We got sunny and 10C today, which is very warm for Feb. Gardening weather. Great to be outside wrestling with the brambles, 'helped' by cats and chickens. I'm glad your bro likes my work. The top image was the one from the inkjet image, one of my very early digital abstract images. i love how it looks genuinely ancient somehow due to being given the JBD treatment. I shall never get tired of that apparent contradiction ;-)Jon Burgess Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686489273842347796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5092482901439814613.post-51634094290742578972019-02-21T09:05:19.846-08:002019-02-21T09:05:19.846-08:00Sometimes when life hands you lemons - they just r...Sometimes when life hands you lemons - they just remain lemons. Like getting sicka and trying to recover that while your artistic abilities take a backseat and wait. <br /><br />I'm pleased to hear you are feeling better now Jon. I've my fingers crossed that I don't get it this year. I wear a mask when I'm out and about due to a very poor immune system and have plenty of hand gel with me if I have to touch anything other people do. Sounds like a germaphobe I know but it keeps me health(ier). <br /><br />So my question is this time around - is the first image the one from the injet? If so it's fab. I really like it. The softness of it. <br /><br />And once a month blogging is better then no blogging at all. I do love to read your blogs. I shared some of them with my brother who is a potter. His first comment was about the mask you made! That made me smile. He was taken with your work - probably far more then he's taken with my own work! LOL. That's okay. He does appreciate artists. So there you go. <br /><br />I do love looking at what you're working on. I also know that writing a blog and posting pics with it is very time consuming and can often feel like a chore. Especially if you don't know if anyone appreciates it or not. <br />I did that for a long time - about 6 years or so - and finally took a much needed break. But I never lost touch with the friends I made while blogging. We shared emails and now can reach out and continue sharing in a different way. <br /><br />That being said - I wouldn't be able to see your work or know much of what you're doing without your blogging. I'm not a fan of FB. I rarely go on there. So I miss what you post there. <br /><br />K - enough of my blabbing. I've got work to do today and am so eager to get into my studio. The sun is shining and it's only -23C. So a perfect day for studio work. <br /><br />I'll proceed with my day happy to have read your blog. That's just me Jon. aimshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12685252628734838159noreply@blogger.com
