Another shot from yesterday as I have been painting most of the day so am rather shattered tonight.
Progressed to the kitchen now & am covering up all the wooden stained doors....don't know why I haven't done it before....something to do with the fact covering up wooden doors with paint.....a sort of taboo idea in our minds. They were so dark & even though only under coated the kitchen seems so much lighter.
My footsteps on a very quiet Blackpool beach.
Three good things:
1. Talked to no. 1 son this morning & the move from one farm to another has gone well. As my NZ 365 friends already know June 1st is moving day in farming circles in NZ as farm contracts always start on that day. A fabulous system of allowing young farmers to climb the farming ladder in different types of share farming in the hope of one day climbing the ladder to the top & owning your own farm. Would be unthinkable in the UK.
2. Harry went for some masking tape at the local hardware shop & came back with a kneeler...how have I ever managed without one before!
3. Siting in my chair for the evening with nothing to do except comment on 365.
Love your photo and hope the new kneeler saves your knees! I'm really interested in the painting dark wood in your kitchen as our has dark wood units but I haven't been brave enough to have a go at lightening up tho it has to be an improvement. Look forward to seeing a view when you get it finished... just a little at a time though...take care!
@sarah19 I was even tempted to have a go at the kitchen units too but have changed my mind as they are fairly new as in 2002 & quite pale wood any way.
If yours are dark I would be very tempted....notice while I was in B&Q yesterday they had special paints for kitchen cupboards! I think you would need to sand them well to gets good key but very tempting! Just painting the three dark wood doors in the kitchen & though only under coated it's such an improvement Sallie....be brave!
@shutterbugger ha ha Jenn you are right now I look at them.......no drink at that time of the morning,,,,11am ....I hadn't realised what acwobblybline I took...busy looking at different angles I think!
@happypat thank you for encouraging me. We saw a special kind of paint at a shop not far away so I think I might have a go...could test out inside and see if it was suitable...and if not well...
Maybe in summer holidays!
This is a lovely composition, I love the leading lines heading to the landmarks and the low pov. Well done on the painting. A nice relax has definitely been earned!
Great shot.. love the footprints that lead you into the Blackpool wheel.. reminds me of the very lovely poem.. Footprints.. We had no one to shift this year .. so my 'one good thing'.. pleased all went well for your boy.. doing well with your painting..
No.. no I couldn't, I used to work in the Amusement (slot machine) industry and we had our annual show at the Winter Gardens. We used to love taking our customer there and watch their faces.
This is ground breaking stuff! Hope you managed to get back up! I do like your 3 things.... I had serious trouble with mine but managed to get my head above water.
This is a lovely shot. I like the wiggle in the footprints - was that intentional? The kitchen in the flat is horrid cheap reddy-coloured wood (or maybe even wood effect) and I've been yearning to paint it. Go for it!
@jewelsandbinoculars perhaps the landlord might let you paint them, but have you the time!! I am just painting the wooden doors in the room which were all dark wood & not even nice dark wood.....kitchen cupboards are pale.
Beautiful shot. Just love it. It takes me back. We used to visit Blackpool when I was a child and on the journey there, the person who saw the tower first was given sixpence.
I can't claim my sixpence here as there were so many people here who saw this photo before me.
Great shot! I like when you go to Blackpool...the place of the wild donkeys
