Dare to Dream

Image
 After weeks of practicing we had a rehearsal, dress rehearsal and two performances of Dare to Dream at Hallet Cove as part of the Adelaide Fringe. The show was well received by our full house audiences The finale went down well... Under the Sea!

Watercolours are safe and my 'go to' but have been exploring abstract and cubism. I quite like some of Picasso's early works and also Cezanne's landscapes but not a fan of Lichenstein's cows After my sucessful guitar I'm moving on to multicoloured cats....but my simple interpretation rather than a copy of Picassos  Makes a change from owls, wrens and NHS pen and wash vingnettes

The Cedars

Image
Had a great trip to the Cedars, home of the SA artist Hans Heysen, with the Coro Community group. A most enjoyable day with coffee and lunch. Lots of great paintings on view and the house is charming. Only a small group but we met several new friends from 'the Friendship Force'

Out 'n about

Our first Covid free trip out for a while for #coffeeoclock at McLaren Vale and smoothie/juice at the Port Willy kiosk. Silver Sands was very quiet today but no energy for a walk yet. Had a relaxed drive home via Snapper Point, McLaren Flat and Clarendon.

Bye bye Summer

February ended badly. Exhausted after retreat, I came down with a stinking cough and cold. That eventually became Covid with 3 days gastritis. I seem to have done nothing but sleep. Not reaching my units but at least the weight is actually coming off. It seems even level one is too high and I need to be below 1300/1400 to get results. Missed 2 concerts and our special gig at Kingston House. Feeling very fed up but at least the antilvirals worked for Clive and hopefully he'll be negative soon. Had enough of being housebound and permanently tired... missing some nice sunny weather too. Need a #coffeeoclock soon
