happy birthday to me!!!

Oh no it's my birthday again already. Why does it come around so quickly?
I'm just getting ready to be a lady who lunches with my pal Maggi and only have a moment to spare. Rather than think of presents I'd like to open, I will think of places I'd like to be, so let me show you one of my favourite places on earth.
This is a picture I took of beautiful Housel bay in Cornwall. I will never tire of visiting and will be back there later this year, hooray! I've given it a vintage makeover.
Thanks for viewing ♥

" Cornish encounters "

Now that we are back from our holiday in Cornwall, I have the joy of sifting through the hundreds of photos I've taken, {and removing all the blurred ones!}.
I took some water colour paper and a couple of mini canvases and managed to get five artworks finished, in between reading Ruth Rendell books! Ah the joy of blank canvases waiting for paint! So, here's a couple of the finished works, nestling in the hedgerow. I've used a mixed media of acrylics and oriental papers to make these collages. Wait a moment though, we have a visitor in the depths of the woodland. Yay, it's Foxy from last year, still as pretty as ever. Here she is looking cute for the camera and having a chat with Tony, probably about what to put on the barbecue today!!
