Read that it is Petula Clark's 93rd birthday today. When I was little, I really liked her son "Downtown" and listening to it now brings back spring days when I was in elementary school, when the world held so much potential. #MusicSky #songs #1960's

The cover collage from the 11 books I read in Oct. includes 2 from favorite series; one by Julie Mulhern and one from the excellent Medieval mystery series by @candacerobb set in 1300's York. Also Josephine Baker's vignette 1949 memoir. #BookSky💙📚 #Storygraph #reading #mysteries

What a splendid poem!
On this eve of fifty Novembers
the winds still howl
the bell still tolls.
My breath turns heavy
as we drift into the long cold night.
The Fitzgerald stirs beneath.
I harbor their echoes
and cradle her steel.
My waves bear the sorrow
of all I have taken.
the winds still howl
the bell still tolls.
My breath turns heavy
as we drift into the long cold night.
The Fitzgerald stirs beneath.
I harbor their echoes
and cradle her steel.
My waves bear the sorrow
of all I have taken.

I like this & it creates all sorts of stories in my head. Everyone is beautifully done, of course, especially the dino. It has a wonderful storybook vibe, which is very appealing.

It is well worth all the time it takes to produce such luminous results.
Glazing in watercolour is time-consuming. Though that's perhaps a redundant explanation, given that everything is time-consuming when I attempt it. 😮💨🙁😑

Whoah, this is a battle! My money is on the rooster, simply for size & ferocity. I know stoats are sleek predators, but that rooster has all claws on deck. I like how the curving ground emphasizes the intimacy of the fight & echoes the swirling action. Full of drama & uncertainty.

Ink and gouache on Fabriano Medioevalis, approximately 132 × 85 mm.

For #Caturday I'm posting a wild cat, this clouded leopard that I painted in acrylic some years ago. Got too carried away with the fog, but there's a whole jungle scene in the background, along with some Amboina King Parakeets flying by. #CatSky #Cats #ArtSky #nature #wildlife

For #LetterboxdFriday here are my #LastFourWatched "The Believer" has Ryan Gosling as a Jewish man who becomes a Nazi & is veering back to his heritage at the same time. Pierce Brosnan is dreamy in "I Don't Know...". Tar was somewhat disappointing, especially the first 40 minutes. #FilmSky #Movies

Really like the mood of this one. The colors and the lighting create such an early summer atmosphere, just lovely.

So ironic when I, a teetotaler, get an alcohol question right on Jeopardy. Tonight's Final Jeopardy question was one, and none of the TV people got it(Wild Turkey). My bird brain came in handy. #Jeopardy

Really like how the curves are echoed all over the drawing, the peacock's neck, the tail, the branches & limbs. It makes it very harmonious & creates a pleasing way for the eye to travel across the picture. Birds!🦉
Blue peafowl.
Ink on Fabriano Medioevalis, approximately 85 × 133 mm.
Not so happy with this as I'd hoped to be. A combination of tiredness and my not managing the ink consistency well enough, resulting in quite a few areas of unsightly patchiness.

What a great photo of her. Such sad news, she was an admirable lady & a constant presence on my Tv when I was growing up.

That is a happy looking jack o'lantern. And the hen looks like they are having a conversation with them. Lots of humor in this one.
