Welcome my Friends, to Thursday's Art and Dinner Date! 😊😊
⬆️⬆️ I also painted a Mermaid looking up at the Big Dipper, this was done with watercolours though I'm kuffuffled because there is a lot of green in that water, but I just couldn't capture it with my camera or the scanner on my printer. I even tried to add green with Photoshop but it looked horrid, I have to figure out a proper way to photograph my paintings!
On the video front:

Wonderful skies!
ReplyDeleteThank you for showing how do paint them!
Oh, and the soup looks so good!
I can´t wait to have my mini-holiday and cook and bake, and paint.
Lovely constellation pieces and delicious food Rain!
ReplyDeleteFor some reason it is difficult to photograph a green-blue (or blue-green) color. I often experience that as well and it frustrates me to no end. This happens with my "big" camera, my phone and my scanner. It's just a very difficult color.
ReplyDeleteBut your mermaid is beautiful and I just use my imagination to see water that is more green.
Your art is gorgeous. Night skies blow me away. And, as usual, your food has my mouth watering.
ReplyDeleteYour constellation pieces are gorgeous, Rain! Mushroom soup is my favourite, yours look delicious! Thank you so much for hosting. Wishing you a wonderful holiday season!!

Lovely post, as always, Rain, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of fruit ketchup Rain. Thanks for the video to explain how to do it. And tweety with your constellations is great. Another great post Rain. Hope your week is going well. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteHello Rain,
ReplyDeleteWonderful paintings of the sky and the mermaid. Your dinner rolls and the mushroom soup look delicious. Take care, enjoy your day!
We are well into the soup season, Rain. Miriam made a delicious chicken orzo soup recently from scratch making her own broth first. I make a variety of soups and can them so we have a selection to choose from after a morning's birding on a cold winter's day. Delicious!
ReplyDeleteSoup is a favorite cold weather meal usually served with homemade bread, but the dinner rolls looked so good. Thanks for posting the recipe, Rain and definitely best served with butter.
ReplyDelete💙 Tweety Bird looking at the stars!
ReplyDeleteI love Tweety contemplating the vast universe!
ReplyDeleteRain, I love the constellation photo - especially the shading on Tweety! You continue to improve so much.
ReplyDeleteOne thing that has never been replicated by anyone are the dinner rolls my paternal grandmother made (Granny, as she was from the American South, and called biscuits). They were true Southern biscuits - my father always rated restaurants by how good their biscuits and gravy was.
Everything looks so great. That night sky is perfect. I think I will try the fruit ketchup. It would go well with so many different dinners. Try not to work too hard.
ReplyDeleteI like these Rain! Something very engaging about watching Tweety look up at the night sky. Thanks
ReplyDeleteWonderful Tweetie sky creation ~ Yummy foods too! Xo
ReplyDeleteWishing you good health, laughter and love in your days,

...I would like to place a takeout order for mushroom soup and dinner rolls please!
ReplyDeleteRain, I'm drooling over those dinner rolls! I'm always easily tempted by bread! On my linked blog post today, I'm eating flour tortillas my honey made with his new cast iron press, following your fellow Canadian Glenn and Friends excellent directions for using it on the stove to spread the ball and cook them at same time! Have a good weekend, xoxo
ReplyDeleteI do like Tweety Bird admiring the beautiful night sky.
ReplyDeleteYour soup looks delicious, perfect for cooler/cold days.
Enjoy your weekend.
All the best Jan
Thank you for hosting, Rain. I love the Mermaid Story so much, wonderful rememberings on the book and the Film.
ReplyDeleteWe have some snow now, it looks really festive.
Wish you a wonder-wonderful weekend.
Hugs by Heidrun
I envy anyone who can see a beautiful night sky with constellations and shooting stars and planets and the moon ... well, I can see the moon and an occasional star, but this is the down side of living close to a big city. I will, one of these days, take a run out into the country and take in the beautiful sky that Tweety is seeing and your mermaid as well. Oh, and try going to Photoshop, Enhance, Adjust Color, adjust hue/saturation. You should be able to get your green back in your picture. I have a terrible time getting colors to pick up when I scan in my art ... I get your frustration.
ReplyDeleteMushroom soup is a favorite at my house. I am looking forward to your video and recipe. I did make your acorn squash bisque, by the way ... yummmm :)
So, hope all of your household projects are finished for now and you will have time to relax and enjoy the holidays. Be well, Rain ...

Our stars been cover by clouds. I think the end of week I will be able to see the stars in the night sky.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
Those rolls look delicious, Rain. I just watched your video on making them. Mmmmm.
