If nothing else, the sound of the pipes makes me want to head north over the border into the wild glens and daydream of handsome men in kilts as I run through the heather.
I've had a painting frenzy over the past week so am able to once again join in the frivolity over at Paint Party Friday. I've still got the paint down my fingernails to prove it. At least I'll be able to join in on the "Isn't it hot"" conversations as the UK FINALLY starts to swelter in an appropriately summery fashion.
It must have been all those visitors arriving at Heathrow for a certain sporting event. They clearly packed us a little bit of sunshine each which was very kind of them.
I can also join in on debating the hot topic of that book which I am currently reading. Frankly I would like to smack the pair of them... but then again, I fear that may not be the solution...
PS: Something VERY SPECIAL is happening later today...
Fingers crossed Team GB!

This gypsy queen is mysterious and full of motion. What a fabulous painting Lisa, I love the colors! Summer has finally arrived here too (I think England and Oregon have much in common weather-wise) and we are enjoying it. I'll be reading "that book" later this week while we are off on vacation. It's downloaded to my Kindle and ready to go. Happy PPF!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful painting. So much color and I do love color. Gypsy girl is just awesome. As far as the "books," I've read all three. I posted about it a few weeks back. Have a wonderful weekend and great piece.
ReplyDeleteLove the ornate hair and background of your gypsy painting!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to watching the opening ceremony tonight!
♥♥♥
Happy PPF!!

LOVE your gypsy woman- those beads and background are perfect with her eyes!
ReplyDeleteBTW, I've read THAT book and I definitely don't think smacking them would go very well....I know my "inner goddess" got really really irritated with her on behalf of womankind- I'm still undecided on whether I'll read the others!
Hugs,
Stephanie
P.S. Go Team USA ;) can't wait for tonight!
Gorgeous! The beads in her hair are especially beautiful.
