So, after two weeks in America, we're back and into a new month. Without further ado, here's October's Facebook postings (another month of 5 weekends).
First, for Watercolor Sundays on Facebook in October 2016:
October 2 (photo manipulation):
"I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers."
--L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables
October 9 (photo manipulation):
"I've always done things the hard way. I was born like a piece of tangled yarn.
The job is trying to untangle it, and I'll probably go on doing it for the rest of my life."
--Karen Allen
October 16 (photo manipulation):
"Clearly the person who accepts the Church as an infallible guide
will believe whatever the Church teaches." --Thomas Aquinas
October 23 (photo manipulation):
"It is smarter to borrow from nature than to reinvent the wheels."
--Philip Emeagwali
October 30 (photo manipulation):
The witches fly
Across the sky,
The owls go. "Who? Who? Who?"
The black cats yowl
And green ghosts howl,
"Scary Halloween to you!"
--Nina Willis Walter

My Saturday's Color posts on Facebook for October 2016:

As you'd guess, there's loads of Celtic influence all over England, so posting this two-page design
from my Book of Kells book seems appropriate. We're now back in Bath (from 4 days in Cornwall),
returning home to the Netherlands tomorrow.

From my Prismatic Design book, let's just say I'm trying new colors together.

Here's another design from my Vintage Patterns book.
This is one of the rare times I actually used black as one of my colors,
to fill in some of the spaces. May want to do that more often?

This may be the easiest (adult) design I have ever colored, period,
making me realize yet again that sometimes less is more.
From my Kaleido Color book on black-background paper.

This design is from a new Mandala coloring book bought a month ago in the Netherlands,
a gift from Astrid. As you'd guess, new coloring books are like Christmas for me. :)
And now I'm back to processing my American photos before going back to our England trip.
It's a never-ending story, but, as I often tell Astrid, I see it as my day-time job.
It was a beautiful month! Love your colour choices!
ReplyDeleteThanks a million, Marie.
DeleteI agree with Marie, especially the last Mandala!
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear sister!
DeleteAlways a joy to see all the watercolours and the colourings together. I love the two witches, how appropriate for the time of the year.
ReplyDeleteWe had a great time in the USA and I know the pictures will follow.

Thank you, Astrid. It's good to see a month's collection of both at a time. It helps to give me perspective. HA! And yes, many pictures will follow.... :)
DeleteWow... lovely paintings - those clogs in the corner take the cake.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Haddock, for stopping by and commenting here.
Deletei like that kalaido book with black background, may try and find it... and i love your pic and the anne of green gables quote.. October is a great month isn't it? and the church is not a great place to learn lol welcome home, dear friend...
ReplyDeleteThank you, Elaine. It's always good to come back home. And it's fun for me to see an entire month at a time when I compile it like this.
DeleteYou saved the best for last! What a gorgeous mandala! Well done!
ReplyDeleteHow kind of you, Robin. THANK YOU.
DeleteHow do you have time to accomplish so much!!??
