Monster Monday

 Welcome to 
I'm sorry about yesterday. We had a family emergency that sent us out of town. I'm hoping all will turn out OK. 
It isn't with me or Mr. M. Thank the gods. In addition thank you all for your good wishes
 
Also, It's my birthday.
Yep, 74 and still kickin'.
 
These monsters are very grotesque so for those of you who like the pretties scan on down quickly.
  



Now for some pretties.

 


Here is the thoughtful grandmas
 

And for those of you who like flowers
 

That's it for now
Have a nice Monday
 Nicole

I must confess, the thoughtful grandmas are more my speed, lol. Glad you and Mr M are okay, and I hope the family emergency turns out well for all concerned.

The pretties are always my favorite. The grandmas sitting by the water are nice and I like the flowers. I want to spend more time sketching flowers. I did my first watercolor painting of a single pink rose for Mother's Day for my mom. I'm ready to do more now! Be well and have a good week, darlin'! xo

As for the Monster Monday lineup... wow! You weren't kidding about the grotesque factor. Those are some truly haunting creatures, the kind that make you appreciate the "pretties" at the end even more.
