2010 YES!!! The "I'm so happy" thread.

[Ragged Robin]

I am thrilled that after two months the last pot of my Cyclamen seedlings are just emerging (thanks to a Forum Member) These include ones I have not grown before so I hope they continue to thrive - they seem to be happy on a north facing windowsill until next Spring and wonder if I should feed them?  The silver leafed C. hederifolium look lovely even so small and I am astonished how tall the C. graecum have grown - maybe I forced them to germinate too long in the dark?

Robin no wonder you are thrilled. That's pretty good. You must have got 100% sucsess by the looks of the first picture. Good luck growing your babies on.

Quick chuckle - I just did a search on the forum for Meconopsis punicea and was asked if I'd meant to search for 'menopause's panacea.' Perhaps I should have done.

That's Google for you; reads your mind and disregards your typing.

That beats me being asked if I meant Ferrari when I was looking for Ferraria

McMark, very best of luck. In a world that is full of negativity you must do all you can to remain positive. I'm sure you have lots to offer in any field you care to choose. As the Romans used to say (OK, so maybe they didn't  ) nils illigitimus carborundum.

Gosh! A good Scottish (OK, Hungarian) stag to start off. Excellent! I could live with him - and her, oh, and them!

Erika, marvelous paintings: they're bold, dramatic, uplifting with an air of confidence and movement, a true expression of paint.  The field of Iris is captivating, hard to stop staring... fully expecting the blooms to start swaying in a gentle breeze at any moment. And I keep finding myself looking to the left, wondering who or what is beyond the canvass.  I love the colors, composition, and interpretive expression in each.  Thanks for sharing.

Thanks everyone for your support.  If I do manage to land a job prospect, I'll report back in, as my SRGC visitations will be far fewer once I've rejoined the rat-race and regained a ponderous daily commute.

McMark,

I can't even use that excuse for my tardiness...... I have maybe 10 minutes each way to my job, and only that long with bad traffic or stop lights.   I just find that after at least 8 hours on my feet all day (literally), 4 days a week,  I am very slack at computing, and my days off tend to be spent recovering, or where possible gardening. 

Good luck to you with finding a job, and you to Mark S.  Fingers and everything are crossed for you both.

Thank you! And thank you for Anthony and everybody
I have never learn to draw or paint, just do it - some is turn out good, some not
I just making them for my pleasure

[Ragged Robin]

Erika, what a wonderful start to the grey day seeing your magical paintings - you have a unique style conjuring up mystical thoughts full of depth and colour contrasting the bold with the delicate - thanks so much for sharing them 

[angie]

Erika those are wonderful paintings we must have a lot of good artists here on our forum. I can't draw let alone paint, well maybe I can paint a wall  I have one of Ian Young's painting which I love. I do love the stag picture I really like how you have painted the grass and the flowers in this picture. You are a very talented lady.

Good luck with your lovely paintings, Erica. The Irises are my favourite.
Paddy, don't blame google this time, it was our own dear forum!
