Ever have one of those days when you tweak and twiddle and nothing seems to be "just right"?
Well today was one of those days. I worked on several images and the ideas and concepts were there but nothing gelled quite the way I wanted to ..... so pooooof .... off into rubbish they went. Hours of work dissolved in the crinkle of the right click, move to trash icon.
At 7pm I was forced to shut down all the technologies as we started to be battered by massive thunder storms, non-stop lightening strikes and a deluge of rain. My rain gauge outside (aka empty flower pot) reckoned on about 3".
At 9pm, a brief lull in the storm sent DH and I out in search of some dinner and we tried a new pub, barely a few minutes away, which was a good thing as flash flooding had many of the roads here abouts totally impassable.
After a few pints of stellar NC brewed beer and some tasty "fixin's" (see I am learning the southern lingo!) we snagged another lull in the storm and made it home with only a few raindrops for decoration.
I did brave a little more editing after dinner... perhaps the beer and delicious spinach and artichoke dip helped? the PG version of one of my recent Art Nudes is above and if you are brave and not particularly uptight or naked people phobic, you can see the full version on Pixoto.
NOTE though... please don't go and look at the image on Pixoto and then write and tell me you are offended. I had some woman write last week demanding that I remove my link to one of my fine art nudes from my FB page. It's a link, you click on it, you dont like it you close it. End of story. It was INCREDIBLY easy to remove her from my Friends list!!
