My desk this week shows me redoing my Manifold Way landscape. It’s half term so no class this week. I’m trying to make it look more Ravilious and less wild and woolly, though the Pennines often are very wild and woolly.
This reference card is by Eric Ravilious, to show his style, albeit on the Downs rather than the Pennines.
I’m also starting to join the edges on my hexi cardi. I’m crocheting the seams. At the mo it’s hard to see if it fits - it feels rather big. I may need to crochet a button band and collar. The sleeves are 3/4 which I like. I’ll also be adding pockets.
Bella’s been supervising as you can see😻
She sends you all purrs.
Fingers crossed for me on Friday as I have a phone appointment with the local NHS Headache clinic for migraines. The neurologist I saw privately gave me a private prescription for a new medicine which I take every 48h. I’m hoping this NHS doctor will agree to prescribe it for me as it really works but I can’t afford to keep paying for it privately. My GP said she wasn’t allowed to prescribe it.
And finally…

I’ve sorted the oven clock out at least.
Happy WOYWW all!

I think you’ve cracked the Ravilious technique with that lovely painting of the Downs, the colours are spot on. I do really like your painting of the Manifold valley too, brings back some good memories xx The funnies made me laugh but that last one in particular made me hoot, who is this old woman looking back at me out of the mirror?!
ReplyDeleteGot everything crossed for you for the call with the Headache clinic.

I'm with Jan - you def. cracked it. Very neat technique. I suppose your hubby wouldn't wear that cardi, so let's hope it fits. One thing about knitted/crocheted stuff - you can't really adjust the size much once it's on it's way. But it looks lovely so maybe just layer it? Be a shame if it doesn't get worn.

Happy WOYWW.

Sorry I didn’t mean to suggest I’d painted the Ravilious card. I’ve clarified my wording xx
ReplyDeleteWell I rather think you have the style you were after, really admire your tenacity with it. 'Woolly' made me laugh, it's not a bad style at all, although it may not have been what you wanted in this case. File it as a style for future paintings!
ReplyDeleteI am really enjoying seeing your painting developing….its looking good. I hope the cardi fits as it’s a lot of work if it doesn’t.

Loving your painting of the South Downs Lynne. I hope the consultant agrees to prescribe the medication that is working for your migraines. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah
ReplyDeleteSo happy you are going to do something about that shingles jab.
ReplyDeleteWhat fab lot of funnies you have for us today. The last one made me laugh so thanks for that.
Lovely greens in your painting of the Downs and that crochet, well, its fantastic. Can just imagine how snug it will feel especially when it has pockets.
Hugs to all three of you

Lovely watercolour painting. I love the colours in your cardigan. I have only ever crocheted two garments, a jumper and a cardigan for my husband, both were miles too big so got very little wear! Happy WOYWW. Angela #13
ReplyDeleteBeautiful painting, it's everything I think of about the Pennines. Your cardi is coming on really well and looks lovely. Love the pics of Bella but mostly want to say hope the phone call goes well as I know how awful migraine is. Wishing you a very happy and creative woyww. Hugs Angela x11x
ReplyDeletethe paintings are beautiful. I hope the appointment is successful for the medication. Thanks for stopping by. Helen #2
