Friday Catch Up - 22nd August 2025


I drew this orangutan for a lino print but then changed my mind about doing it. All the black areas are the parts that are not removed from the lino.
Doodlewash - I've done a couple of watercolour paintings but not many of the prompts 'grabbed' me enough to do more.
16. Pineapple

26. Lemon, 28. Bowtie, 29. Peach

I've been looking after Molly this week, she's getting old and struggles to walk sometimes, poor thing.

Photo Challenges
greetings from Staithes, another lovely village on the East coast of Yorkshire, England






Flower of the Day [no idea what it is called]

That's all today, I do have more photos of Staithes which I'll share next time.
Enjoy your week!

  7. Could the plant be Woodland Sage?
    Staithes looks very picturesque. I wonder what it's like in winter...?
    Maybe the prompts did not grab you, but you let the mermaid and the penguin grab a lot of fruit.

    1. Actually I found out that the plant is called Agastache. I've not been to Staithes in winter, probably very cold.

  12. I love that orangutan Lino print. I often do my Christmas cards by using a hand carved Lino motif, but mine aren't as intricate as yours. The mermaid and Pinguin are so cute. Happy FFO! Arnoldo+ @ https://arnoldolromero.blogspot.com/2025/08/reach-out-to-others.html
