Hello SimRico and Nonny..

currently I am working on cloud formations and I think I have found a good way to do them using the oil pastels. If I am not to tired Ill work on a new picture featuring the house....

Ill try to upload an update soon...

Clouds are always tricky.  It depends greatly on the substrate's whiteness or otherwise.

Can hardly wait to see the new masterpiece!  Any of you guys noticing some non-functioning things on Simtrop? Example, I just 1+ M3 and Mr Moos's recent comments above this post, and all I see after adding a 1+ is a greyed-out icon with a number 1 in the middle.  Used to, we cold hover and get a list of all who 1+'d

ok the hover capability is back and the greyed icon is now green as before....but just noticed that my reply posted twice. will see if this is a Firefox Browser setting issue that's not refreshing my page after a save or send occur

I have this pro sometimes... i don't think its firefox.

Love to take all of the shots and blend into an animated file to show it building itself from the ground up.    And the "Nonny Clouds" are looking really good!  YOu are the crafts master!

[Mary Maurine Mayo 984]

Thanks SimRico... 

[SimRico 968]

Looks like things are on the upswing!  thats good.  Awwwe, you know, i used to LOVE that show Designing Women in the 90s i think. You know ihad NO idea some of them had died? and just heard about the guy who used to star in the show died like a day ago.   Sad  ,  Time flies doesnt it?

[Mary Maurine Mayo 984]

never watched that show but yea time does fly...

[SimRico 968]

[Mary Maurine Mayo 984]

[Mary Maurine Mayo 984]

Cloud is popular nowadays. Software companies can ensure a constant cash flow with more recurring services.

M² (ms martin) is correct, lol its true. Im a big OneDrive fan for all my graphics and presentations! Dont see microsoft going belly-up anytime soon so i feel safe for that service.

I see cloud computing of any kind as a privacy invasion.  They know who you are and have all your data.  Phooey.

Youve got a good point! I do only use it like photobucket, just to store graphics. Im sure they capture my computer location when uploading and my cellularbinfo when uploading from it.

One thing i dont do is back up any of my email contacts, personal photos, phonebooks, anything like that to some "cloud" server. My thing is if the Targets, Chasebanks, and other big corps can have breaches, lawd knows servers that may be sitting in "Joe the plumber's basement" is game for easy exposure.

Lol.....

You two makes my day!

SimRico, after your recent tragedy, we have to try to cheer you up.  So, while it is late, the whole crop was late this year.  How about a nice piece of strawberry shortcake with lots of gooey whipped topping and plenty of macerated strawberries?

 

I'd offer you Strawberries Romanoff, but I don't have enough crushed ice to fill the bowl underneath it.

[Mary Maurine Mayo 984]

If we made you smile we did our job.

i have the day off tomorrow so ill work on some stuff.

[Mary Maurine Mayo 984]

Been doing nail art latly..
