Tap heaven for WOYWW

I have been madly working on
my jellyfish painting this week.
I'm entering an art show that I thought
was ages away and it turns out it's only a couple
of weeks away (oops).
The Jellies are closest to finished so they are going
in along with my finished bird painting.
My desk is full of inky goodies
with bottles of straight ink and some mixed with clear ink
to make it less dark.  I use a paint brush to glaze areas
that I want darker so the jellies stand out more.
I still can't get the turquoise to come out and it isn't bright blue, it's violet! Argh, cameras hate me!!
I still have a bit of adjusting to do but you have to wait for
it to dry before doing the next layer, drives me nuts
and that's why I don't use oils anymore.

I also had some gooping fun with the bird I drew up last week

Still a long way to go but looking good so far.

My liposuction parrot (from last week) is looking really nice now
she's all inked up and raring to go...
Just need to do a head and foot transplant  :)
Still some poocack to go into the background.

But ... and it's a bit but
the best thing has happened...
I need new taps for our upstairs bathrooms
because the water is coming from the taps instead
 of the spouts and I saw the perfect taps.


What does this tap remind you of????
The clue is standing behind the tap..

But then I saw the name of the tap

Oh yeah, all is right in the world now!!!

Every time I turn on the shower I can yell
EXTERMINATE!!!!!
My hubbie's gonna go nuts (mwa ha ha).

cough, cough.

Well, that's mine for this week,
now why don't you have a look at the other
desks around the world.
Just press here

There's some ink calling my name, time
to go and play.

  3. I'd like to join Lynn please... just to sit watching you bring it all to life. Fascinating. Your desk looks fantastically messy which means you're creating.
    I like your taps which is shocking to me because I hated (and was traumatized) by the day like 😲 xoxo

  4. Lolol, love your taps! Your mind really does run parallel to mine...it's daft things like that which make me happy :-). That and the colours of your jellyfish painting...gorgeous, even if you say the colours aren't right. I don't care!

  9. Grrrr! My comment disappeared. Hi there, Vonny. Great paintings - I just love those jelly fish. The liposuction seems to have done the trick! Adore those taps - despite not liking the programme - our kids used to watch from behind splayed fingers!!
    Take care. trust the show goes well.
    God bless.

  11. Your artwork is amazing, as usual! I love the jelly fish and I can imagine it with turquoise in it.
    Wow! What brilliant taps! Are you a Dr Who fan? (sounds like it...)
    Have a great week,

    PS I'm thinking of our fellow desk hopper Shoshi today who's operation has been postponed yet again! I can't imagine how she must be feeling.

  15. Those new taps--what a scream! Love the gooping on your painting. Liposuction parrot is looking quite fit now. I don't care if they are purple or blue or a mix in between--the jellyfish painting makes me happy. It has such great movement to it. Judy #64

  20. Oh, that jellyfish painting is AH-MAY-ZING!! Love it!
    And your taps. . .hahahaha! I wouldn't have seen it myself, but don't think I can un-see it now. And to be named as such. Too, too funny!

  21. Ha, ha, ha ... love the Dalek taps! Who would have thought!
    The weather down here is also very un-Autumny too! Far too hot.
    Those jellyfish are just too scary, honestly.
    Thanks for dropping by. (I've been off on a tangent, net surfing, looking for very low tack tape to use with watercolour paper.)

  23. I really enjoy reading your blog and I love your paintings. I agree with you, painting with oil makes me nervous, because it has to dry for ages.
