Little Mermaid


My sister sent me this photo of 'The Little Mermaid' who sits in by the waterside in Copenhagen, Denmark. It was the first stop on her Baltic cruise last month.  The little statue is a symbol of the city and according to Wikipedia has been a recent target of vandalism unfortunately.

Welcome to August by the way!

My uncle's partner called me yesterday to say he had been moved to the Reminiscence floor in his senior home, where they have more care and supervision.  His dementia has progressed since I saw him last December.

Paint Party Friday - All Occasion Card

Welcome to the month of August, time to turn those calendar pages.

This is all occasion greeting card in acrylic (5 1/2"h x 4 1/4"w) for Paint Party Friday.  I was looking for ideas of what to paint this week.  I settled on some kind of greeting card.  There were a couple of birthday cards on Pinterest with daisies on them that I liked.  But my daisy didn't look right, so I decided to make it a chrysanthemum!  I'm quite pleased with the way it evolved into something of my own.
