He took it!

Thank you all so much for your comments you left on my last blog post. I bet now I've mentioned this Vitamin D test they seem to routinely do, you'll be hearing more and more about it, would love to know if you do.
It wasn't I went to the Doctor cause I was feeling poorly, quite the opposite - was just the regular two yearly girly side of things check up, you know those ones we just avoid and put off. My doctor always does these routine blood tests, you know cholesterol, iron..... all things that can be fixed if the results aren't right, by diet, exercise, vitamin supplements or whatever, best to find out now and not wait till, say your bones are disintegrating, or you have a stroke cause your cholesterol is high etc. etc. - Geez don't I sound like doom and gloom!! - nah not at all!!

OK onto to other things now
I've been working on more Original Canvas paintings, you can click on each painting for details.

We did have a market today at Red Hill, I'm sorry I didn't get to go, well no not sorry for me, as it was lovely to get some orders and packing and posting done for the website, I also looked at a few garage sales on my way to the Post Office - as you do of course.

I obtained the wrought iron garden seat below - I loved it, put my lovely yellow themed Laura Ashley cushions on it ready to have a little bit of a read in the sunshine, which I'm meant to do cause I need my dose of Vitamin D - Tony came home and took it to take up to his Store and sell - boo hoo for me, but never mind cause really I didn't have the room to keep it!

Thanks for coming over to visit

Have a great weekend whatever you may be doing

Summer Days for the market

Thanks for your comments on my last post, doesn't it make you feel better to know you're not the only one feeling as if you're on a very fast Merry-Go-Round and can't get off. I've certainly made an effort, as much as I can, to make a little bit of time to re-charge my batteries and collect my thoughts.

I went to the Doctor for a routine check up and turned out I was Vitamin D deficient - which means I need to sit in the sun for about 15 to 20 minutes a day - sounds good to me, if and when the sun shows itself down here in Mt Martha - also need to eat more foods which contain vitamin D, but then again they may clash with me trying to watch my weight and cholesterol and the sun may clash with the fact I don't want extra wrinkly skin or sun cancer - blah blah blah....anyway sounds like the Vitamin D deficiency is quite a common thing here in Australia - I'd never had the test done before.

I have been enjoying working on some Beach Paintings over the last few days. We have a market on Saturday at Red Hill, you can click here for details and yes please we would love you to come and say "Hello" if you're in the area.

I've finished a few lovely little Beachy themed whimsical paintings, I thought it would be a bit of fun to list one on my website - why not? I used to paint really big versions a few years ago of these ones - love painting the little figures sitting under the umbrellas or swimming in the sea, families having picnics and lazing in the sun.... I bet they're not Vitamin D deficient.

These smaller originals on stretched canvas are very affordable, they don't need to be framed and come ready to hang, I've sourced some great quality gallery stretched canvas at a very reasonable price so can list this series at a very reasonable price.Just thought I'd take a photo of the larger sized original painting below, it is very large, really stunning in real life.


I find it very hard to photograph these long narrow landscape paintings - they tend to look a bit lost

This one will be available from our market on Saturday, it is too large to post

Thanks so much for coming over to visit

Have a great weekend (nearly weekend anyway)
