From Gardening to Art

Every picture tells a story.

We have started an art group at our Bowling Club now that the green has closed.
I was thinking about the amount of data we have stored in our memory cells once we grow older.
This gave me an idea of my next project for painting.I copied this image from the internet to use as an idea.Then using my web camera took my own profile and drew my brain around it using "paint".Then printed out the result to copy.
I am now doing a self portrait of myself with an extra large brain .I have started to paint images inside my new brain  of what memories are stored inside it.(My Husband thinks I should leave it empty!)My first image was a clock as time has always been very important to me.Even now that I am retired,my days are planned.

Most of the people in the class are painting Animals and Flowers.I decided to try something different!
Watch this space for further updates.

Potatoes

My little poly tunnel.

The potatoes are growing well.I have transferred 2 bags to the greenhouse and this lot will be moved soon once I have got rid of all of the tomato plants.
