WHAT'S not ON MY WORKDESK THIS WEDNESDAY

What's not on my workdesk this Wednesday

is Arizona blueberry white tea

because it was guzzled in record time

I kind of figured if I skulled it and didn't look at the calories thingy at the back 

then I could pretend it was relatively healthy

this is in fact the diet equivalent of putting your fingers in your ears 

and humming loudly

but hey works for me

and the bottle is now residing in the recycle bin

not before I got in and drew and painted it mind

but it was just screaming to be immortalised

so while not on my desk in person at the moment

the painting means it remains in spirit at least

Also not on my desk

the A Tea C's for the swap with Sandra

which I finally got in the post

it took way too long

and I wish I had a great excuse

but can't quite come up with one at the moment

so lets just pretend I sent it a week or so ago 

and that Australia Post is really really slow...

My desk is also printer free

and I even have some room for folders I use all the time

and a diary

which I of course never use

but like to use as a paperweight to hold down scraps of paper

which hold important things and dates and reminders

which would be better in the diary

but where is the fun in that...

So the printer is now over here

along with some of my treasures

and it is over here

 because

The studio is finally finished

well the outward appearance is finished

there are still some scary draws

but I will get to them soon

Lots of pics and the story is in the previous post

I was going to save it for the weekly desk stalk

but I couldn't wait

so posted about it yesterday

Also not on my desk is a finished painting of a peony

which I really really wanted to have finished for today

but instead it is only part of the way along

which I blame on everything but me

so my submission for the Monthly Painter's Challenge

is a photo

which feels like kind of a cop out

and the topic was Micro/macro

which did my head in

and I was going to paint the Peony

but then I decided a rose would be my subject

after seeing these glorious apricot roses at the florist

and I tried to paint this a million times

okay at least three times

and every time it didn't come close to the photo I took

so I decided the photo would be it...

Hope everyone has an amazing Wednesday 

and head over to WOYWW

hosted by the lovely Julia

to stalk some desks with me

I have missed it terribly in the last few weeks

due to the untimely death of my modem, Murray

so can't wait to have a nose around 

and see what everyone has been up to...xx
