Hello friends

Hope you’re all ok and bearing up in this heatwave, I’m finding it impossible to do anything in this heat and I’m fighting fatigue and losing.., so here’s a quick attempt to do something creative today in abstract watercolour of my blooming Delphiniums, on my balcony.

Honey, I’m the same as you. Even harder as I live in the same space. Trying to cope by painting reading and keeping/ owning the space in my head ❤️

That's beautiful Dalia74, beautifully captured, and such delicate colouring. I agree that it's just too hot to do anything and I don't think you should fight the feeling. Luckily in this country, heatwaves are relatively short, so we'll be able to follow our favourite pursuits again quite soon, hopefully. Take care till then. 🙏😎

Beautiful I really like your painting. Was it you that did the rabbit hidden in the flowers on a birthday card? It was loose watercolour? Ali

Your Delphinium picture is beautiful. I love flowers, gardening , & landscaping. They look so real.

You should keep doing your art & posting them here for all to see.

It cheered me up.

Thanks Dalia74

I have grown some as well, unfortunately the slugs love them !

Dalia74 in reply to tiachibird

Oh dear! I didn’t know that- although it’ll be a far way for slugs to travel as I’m up on the fourth floor of flats. But you never know with slugs! You you manage to save the delphiniums 😘❤️🌈

Yes I gave up because of the slugs.

Reminds me of a poem by A.A. Milne... geraniums red, delphiniums blue. A poem I last read to my mom. Lovely painting.

I love that Poem from A.A Milne... funny, I did think of it as I was painting actually. 💕

Lovely flowers , I have a lovely bush in my garden laden with flowers to spite the dry weather, can't recall its name though. But it brightens up the day when I sit having my breakfast. My pastime in this heat is jigsaws latest one is a village scene with children paddling in the brook. Have a nice day.

Dalia74 in reply to katieoxo60

That sounds lovely- what a lovely see you see everyday having breakfast I absolutely adore plants and flowers. Don’t have a garden though. That jigsaw sounds complex it must keep your mind absorbed. You should post it when you’re finished- would love to see it. 🌈🌸

katieoxo60 in reply to Dalia74

Good morning Dalia74, I have taken a photo of my jigsaw on my phone but don't seem to be able to move it to my PC site. Never was very good on the camera bit of digitalisation. But I will keep trying. This rain will do my bush wonders and save me a job watering. Bye for now.

I had reply disappear this morning, and someone else had their post removed . Not to worry I am sure things will get back to normal soon and I may get my photo onto the site eventually. Bye for now x

Very nice, have you tried wetting the paper then applying the paint, it makes a nice affect.

Dalia74 profile image
Dalia74 in reply to AndtH

Thanks . Yes I did that in some areas.. it’s a loose watercolour.

Thats a lovely painting, well done.

It was terrible for me yesterday as pollen count so high so I stayed in and made some cards.

Dalia74 profile image
Dalia74 in reply to Craftyperson

Oh no... hay fever is awful, I’ve started to suffer from it this year.. glad you still managed to get creative. What kind of cards do you make? 🌸😘

Craftyperson profile image
CraftypersonReading Rabbits in reply to Dalia74

It's terrible especially now I have asthma too.

I make all sorts of cards, embossed, die cut, shaped, parchment, stamped what ever takes my fancy.

Yes you are right , it is mainly this site yet they are all part of healthunlocked. Of course this site is not about a specific subject or health issue is it.? In fact a lot of it is about none health issues during corona virus outbreak. That might explain posts going missing due to none health issues being discussed who knows.

This site is showing my disability at the top of posts which is not site correct etiquette either for healthunlocked. Strange goings on.
