Spheres

The full moon with a halo effect around it. It comes out so badly on my camera, but you can see the colours-the icy blue and an orangey tinge.
Just to the right of the boat is an orange buoy. The same orange as the ball below.
I used the ball as the sun in this photo shop collage. The skeleton is a photo hanging from one of my shelves, and the cat is from a Steinlen picture on a postcard from Anairam.

A painting from ages ago, played with the other night. Are heads spheres? What is an oval sphere called? Is it an ovoid? Yes I think it is! The process of talking to myself has worked again! Linda at work is always talking to herself, and when I answer her she says so. She says that she gets the answers she wants to hear from herself!

We are off on our little holiday tomorrow. I will be back with news of it on Tuesday!
I hope you all have a lovely weekend!

Love all your creations. Saw that same moon this morning sinking-- sinking into an oncoming storm. Have a lovely holiday!

And talking to oneself is the only way to be sure there is a listener who cares--even when you don't know the answer.

I love Steinlen! I have that exact cat in my kitchen here (it's a popular picture, isn't it?), I have another Steinlen pic with a couple of dogs and cats and a girl at a vet's office.

I just put a full moon in the night at the top of my blog today. (I've changed the whole look at "Keepsakes").

I hope you have a fantastic little trip to The Eternal City!

Oh! Little holiday!! I love the sound of that! Love your moon - the sky looks a little chilly though - I heard there were blizzards in Scotland!

When I scrolled down and your moon image popped up, it popped in my eyes like a tiny explosion. It was wonderful!
