Oil on canvas. A large one!

#Painting #artyear #abstractart

Hard to describe! But an oil painting on large canvas - the background moves from ultramarine to pastel pinks to cerulean and then cobalt ish blue. The foreground is individual multicolour swirls with simple multicolour fish in amongst them.

I pointed out they were in fact both right in that case.
They then told me they have a lot of these sort of disagreements and maybe need to pause and think about where they are literally or metaphorically standing when they happen. Instead of point scoring.
Morning philosophy for you right there.

My dad and his partner had a disagreement last night about which side of the bed he sleeps on. They were both adamant they were right and got quite heated.
Eventually I asked them both where they were envisioning themselves in this scenario
Dad: in bed
Trish: standing at the foot looking at you

No such thing as ‘gifted’. Practice. Develop the skills. Enjoy the process. x

Omg what have I never clocked this? 🤣

Not quite blue or macro but this is the first time I’ve seen a sea urchin washed up on Scarborough beach. Or any beach. Beautiful. Alien.

ICYMI: More than 80% of women in theatre have experienced a female-specific health issue that has made their job harder, according to research that calls for urgent action to address the stigma around conditions such as menopause and miscarriage 👇

I feel like that’s all anyone talks about tbh. What is extraordinary is that it happened and it continues.

This current American presidential administration is run by people who are quite obviously mentally ill, and we need to start talking about that.

Some forest bathing today 😊💚
I have a lot on my mind (don’t we all?!) but this always always helps. These trees were here before me and will probably outlast us all. It helps. #autumnmagic #forestbathing #selfcare #bloomscrolling #canopy #eastcoastkin #wellbeing #

Something to celebrate (makes second cup of tea) 🙌🏼

NEW: Something remarkable happened recently and hardly anyone noticed – GB electricity demand was 100% covered by clean power

We took a look at the data and this has happened for a record 87 hours in 2025 to date, twice as often as ever before

Detail will be important but this is an important announcement. Since Osborne’s abolition of grants we’ve had the invidious situation where the poorest students have been getting more indebted than richer ones, who are supported by parents.

Targeted maintenance grants for students to be reintroduced

Disadvantaged students studying priority courses will benefit from extra financial support to access and excel in higher education.

Have a lovely day Susan. And TJ asks for prompting me to go out into the garden and take some snaps. Love autumn.

My name is Lizi Patch and I’m a Lebkuchen Heartaholic.

(And Lidl are enabling my addiction by selling these waaaaay before Xmas)

My hand holding a packet of Lebkuchen Hearts. Milk chocolate and Apricot.
God they’re so so so good.

Lizi Patch @lizipatch.bsky.social · 21d

Ye same. But we don’t know the facts. This was just a fun Bluesky post. And also ‘toeing the line or else’ opened doors to all sorts of misuse of parental ‘power’ in my experience. Respect has to be earnt.

Haha my questions are less accusatory- I just think it has the beginnings of a good tv drama 😁
