s true. If the sun is low we’ve had it too. I don’t think we are going to win with our eyes.

[Ern007 in reply to Mavary]

We can't win with our eyes Mavery. You are spot on.

[Mavary in reply to Ern007]

I suppose we have to be thankful we can see at all.

[Ern007 in reply to Mavary]

Yea, my optition wats me to have a cateract seen to, I will but not yet.

[Mavary in reply to Ern007]

I’ve had both mine done but couldn’t see any better.

[Ern007 in reply to Mavary]

To be honest Mavery - I don't want mine doing yet,

[Mavary in reply to Ern007]

I can’t say I blame you.
