Beatlemania concert

 We got free tickets to a Beatlemania concert on Oct 3rd and it was well timed in terms of a celebration of our 37th wedding anniversary on Oct 8th.  I am not all that much of a Beatles fan but the band was excellent and we enjoyed their music.  In fact they got a standing ovation at the end and gave us a 6 song encore.  I would say they were 'jamming', really enjoying themselves and it was infectious.

In the following days, I found myself humming their catchy songs, then I started playing them on Alexa in the mornings.  Maybe I am a Beatles fan now.

Friday Art - Stingray

 Welcome to Friday Art! This is the underside of a stingray.  While it looks like his eyes those are his nostrils.  His eyes are on the topside, not shown here in this ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") in watercolour pencil.

Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Fog theme and Angie's Prune Ketchup

 Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date's 'Fog' theme!  Here is my piece inspired by photos of fog over the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.  It is an ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") in acrylic and watercolour pencil.

For the Dinner Date, I made Angie's plum ketchup as I happened to have plums on hand that day.  It is flavourful and tangy, I think it will be good on sandwiches, even burgers.

In fact, I spread the plum ketchup onto my grilled cheese sandwich and it was tangy, flavourful with a spicy kick.

Hemp Hearts

 

Daughter L  encouraged us to finally try these hemp hearts. The seeds are good sprinkled over lots of food items.  It seems to have a multitude of other uses.  When I looked at the nutritional benefits I was amazed at all the vitamins and minerals it contains. You just need a small amount per serving.

Dog with Sunglasses

 My nephew thought it was fun to put his dog in sunglasses, purely for fashion!
