But you know, I’ve got it figured out. Grapes isn’t sick. No no no. This is just a cover. She’s actually helping Santa …It’s getting awfully close to Christmas. Pressure is on. Probably wrapping up the presents.
You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can’t fool Paintboss!

Okay, okay I give up I can't fool you PaintBoss. I will reveal my secret as you figured it out already. Look what I found today at Santa's workshop

 

[PaintBoss]

Lol. I knew it!
Doctor saying we’re having a lot of bad bugs going around here right now.My husband has pneumonia right now. He’s not coughing. He doesn’t sound particularly full of phlegm. Doesn’t seem feverish. One lung is affected. He’s just super exhausted, so he has to take time off work for that. I’m fighting a little of the original bug whatever he has- we will see how that goes. Trying to do more to help ease his load. Of course, just in time for Christmas!
Grapes I hope the fever stops soon.

Cute and happy looking gnome there sitting in your tree.
Oh no, pneumonia doesn't sound good, I hope he recovers soon. My husband had it last yr and he was so sick, one month in sick leave. Thanks, Christine!

Grapes, beautiful Christmas cactus and hyacinth flower. Your cat reminds me of ours who thinks wrapping presents is a game. I finally had to put him in another room so I could finish.
Christine, so sorry to hear your husband is not well. Such a worry before Christmas. Your gnome looks super cute tucked in the tree.
I panted this glass ornament to see if I could make it look inverted. Another memory from childhood as we had this type on our tree.

 

[Grapes]

Sannlyn, thanks! The Christmas ball is lovely memory! Is it painted with gouache or water color? Kitties like to play and participate to every shiny & crumpling task.

 

[Grapes]

Sanlynn, sorry I keep writing your name wrong.

 

[PaintBoss]

You did a great job on that ornament Sanlynn. It does look inverted and the reflections are lovely too.

More beautiful, festive work from you talented people!
Grapes, I hope this means you’re up and around and feeling much better.
Christine, I’m so sorry your husband is ill. You both deserve a break and I hope he recovers quickly.

 

[PaintBoss]

Thank you Donna I hope he recovers quickly and I hope I don’t get it. It would be quite terrible with my health conditions and asthma. Crossing my fingers.

 

[JaneS]

I hope everyone recovers quickly. There’s a lot of nasty flu viruses around in the UK now.

I’ll add my Father Christmas to the thread.

 

[PaintBoss]

Thanks Jane. Tis the season for nasty colds etc.
Oh I love your Santa. Lol He’s great!

 

[Donna T]

He’s adorable, Jane!

 

[Grapes]

Donna, thanks I'm doing much better now, was trying to paint today but it didn't work out.

JaneS, your Father Christmas is handsome looking! Well done!

PB, a yr back when my husband had pneumonia I didn't get it. I hope you stay healthy.

This is older work, an oil painting on canvas. 15x11 in (38x28 cm) It's my cat's Christmas Hat + practicing shiny metal balls. She did wear that hat today.

Thanks for your well wishes. I am sitting here, sick now….no fever yet. Next to no voice. Head feels heavy and sore and body aches. Hopefully it won’t settle in my lungs. Unusually for someone who’s asthmatic I’ve never had a lot of problems with bronchitis or pneumonia. Thank goodness!

 

[Grapes]

Christine, oh no, so sorry to hear. That's how I was on the weekend and part of this week but I think I'm on recovery.
Take care! Hugs!

 

[PaintBoss]

Grapes, I am sitting here wishing I could add more emoji’s to your post!
Absolutely stunning piece! Wow, Wow, Wow!!!! I am impressed!

 

[PaintBoss]

Glad you’re feeling better! Hopefully it won’t be too bad here.
I’m looking at your piece again, I just love that you kept the texture in the white.

 

[Grapes]

Thanks, Christine, you are very kind!
