How can it be Friday already?
Seriously?
Well my phone, radio and calendar tell me it is, but I'm finding it hard to believe.
One of the reasons could be because I've been in a fog over the last three days... quite literally.
Although the temperatures have been unseasonably warm this week, they've been accompanied by thick fog. Sometimes so much so that we could hardly see the garden fence.
So I took that as a great excuse to indulge in a painting.
After finishing the Inktober challenge I needed some colour.
The grapevine provided me with that fix.
I apologise for the poor quality of this photograph... but foggy conditions certainly make photography challenging.
Hopefully, the sun will come up tomorrow...(that sounds like a musical).
If that's the case, then I'll be certain to replace the photo with a better one.
I'm off to join in with the Paint Party over at Kristin and Eva's place.
Have fun and Happy Painting to you all.

Lovely painting and you succeeded in painting it, even in the fog.
ReplyDeleteThanks Terra,
DeleteI'm happy to report that finally the fog lifted today but I didn't get to paint.
Maybe I will tomorrow with any luck!
Have a great weekend
Hi Neesie, your painting is beautiful! I had forgotten how talented you are. Hope the sun does come out tomorrow. I actually think we may get some sun, too. We've certainly had our fair share of rain lately. Talk soon!
ReplyDeleteAww bless you Laurie, for such a lovely compliment.
DeleteThe sun didn't come out here, but thankfully the fog did lift. We haven't had heavy rain lately but we've certainly had lots of mizzle (fine rain)
I hope the sun came to call on you and will continue into the weekend.
So lovely. Happy PPF
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Clare,
DeleteHappy PPF to you too ;D
So beautiful painting. It's good to see grapewine's great colours for change.
ReplyDeleteWe had here many sunny days but now it's becoming clouly and colder.
Wishing fog goes away there.
Have a happy weekend ♥
Your wish has been granted Sirkkis, the fog disappeared today... so thank you for that.
DeleteWe haven't seen the sun yet, but I'm hope to see it at some stage over the weekend.
I wish you a happy weekend to you ;D
The sun is always out on your blog! Proof...look at those stunning grapes...takes a lot of sun to create such beauty! Yes crazy insanely fast week..... I think I actually saw wings on the clocks as the time flew rapidly by
ReplyDeleteHugs Giggles
Bless you Giggles,
DeleteI now have an illustration of wings on a clock whizzing around!
You always bring the sunshine with you when you visit.
Have a wonderful weekend ;D
Your grapevine is lovely. We haven't seen the sun in a week. Hoping it comes out here as well.
ReplyDeleteSame here Kate... the sun is being very illusive. Let's hope we both see it over the coming weekend. Although I have just see our weather forecast and it doesn't look like I'll be lucky. Hopefully you will ;D
DeleteThese finished up perfectly. I love the colors in your leaves. Makes them look real. Hope your fog lifts and the weekend is bright!
ReplyDeleteI'm still not convinced that they are finished Erika... but if you say so then I'll take that.
DeleteI'm glad that I added some red to the leaves too. I'm not so sure about a bright weekend but thankfully the fog lifted today.
Have a lovely weekend too ;D
Beautiful grapevine, love the colours. We had good, cold autumn weather all week, but now it's warm and cloudy/misty! Have a good weekend, Happy PPF, Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteThank you Valerie-Jael,
DeleteIt sounds like we've had similar weather to you...except the additional four days of fog!
I hope you have a great weekend too
Happy PPF
So sweet and delicate!Happy PPF ♥
ReplyDeleteAww thank you Karla,
DeleteIt's wonderful to have so much positive feedback.
Happy PPF to you too ;D
Oh I would love to have this piece hanging in my kitchen! Beautiful! Happy PPF
ReplyDeleteOh that is such a lovely compliment Susan, thank you ;D
DeleteAnd to think I was only playing!
I hope you have a wonderful weekend... happy PPF to you too
Your grapevine is so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAww thank you so much Christine ;D
DeleteHave a great weekend
Beautiful--lovely colors! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Rita, I enjoyed playing with this one ;D
DeleteI hope you're having a great weekend
this is gorgeous Neesie- and those twirled vines are heavenly!
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda... that's a lovely comment.
DeleteI enjoyed painting this one. I just experimented and liked the outcome.
I hope you have a fun packed weekend
Beautiful! The foggy weather didn't seem to hamper your creativity. I love the grape vines.
ReplyDeleteI think the fact that everything was grey made me crave some colour Janet,
DeleteIt worked so I'll have to have another play soon.
Thanks for popping into my place and I hope you're having a great weekend.
Oh very lovely, especially the red leaves, such favourites at this time of year!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't sure whether to add the red or not Kat, but once I did, I realised it was the right decision.
DeleteHave a wonderful weekend
Beautiful work. You have a fantastic illustrative style. I hope the fog goes soon. It was bad on Monday in the borders when i was visiting but the east coast seems to have had it worst.
ReplyDeleteWell I wish I could say that the fog disappeared but it came back this morning. That's over four days of fog and that's not funny.
DeleteOh how I miss the sky to say nothing of the sun!
Thank you for your lovely compliment about my style. It's always interesting to hear people's view on your artwork.
Have a great creative weekend.
Fantastic looking piece of artwork. Love the colours.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Sarn xxx
Ahh thank you for your kind comment Sarn,
DeleteIt's great to know that people like my art.
Enjoy your weekend
Hope you have sunshine by now. This is a stellar painting. Very sharp and detailed. Well done.
ReplyDeleteNicole/Beadwright
Hmm... sunshine? Let me think... don't tell me... I'm sure I'll remember sunshine in a minute. It just feels like it's been so long since we were lucky enough to see it!
DeleteThe fog was here again this morning. It must like it here, because it just doesn't want to leave!
Thank you for your kind words... and I hope you have a sunny weekend even if we don't ;D
Hello Neesie. Yes I spotted that your not a Scottish Monster. Thank you for visiting my bird blog. I see that you are a talented artist as well as pretty handy with a camera.
ReplyDeleteI hope our (almost) similar weather patterns improve. We had the Indian Summer, then fog now just rain but things will get better.
(Haha) Yep Neesie not Nessie because even if I say so myself, I don't think I'm a monster... well not unless I haven't had enough sleep!
DeleteThank you for your kind words. I feel I play with art and photography but it makes me happy.
I'm not sure where you are located, but if you've had the four days of fog that we've had...you'll possibly be craving to see the sky or sun.
Let's hope this weekend will improve although the forecast doesn't look favourable.
Enjoy your weekend, no matter what the weather.
Wonderful drawing! love the colors. :)
ReplyDeleteNeesie, your painting is just beautiful. Lovely colors and a beautiful grapevine. Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteThis is beeeautiful, you really know how to do it!
ReplyDeleteHave a creative and hopefully sunny week!
