Doesn't the time fly by!
Here we are in the middle of May and the building work is struggling on. I will be glad when we can start to remove the final bits of the roof and resume the truss building etc. Now we are hurriedly trying to finish of the one room that we are transferring the goods and chattles to. Mr B goes to Inverness for a week on Sunday for a course so I have been left with the task of staining doors and filling screw heads with gyproc.
We have been progressing fairly well but time seems to get the better of you and things that seem to be easy jobs take far too long, our only hope is that we can do it all before the winds come again. I couldn't face another winter with a temporary roof.
I have been trying to relax a little and have been attending Art Class at Pat Hazzeldine Studio on the island. Its a chance for a cuppa a chat and a lot of fun working with different mediums
Here is a piece that I did this week

I'm no art expert, but I know what I like, and your masterpieces, are very pleasing on the eye, are you planning on doing a Muriel on one of your walls?

Hey Deb! Jus been havin a nose at all yer pics! - Its like another world up there at barebraes!! - Cant wait for the hoosewarmin! :) ps your paintings are beautiful!! - just started lookin at my drawing mags!! (shame on me!) x
Cheryl from Kirkwall
Taking a bit of time out to give your latent creative skills an airing, eh? Good for you - a bit of balance in your hard-working life! When the internal walls are all jointed, filled and flat you'll have plenty of space for hanging your finished work. Are you going to offer any work for sale? There are a few walls chez Chopper that could do with a finishing touch! Keep up the good work, the pair of you - I'm still hugely impressed with your achievements. xx
chopper from braintree
Your pictures are really beautiful, I have been to visit "Granny Pat" once and the island equally is fantastic.Good luck with all your hose buildings, having kept an eye on the blog its really changing. Say Hi from Becks next time you see Pat.!
Becks from Sussex
Thanks for your comments re the paintings. I have used water colour for the first painting with charcoals and the second is water colour and water colour pencils too. Becks I will say hi to Pat on Thursday for you. Shes a wonderful lady
Barebraes from Shapinsay
Barebraes, could you say hi to pat from me too, I don't know her, but if she is that wonderful the least I should do is say hi, albeit through yourself, I'm not too late am I ?
Tws from A Different World
Tws I am sure that Aunty Pat would love to say hi to you too and you are a little late but I will see her next Thursday if thats ok.
Barebraes from Shapinsay
Great pics- really liked the first one. Try using larger brushes to free up and expand your style.
