I often feel finding the time to paint is at a premium so sadly the time has come and since I can now share a blog on my website that is what I've decided to do. Not really sure if there are still anyone following this blog but if you are then I would be more than happy if you would keep visiting the blog on my website at <a href="http://elizabethmccrindle.com">elizabethmccrindle.com</a> <p></p><p>If you decide to look in please say hello I'd love to hear from you and thanking for looking in over the years...Adieu!</p>Elizabeth McCrindlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11757752273783445575noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466818066818822123.post-26635822430612370532021-06-28T22:53:00.007+01:002021-06-28T22:53:59.684+01:00Sly Old Fox<p> <span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Last night around this time I noticed the sly old fox making it's way home so tonight I went into the bedroom to see if he might be there. I was in the process of photographing the beautiful sky, and the distant Arran when I saw him coming from the left. Only managed a couple of half decent photos as the light was going. then he surprised me by stopping to eat whatever it was he had and then started back towards me. Couldn't get a shot because the grass is going to seed and was hiding him. He had something else in his mouth when he came back again but didn't get a photo of him as he was moving faster...it's the same old guy I've been photographing as he hasn't got a full brush. He was only himself tonight normally there are two of them, guess he went back for something for the missus.</span></p><p><span style="color: #050505; font-family: Segoe UI Historic, Segoe UI, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--lGt9fFgiRc/YNpEhQpORgI/AAAAAAAAP2M/yTfbi1-1vvkL1bBrxXf_g4esqoLx16StwCLcBGAsYHQ/s800/356.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--lGt9fFgiRc/YNpEhQpORgI/AAAAAAAAP2M/yTfbi1-1vvkL1bBrxXf_g4esqoLx16StwCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/356.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RMexHVOFTiI/YNpEhFRSaOI/AAAAAAAAP2I/C0kQY_mmJWM9HGKE_uZTGH8no12LwkS0ACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/355.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RMexHVOFTiI/YNpEhFRSaOI/AAAAAAAAP2I/C0kQY_mmJWM9HGKE_uZTGH8no12LwkS0ACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/355.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-K2UGh2lc8Jg/YNpEgwuLJEI/AAAAAAAAP2A/rh7FKs8kZxAfM1bYOYpspr7j7mehqA_eACLcBGAsYHQ/s800/354.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-K2UGh2lc8Jg/YNpEgwuLJEI/AAAAAAAAP2A/rh7FKs8kZxAfM1bYOYpspr7j7mehqA_eACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/354.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GbaIJwM4h_0/YNpEglmBQeI/AAAAAAAAP2E/Na1vy0J_9-MazUFqTCyv8Sn5734lWPpzwCLcBGAsYHQ/s800/353.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GbaIJwM4h_0/YNpEglmBQeI/AAAAAAAAP2E/Na1vy0J_9-MazUFqTCyv8Sn5734lWPpzwCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/353.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p>Elizabeth McCrindlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11757752273783445575noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466818066818822123.post-54891510935140769252021-06-28T12:22:00.000+01:002021-06-28T12:22:05.061+01:00"Study of a Golden Eye"<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dX2VO5XKItM/YNmv_619g_I/AAAAAAAAP14/gBy7_GOP1H0CTVuMZqrgst097Z5kNHjlQCLcBGAsYHQ/s612/study-of-a-golden-eye.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="612" data-original-width="550" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dX2VO5XKItM/YNmv_619g_I/AAAAAAAAP14/gBy7_GOP1H0CTVuMZqrgst097Z5kNHjlQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/study-of-a-golden-eye.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">"Study of a Golden Eye"</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Artist's own collection</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee; color: #1e1e1e; font-family: Questrial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">"A lovely horse is always an experience...

Sammy Seagull sits on the chimney stack next door making a racket and generally annoying Buddy. Cut the grass at the back garden, trimmed edges did a little weeding and sat on the summer seat for a bit. Birds weren't best pleased as I have to take the feeders down so as I don't get caught up in them. They were on them like locust the minute they went back up. The photo of the wee Sparrow on the feeder was empty and she was looking as much to say excuse me but there's nothing in this one. It's pretty much dark now outside now. There's some cloud so don't know if the you can see the Moon, I can't see from where I'm sitting so I'll close with a good night all...</span></p><p><span face="Segoe UI Historic, Segoe UI, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #050505;"><span style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span><span face=""Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Av0NiWDFhXU/YNEbpuBatjI/AAAAAAAAP1E/PeAR_ztnNAQOWx80wCuLY10cDDZ3Wj9GQCLcBGAsYHQ/s800/334.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Av0NiWDFhXU/YNEbpuBatjI/AAAAAAAAP1E/PeAR_ztnNAQOWx80wCuLY10cDDZ3Wj9GQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/334.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ezeYbfKJhII/YNEbpl9C0qI/AAAAAAAAP1A/yBtwDgC-dxI17awqfquDzYfQaIWkCUIkACLcBGAsYHQ/s1067/333.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="800" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ezeYbfKJhII/YNEbpl9C0qI/AAAAAAAAP1A/yBtwDgC-dxI17awqfquDzYfQaIWkCUIkACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/333.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Oz8aOHAsIl0/YNEbpRY8NFI/AAAAAAAAP08/g5-9iLf7HuInOata57sIriB91dVD8KCNQCLcBGAsYHQ/s800/332.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Oz8aOHAsIl0/YNEbpRY8NFI/AAAAAAAAP08/g5-9iLf7HuInOata57sIriB91dVD8KCNQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/332.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0iL7Lo2ZxzU/YNEbouOd8UI/AAAAAAAAP0w/JcZ9CwE8mNEDpSucLAX5i1SL-YG8tnsyQCLcBGAsYHQ/s800/331.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0iL7Lo2ZxzU/YNEbouOd8UI/AAAAAAAAP0w/JcZ9CwE8mNEDpSucLAX5i1SL-YG8tnsyQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/331.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uvN71qsw8VE/YNEbommY4EI/AAAAAAAAP04/k1ndtSngl9MqkoJUILvRBki2vVPsssqKwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1067/330.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="800" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uvN71qsw8VE/YNEbommY4EI/AAAAAAAAP04/k1ndtSngl9MqkoJUILvRBki2vVPsssqKwCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/330.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zKVSY0E5E5I/YNEbogoAKcI/AAAAAAAAP00/np8bvRsyd5cNaegF0Nkphkc2SWzAihT_QCLcBGAsYHQ/s800/329.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zKVSY0E5E5I/YNEbogoAKcI/AAAAAAAAP00/np8bvRsyd5cNaegF0Nkphkc2SWzAihT_QCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/329.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kIgZH1dTSG0/YNEbXNpzePI/AAAAAAAAP0o/Q5v-yO09HnQSsEVmpq814T3pFXfdClf0QCLcBGAsYHQ/s800/328.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kIgZH1dTSG0/YNEbXNpzePI/AAAAAAAAP0o/Q5v-yO09HnQSsEVmpq814T3pFXfdClf0QCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/328.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.elizabethmccrindle.com">www.elizabethmccrindle.com</a></div><br /><p></p>Elizabeth McCrindlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11757752273783445575noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466818066818822123.post-55227084092173064242021-06-14T23:56:00.004+01:002021-06-15T00:47:22.833+01:00June half way through already<p> Well May seems to have rushed past guess I've had plenty to keep me occupied and now we are half way through June. Weather started warm but these past few days have been a little chilly, that said I'm not really overly fond of hot temps. It's been good just potter in the garden adding things here and there. Not a lot of art being created but my mind is over loaded with ideas...they'll come out eventually.</p><p>Meanwhile my trusty camera has been getting plenty exercise so for now I'll share some scenes from my wee part of Scotland.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Saw it yesterday sitting on my window ledge and it didn't look too good. Half expected to find it dead this morning and had a look round the garden but couldn't see it. Then just after lunch went to put something in the bin and Buddy ran into the corner at the hedge. It was sitting snuggled in at one of the big stones. Was worried one of the visiting cats would get it so went and got my gloves and lifted it and put it in an old seed tub and put some seed down but it wouldn't take it. Sat the lid on top and left space for air. Checked it a few times during the afternoon but at around 4.30 when I looked it had slept gently away. Wrapped it in a cloth and buried it in my garden waste. Such pretty birds they love the cherry blossom tree at the top of the garden and congregate there for a chatter during the day, it will be missed...</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span face=""Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 15px;">Thanks for looking...Elizabeth</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span face=""Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.elizabethmccrindle.com">http://www.elizabethmccrindle.com</a><br /></div><br /> <p></p>Elizabeth McCrindlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11757752273783445575noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466818066818822123.post-77393642326350924672020-10-12T23:30:00.005+01:002020-10-12T23:38:12.753+01:00"Dazzling Tide" Acrylic 12" x 12" £465<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="www.elizabethmccrindle.com" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="776" data-original-width="781" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EFgj2wu8mrk/X4TWSHtzB_I/AAAAAAAAPsA/DoP_OAReQHkNkEd9H8kIgFhqEoknY2NqACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/Dazzling%2BTide.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">"Dazzling Tide"</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Acrylic</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">12" x 12"</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">£465</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Took this one down to the Framework Gallery in Troon on Saturday for framing and once framed it will be available from the gallery.

I think of this painting as my lock down painting as shortly after it was delivered to the gallery (Framework Gallery) for a client the galleries were asked to go into lock down. I hope it has given it's new owners much pleasure and at least something pleasing to look at over this period.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">This was the first painting I sold when 'pages' were introduced onto Facebook. It was a wee autumn lamb standing in a field at the top of Dundonald Hill. Have sold a few since but I'm not really a good sales person. Thank goodness for the galleries that represent me, they do all the hard work and I'm so glad for them that they will be able to open their door's...albeit tentatively after the 29th.</span></div>

This little painting has not been exhibited anywhere yet as it was created during this lock down period. Although I have plenty images to work from one thing I have missed, is not being able to visit the beach. Now that the Scottish Government is into phase two of lock down I can hopefully take a drive down to the beach soon. I miss that salt air stinking my cheeks. The Galleries have also got the go ahead to open on the 29th which must be a huge relief for them, though strict safety restrictions will still be in place its a start in the right direction.</div>

Charlie was a commission piece I had no problem accepting. I've known his Dad all my life and it was one of Ernie's daughters that asked if I would paint him. Charlie took ill a few weeks ago and his family had to make the sad decision to say goodbye. He lived not far from me and I've basically seen him bound out into the playing field in front of my home for every day of his life.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I hope his portrait will continue to give some comfort in the years to come though nothing will replace the love and joy Charlie gave his family.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Been quite a while since I've written on here and there's every chance that anyone who used to follow has found other path's. I've had a page on facebook which I've enjoyed creating but find facebook hard going now. So busy you can almost hear everyone talking through each other and definately way too much politics. I always enjoyed the peace and calm on here so thought I would pop back in.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Another cold but sunny morning for our walk. This time we took the Springside end of our country walk and we walked a bit further than we have of late. Grabbing some extra time outside while it's still good. Seeing the Ford sign took me back to when I had my horses. The path in those days wasn't as well cared for. In fact the Springside end was pretty overgrown in places and flooded in areas during the Winter month's. There wasn't the bridge over the burn that there is now. I</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">t was a single width metal bridge which didn't cater for horses, they had to cross the burn which had banks on both sides. First time I crossed it with Rio she went down the bank no problem but panicked once she was in the water, slipped and I was out the side door. Fortunately the water wasn't very deep but it was freezing, dirty and smelly. Rio shot up the bank on the other side and I was having visions of her taking off along the path and ending up on the road at Springside. But when I looked up the bank she had turned and was looking down at me as if to say where did you go. Fortunately she never did it again and these days there's a larger wooden bridge in place for people and cyclist's and a concrete slab crosses the burn for horses. When I think about it I'm sure she had a wee twinkle in her eye when she looked down that bank at me...smile!</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Really was a glorious morning but a wee bit nippy on the fingers. No going back now the big sleep has started. Walking through the trees you could actually hear the leaves breaking off and falling. Have to say I appreciated the lighter morning with the clock's having gone back an hour. Though I'm not so fond off the smooth path surface when the frost starts, even this morning there were some slippy areas that caught you out. This brittle old body doesn't bounce as well as it used too. I preferred it when the path wasn't quite so smooth and there was some grip underfoot, no doubt this surface is to accommodate the cyclists...</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Nice walk this morning but you can feel the damp chill as October is almost half way through. Everything is starting to look a little tired in the hedgerows and the trees are all on the change. The dew was hanging on the hawthorn berries making them sparkle, it was as if each berry had a diamond attached. Those are the sight's that make my day and makes me wish that everyone realised just how precious nature is, or listening to geese this morning chattering to each other. Bands of them were taking off while others were arriving, like friends meeting up for a gathering. When I got back to the car I put Buddy in and then walked up to the bridge to get a photo of the path I had just walked. Beautiful.</span><br />

Poppy and River belong to friends sister and she commissioned me to paint them for a special birthday her sister was going to celebrate. By all accounts the paintings went down well at the birthday party.</div>
