N A T U R E S. B E A U T Y An unexpected delight today in the woods. So many beautiful and colourful mushrooms. The woods is one of my favourite places to be, so much life and so much quiet all at once. I don’t tend to find much pigment I can use in the forest so it allows me to enjoy nature’s beauty in other ways, like finding these little gems. (Obviously I left them where they were, no foraging today!) I think they might inspire some new paintings. Where is your favourite place to be? #woods #walkinginthewoods #naturesbeauty #naturespalette #goforawalk #walkinghighlands #highlandwalking #scotland #eastcoast #treetherapy #naturesmedicine #unexpectedpleasures #londonartistinscotland #inspiredbynature (at Raven's Rock) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTfqQlNgW4N/?utm_medium=tumblr

Another 2 of the 4 items acquired today from a nice chap I bought from on FB. Good to his word, he sought me out here at @hampsteadantiqueemporium and showed me his items. Thrilled with the items, including this red/orange glass vase (still to be researched, not sure of the maker yet) and this almost kitsch carved wood owl. What a hoot!! 😁 . . . . #wunderbarvintage #hobocameo #vintageemporium #myunit #vintagehomedecor #vintagehomewares #vintagekitsch #vintageglassware #colouredglass #carvedwood #woodenowl #owlstatue #unexpectedpleasures #unexpectedtreasures (at Hampstead Antique & Craft Emporium) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2zL8UJHxuA/?igshid=8shyt7fexcyy

Why I give strangers compliments:
Several years ago, I was in the passenger seat of my car driving around with my friend. It was a nice summer day and the windows were down. Just a really nice time. We pulled up to a light and I told him something true, but highly inappropriate. We both started laughing (me quite loudly and obnoxiously, as I'm wont to do), when I glance over to the car next to me. Driving it is a middle aged woman with a strange look on her face. Though I am in my own car, I immediately feel slightly embarrassed and the smile I give her is a little strained. She smiles back and says (and I'm paraphrasing here), "I was having a bad day, but your laugh made me smile." I beamed back, and waved goodbye as the light turned. I've always been self-conscious about EVERYTHING, and even in the middle of a wonderful day, it had struck again, until she said that.
To this day, I give random compliments all the time. Some people think it's weird, but it makes me feel good, and you never know when those compliments are really needed. Not preaching here at all. Don't do anything you aren't comfortable doing just because it makes a random stranger feel better. But sometimes people ask why I do this all the time, and this is why.

A Silent Hill nurse costume I whipped up for out-of-town festivities. Sporting it here as Nurse!Scotty at Rocky Horror in Asheville.
Sorry for the quiet! I do have a few pieces I've been working on, but it's been hard to get to them because I've been packing for a cross-country move! But since I have two Ghost concerts in a few days, you can expect a piece for that to be posted soon.

Agree, although high expectations aren't necessarily a bad thing either! #labelsandlove #labesaandloveonline #unexpectedpleasures

Without ever realising I was cold, suddenly there it was - this flame, burning brightly and pulling me into its delicious warmth. And just like that, my days had been reduced to an exercise in how not to end up scorched and crumpled at your feet.
