    Here's a painting I did in my art group, of an old church up one of the hills near here, it's a creepy place but we used to walk to it through a bluebell wood many years ago.
    I have put marks on it and resized it, to make it difficult to steal.

      I used to knit little figurines. Mostly of Morrissey. Screenshot_20240522-195656.png

        I like your church painting @Michael Hewett. :) Can I ask the name of the church as I'd like to look it up?

        Thank you @Sheal. It is Llangiwg church. There's quite a lot about it on the internet.

          Hi @eatenbyweasels I wonder if you could tell me how you get those words on your picture, I would like to be able to do that to my paintings when I show them on the internet, so that they don't get 'stolen'
          Thank you :smile:

          It was a long time ago. I think I was using Photoshop on a laptop.

            That is excellent @Michael Hewett.. Speaking as someone who has ZERO artistic talent, I am seriously jealous of your ability!

                  Your church painting is lovely @Michael Hewett . I too envy your talent.

                  @eatenbyweasels and @Valley Gardener no amount of wool would give me the urge tho I do love a good jumper. We have a small group of knitters at patchwork club who knit endless jumpers all year which surprises me given that a normal Vendée winter is neither very cold nor very long.
