Hello to all! Well the "creative juices" have leaped into action, but not in the food department. I am into being creative with my paint brush instead of a spatula. After almost 2 years, I picked up my brushes, paint, and canvases and I am back painting. The lady with the green hat has been the focus of my attention this past week and is taking shape. Hopefully I will be finished with her within the next week or so and will gladly introduce you to her at that time.
The garden is surviving our summer sun so far with 88 degree days and nights getting down to 82. That sun is HOT! Some of the herbs and peppers are loving the bright, hot and long days of summer, but not much else in the veggie department. I am sure though that the rest of you up north are starting to reap the rewards of your gardens about now. Would like to hear what is ready in your garden!
Speaking of gardens, I must go for now as I think I hear quite a few of my residents shouting for a bit of water!
Cheers!

Hello! Lovely to see you back. :) And I love the lady in the green hat. I'd like a hat like that actually...
Hi Deb! ;)
Deb,
You are an amazingly talented person! This painting is fantastic - I love the perspective and colours. I am looking forward to meeting her when she is complete. I used to sketch, draw and sometimes paint a lot as a child & teenager, but somehow that dwindled in my adulthood. I've always though I might go back to those medium someday. Someday!
have a wonderful weekend. I am off to meet Gordan Ramsay today - i am so excited! Yes, I am a Gordan Groupie...
xx nora
Deb - yes. Paint. I am so pleased you've pickd up paint and brush again.
Wish I could do the same, but it just won't come. Glad you're happy with it - she looks serene.
Updates on her progress, please!
Wow, I didn't know you painted. It's beautiful, love that hat.
nice to hear things are going well - and will look forward to seeing how your lady turns out - a most impressive work in progress
Good to see you back again :-)
And the painting looks wonderful - wish I could draw more than matchstick men!
Hi Deb! Good to see you're back. Creative juices are always good in all departments.
We have some pretty hot summer days as well and it's getting harder and harder to endure the temperatures.
Can't wait to see your painting when it's done :)
I can't wait to see the lady in the green hat once she is completed...although she looks in pretty good shape already. I always admire people with so many talents as you have:D
Hi Deb, I love yur painting and nice gree hat. The painting reminds me of the 20's.
Hi Deb,
Gordan Ramsay: well, he was quite far away from me unfortunately during the cooking demo at the celebrity theater that was part of the Sydney Good Food and Wine Show yesterday. I wished that I could meet him personally, or I at least get a photo with him after the cooking demo but his popularity is growing so rapidly, the crowd was so thick and boisterous that I couldn't even get through to the front during the book signing. :-( Never mind...he's opening a restaurant in Sydney or Melbourne and also doing a TV show here as well ( starts filming around Christmas time).
Deb, You certainly are a woman with many talents! Nice painting! Is that a self portrait?
Actually Wendy I wish I had a hat like that!
Hi Maryann!
Hi Nora, Gordon Ramsey - WOW!
Hey Lucy, she is quite mellow isn't she!
Thanks Cathy - the hat seems to be the big hit!
Hi Johanna, thanks for the kind words!
Hi Jen, bet you could, as that is how I started!
Thanks Lore, stay cool!
Hey Valli, you are so sweet, thanks for your support!
Hey Holler, never thought of the 20's, but you are right!
Hi Marie, not really a self portrait, but could be!
welcome back Deb. it is nice to see you'er painting. I have placed my brushed on the shelf until the kids get older 3 and 4 year olds love to paint, even if it on moms work.
ps if you go back and look at a few of my first posts you can see a few of my paintings.
Im happy you back dear Debs, really miss you!! Nice painting!! xxxxGloria
Everyday I sit at my computer... And look over at my paints and think I really should switch for awhile.
Good for you - I hope you are having a wonderful time... I like your lady...
Looks great so far! I can't wait to see her fully formed! Glad to hear things are still going great in Key West. We are thinking of having a foodie get together, possibly in September, In the Orlando area. Please email me if you would be interested! :)
the paintings are on my blog on Dec 12, 2006. wow that was a while ago.
Thank you Deb I am happy to hear that someone likes them
Deb welcome back darling! I missed you a lot over here :-)
that painting..:-) I have only a word.WOW nothing else could be better to describe what I feel :-)

A big kiss hun
Silvia
Lovely painting, I'm very impressed!
Sometimes I think it's good to have a break from food and be creative in some other area of life!
Oooh. love to see the lady in the green hat when she is finished!
Glad you are well and fine! Thank you for leaving me a note about your well being. BTW, I flew through Cincy, Columbus and Cleveland for various fun and work travel in Ohio. The weather was actually chilly in August in the Columbus area. Thought of you while watching weather about Fay in my hotel room in Ohio, and wondering if you were in Ohio to get away from it all.
