Day Thirteen - Saddle Up

I am afraid this is a cheat day - I just haven't been myself today and have worked away at a painting for hours that ended up as a wiper by 5pm!
This morning I decided to bake an orange cake and put everything in the mixer, turned it on at the lowest speed - flour, egg, margarine, all came flying out, over me, the floor, the worktop and everything sitting on there!
I put as much back in the bowl as I could and kept mixing. I eventually got the cake in the oven. NOW to clean up, I stretch forward to get the kitchen roll holder, managed to only grab the roll and the holder fell on my toe!!!
6"x6" Oil in Wide Solid Wood Frame £135 incl UK postage
This little 6" square oil was shown in the Whitehouse Gallery and is still for sale! It has taken me ages to write this little piece, I keep making mistakes!! Time to rest, I think!!!!

  1. I like all these blues. Your comment made me laugh - we've all had days like that. Some paintings paint themselves in an hour and I just hold the brush. In others I fight it for hours before the wipe-out. What I can't figure out is why it doesn't occur to me to quit for the day when it all seems to be going downhill.

  3. Oh bless you! Perhaps you could have photographed the strewn cake mix and called it a Margaret Pollock! Now that there's distance between you and the event, I hope you can see the funny side. Sending you lots of Christian love, xx

    1. I can laugh now ! Lots of friends seem to have days like this, being of a certain age, like me and also a bit of "overheating" if you know what I mean!!!
