Well, the roses are doing very well but my laptop is not quite the same even though it is working. I lost all my links so I spent an hour or so yesterday putting them all back. I've lost all my e-mail addresses so if any friends are reading this - do drop me a line! The most irritating though is that I've lost Adobe Photoshop so I can't put any photos or drawings on the blog for the moment. This stripey rose - my favourite - was taken last year but they are out now and looking even bigger and better. Most of my photo folders have gone too but some must have been saved on another drive.I should be going up the walls, being a computer addict, but I feel surprisingly calm. I should have done some sorting and deleting but now it's been done for me. I feel quite clutter free! And even though I can't show any drawings, I feel I don't need to produce anything for the blog and so can use the time splashing about with the watercolours - my efforts are too basic to show anyway.
There is more good news about the watercolour class though. The teacher is running a class at her studio on Monday's too and due to illness and other things, the class of four is down to one so she asked if I'd like to go along and join in. Did I say yes please, or no thanks? No prizes for guessing! I also, last week, found a partner for sketchcrawling, so, artwise, things are definitely looking rosy!

Sorry for all the computer drama, but YAY for the art stuff!! Have a great time sketching with your new buddy - it's just way too much fun!!
OH I HATE computer issues -- congrats for staying calm -- I get really ugly and upset! LOVE YOUR ROSE!!!
Thanks Diahn!
Lin, I can't imagine you ever getting ugly! :)
Wow! Your drawing style is great! Thank you.
You're doing so well in spite of all that frustrating loss! I know what you mean about the feeling of freedom, though, from having to perform for your blog. My hectic current personal life has meant I haven't been able to post as much and it IS freeing. Makes me realize I'll be able to get back to more extended artwork (as opposed to daily sketches only) after my daughter's wedding.
I was fascinated by your 7 things!
Computers vs roses...hmmmm. I pick roses! This one especially is a beauty and such an interesting shape.
My computer is starting to act up (turns off on its own randomly) and it's old enough it's time to think about replacing it. I'm glad to hear about your class and the freedom and time you've found without spending so much time computing. Gives pause, no?
Lucky lucky you! I wish I had someone to go sketching with. It sounds as if the watercolour classes have turned out to be good fun and really enjoyable as well.I'd love to hear what you have to do in your classes and your perspective on them.
Good fun and really enjoyable?? Aren't they the same thing? Sorry, brain not in gear today!
