It's Tuesday

 

The Azaleas are in Bloom

 

AND the Irises are Going to the Birds

 

AND the Baby Girl has a Show coming up. I'm so proud of her.

Here are a couple of her pieces. None of it is digital. Her show is called HOURS AND HOURS which looks like is what she put into it.😊

 

Tuesday

Happy Tuesday!

My daughter and SIL sent me a Belle remembrance.  The mason jar vase came with it.

AND...
My sister sent me these two guardian angel kitties for Captain and Sweet  Belle. Family. Where would we be without them.

The lawn needs mowed. One great thing about not hopping on that was it has given the violets a chance to bloom.

Look familiar? We didn't even bother to go down the TP aisle.

What about you, my blogger buds. Are you staying safe? Got enough paper and hand sanitizer?

AND... Question for the day.
The powers that be say you can't make your own sanitizer from booze because the proof isn't high enough.  I wonder if that applies to White Lightning. Heh. THOUGH, I  did see it could be made with rubbing alcohol and aloe. Lots of differing opinions out there.

AND...Some new portraits from my daughter. I'm just so darn proud of her. If interested in seeing any of her other paintings, you can find her at meghancox.net.

Finally! It's official. I can share the news, though I was asked not to make a big deal of it. So here is me not making a big deal of it.
2667 artists from 88 countries entered the 2018 BP Portraits Award Competition this year. From these entries it was narrowed down to 215.  From the 215 (8%) to 48 (1.8%)  to 4.  My daughter's work was one of the 48 selected. What does this mean? Her painting, along with the other 47 selected entrants, will be exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery in England  from June 14-September 23, then the exhibition will travel to Wolverhampton Art Gallery October 13 to December 2, the Scottish National Portrait Gallery in Edinburgh from December 2018 to March 2019 and Cartwright Hall, Bradford from March till June 2019.
If you'd like to learn more about the entrants, here is the link .

I'd like to share some of the baby girl's and our son-in-law's work. Meghan Cox paints in oils.

Jacob Lunderby's work combines painting, photography and digital manipulation.
