Painting a very conventional picture

Yes, I did this one, WIP, a landscape where J and i like to take walks. The bristles of my brush yearn to wallow in vibrant colours. But my p-i-l don't have a sense for abstract art. And they won't see this before Xmas, they don't have internet access.
On the shelf beside the clock: Yes, it's my husband making a funny face.
No sign of daylight today, even at noon. It is raining unceasingly, and the creek is well-filled.
Not a sign of snow either, and I'm not eager to have any. My dh has to drive to work every day, and he is not really happy if he has to drive on icy streets.

Trying out the New Car

In the afternoon, we rode to a river valley near our home where we love to walk. As it was around 2 pm, there was hardly anyone on the narrow paths that lead along the water. It was rather dark, and there was no wind, not very cold. Difficult to take photos. But I really have to show you this beautiful scene and the villa of some rich people.
