Partridge

Greetings

I am interested in the etymology of words and learnt ( on QI ) that the word 'Partridge' derives from a French word for a fart, as this is the noise the bird's wings make when it takes off.

I also learnt that the word ' Petard' ( an old word for a mine or bomb), also comes from a French word for fart.

The similarity of this word to the name of a Star Trek character gave me an idea for a cartoon:

New painting

Greetings

Every now and again I put a new canvass on the easel and just start painting.

I always paint in acrylic in these instances, as the fast drying time is essential.

Sometimes I will turn the painting different ways as I work. Sometimes I paint things out.

I refer to these pictures as "Letting my subconscious out for a jog" and do not actively engage in what they may, or may not, mean.

This is the most recent painting I have completed.

I have called it "The Golden Tree".

Until next time

Adieu

Composer composition

Greetings

Here is a new cartoon.

I love puns and homophones.

Until next time

More work to current oil painting

Greetings

I have done a bit more work to my current oil painting. It is currently in the 'living with it and occasionally working on it when I spot something' stage.

It  last looked like this:

It now looks like this:

I'm aware that the changes are small, but that's the way it goes at this stage...

As usual, I will post about it again when I've done some more work to it.

Until next time

Adieu
