I have eaten well today. Half a plate of fries and 2 meat pies and now have a fresh brewed coffee.

I’m actually still pretty full at the moment.

All while watching the grand final.

Glaze took 5-6 hours to process 4 small images on medium and just returned an error on my favourite one... Fuckkkk. But I can post the landscapes now (as late as it is). The picture of Melbcat can be posted tomorrow.

Keep in mind that while I did traditional art as a kid I've been art blocked for a long time. I'm also new to digital, this was done on a phone screen half the size of a hanky and also in the first few weeks of having the app. So I was and am still learning to use it. (If this post is still being weird - there are three pieces of art.)

Blue Mountain

This is the chronological first one. It's so intensely blue because it's meant to be at the 'blue hour' of dawn or dusk. I like the colours I randomly picked by eye but it's overall it's a bit dark to see well at smaller sizes. Opening it in a new tab helps.

Spring Morning Hill

I don't like these colours as much. I picked from a premade palette and the colours are a little samey. It's early morning and breezes are kicking up hayfevery pollen.

Desert Cactus

Same deal, premade palette. To be honest this was just done acting on a simple piece of advice for breaking art block. "Draw a cactus."

Digging the Spring Hill.

Others are good too, but that one gives me video game vibes.

Nice work

Welp, my day is ruined and my disappointment is immeasurable.

AaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I don't enjoy knowing hot weather is coming. I do not like the sweaty time of year.

[–] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago

I'm not a fan of either summer or winter. I prefer to focus on enjoying the in-between times in autumn and spring and not dragging them down by focussing on weather I don't like.

I actually own a Collingwood scarf from back when I used to watch the game with my best mate and his family who were Collingwood diehards, it was more fun to follow with them. Especially when they won a grand final and we all got real REAL drunk and sang and cried and hugged. It was a good time. I haven't seen him or them for about 9 years. I should really get rid of the scarf because I feel nothing that they won just now.

I was given a very expensive type of Collingwood memorabilia and I gave it away knowing that person absolutely would love it and not sell it.

Happy Game Day people. Should be interesting with the wind picking up.

[–] Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

No one realises this but either way dentists still win.

My glutes and calves are on fire from yesterday's hike.

Can barely make it to the fridge for beer refills

Ooh we get another day of weekend tomorrow. Even if it is slightly shorter than usual. It feels like Sunday night BUT ITS NOT!!

[–] Grackle@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago (4 children)

How much longer until the game is over? I've had to close my 3 out of 4 of my windows to block out the screaming from a few houses down but I really need the breeze 😭

I tried this drink

And I have to say very nice. Nice beer with a hint of passionfruit. I may get a little sloshed.
