The decision to put up each of your works as you finish them is a brave one, but a good one. It will provide an easy opportunity for both you and your viewers to see how you are progressing and particularly to note what are the continuity threads in style and subject. For example, I see the darkening colours of autumn in your first painting has now moved to the depth of the snow drifts in the recent one. I also note that not having touched the brushes and paint for some time, you are quickly becoming familiar with it again. Keep it going!! It's good!

]]> Comment on Birthday business (part 2) by ND http://blog.heathertelford.com/2010/02/24/birthday-business-part-2/#comment-4128 ND Fri, 26 Feb 2010 07:03:17 +0000 http://blog.heathertelford.com/?p=1424#comment-4128 How great to read of a wonderful birthday celebration spreading through the whole day and reaching into many of its activities. What a talented family, too! They do not simply do the traditional thing of "breakfast in bed" for Mum on her birthday. They provide meals and treats with sophisticated names. As Heather knows, her birthday is always followed immediately by another significant anniversary - that of her parents' wedding - and it was no different this year. In fact, with a time difference of 16 hours, we find ourselves celebrating birthday and wedding anniversary concurrently, even if we are half a world apart. For us, the anniversary did not involve special meal treats on this occasion although we did go to a new cafe restaurant in a neighbouring suburb. It makes a feature of its gluten free cakes and slices so we expected that R would be able to select something tasty to go with the pot of herbal tea. Sadly, on this day the cafe had received very good patronage and the selection of treats was greatly diminished by the time of our visit late afternoon. Packaged cookies is all that was left. Still, it was a pleasant afternoon and we enjoyed each other's company. I was able to celebrate with an iced mocha accompanied by raisin scones with jam and cream. The day finished with attendance at our fortnightly neighbourhood study group where we shared our anniversary news with members of the group. The celebratory theme continues on Saturday as Matt, cousin of L15, A13 and B9 and younger brother of Luke who featured in an earlier blog, has a "surf party" at the coast. Now we have entered the fiftieth year of marriage. I wonder what next year's celebrations will mean.

Sounds like it was awesome, lacking only a thorough soaking (err, swim). Hope the next run around the sun is as good or better!
