Hallelujah!! I can post again.

After a week of tearing my hair out and just about going stark, staring mad, I am once again able to post my work. The problem has been computer viruses, spyware, malware and whatever else seems to infest this technological, mind-bending minefield - MY COMPUTER!!!! Apart dropping a few EC's and making the odd comment, I've not been able to do any internet dependant work.
Well, I seem to have it beat (for the moment) and the computer is now running at its previous (not actually that fast) speed.
To celebrate, I am posting one of my wife Maeve's colourful works.


Out of the desert
Mixed media on watercolour paper
8 1/4" x 11 3/4"

I think she got the idea after watching a television programme on Egypt.
If you are interested in purchasing this, it is available on ebay

Glad you are back up and sorry to hear about the viruses etc. That is one of the many reasons I use a MAC...non of these problems!


Love your work especially this one.

Ditto to what BW said.. get yourself a MAC and all those problems go away. Then you can concentrate on your work! Enjoy your art and your blog, BTW.
