The 'Art' of an evening picnic

A most joyous afternoon and evening walk.
One that felt so so good.
We drove over to a neighbouring town where I'd had
three pieces of art hanging in an exhibition for a few days.
It was a really well organised event, the folk were kind and efficient
and I was made to feel welcome.
Then, yesterday, we had to all retrieve our work at the end of the exhibition.
To my absolute amazement, and disbelief I have to admit,
I'd sold one of my paintings.
Talk about being happily surprised.
Art safely stashed in the car, we continued our evening plans.
To have an evening picnic alongside a most picturesque 
and favourite canal lock. 



It was good to share the evening,
a shame to end it,
but we made plans that we'd do it again :)

Both my laptop and camera (with a flourish and a slamming of the door), have died.
so I am learning how to get on with their replacements,
surprised myself by getting these images up
with relative ease!

  1. Congratulations on selling a painting. I sold nothing, not even a card. But as the DP said I paint as I enjoy it, not to sell it!

  6. Well done on selling your art, I have said to my OH I want to go on a picnic before the summer is out, now the boys are grown up we forget the simple things of having time just sat next to a river.

  7. Sounds like congratulations are in order - on your sale, on mastering new technology and providing Miss Moss with the most wonderful pre-bedtime workout {grin}.
    I keep meaning to write and ask how you were getting on with your new camera, but clearly the answer is "extremely well". xx

    Stunning evening stroll pictures.

  12. Must be the moon or something. My computer spent 4 days in the shop and cost a bundle to retrieve! Your picnic sounds lovely. We haven't done that in a long while. Maybe its time.
