| In the spirit of Halloween approaching... (for SUNDAY POSTCARD ART)
Happy end-of-the-week to you! Here's wishing you a satisfying weekend with only good things happening.
Halloween is fast approaching...excitement for the kids. I know my grandchildren have been planning "what they're going to be" for months!! Next week is also my granddaughter's 8th birthday...how did THAT happen???? Busy time! Happy Birthday to my Sweetie Girl, Lilly.
I've been busy creating new pieces of art for a variety of challenges...as usual.

...And our country for this week's ART and SOLE POSTCARD CHALLENGE is Scotland. We have several family members and friends living in Scotland. My mother-in-law was born there! It's a place we've visited many, many times. Sooo many old, old castles, interesting old cemeteries, lots of tradition...and some awful, bone-chilling weather. But it's beautiful...from the desolate Scottish moors to the busy cities. The seaside areas are lovely as is the countryside with its quaint stone cottages. I love the long-haired highland cows with their rusty colored hair, the kilts, the bagpipes, the ale, the scones with clotted cream... my Aunt Lilian and my mother-in-law made the best buttery shortbread EVER!! So many great memories...
The memories I chose for my Art and Sole pieces are of the 13th century castle of the Earl of Glasgow that's been decorated (by invitation) with vivid, exciting Brazilian graffiti. It was done in 2007, before the castle was to be resurfaced...and it's still there! The other memory I chose to show is that of a father and son at a park where we took the kids to play. Here they are...
