Dresden Porcelain Plate.

WOW, I've had a great day today. I received a 'phone call last night from my girlfriend in Wallaroo to say she and her daughter were coming over to see me for the day today. Wallaroo is just over 100 kms from Clare, so we only get to see each other every couple of months.
We went out for a great 3 course lunch, and then drove all around the town and outskirts, and were amazed at all of the new homes that have gone up or are going up everywhere. It's just amazing how you can live in a town, but you really only get to see your own area, the shopping area, and any streets that you need to drive through to get to see friends or rellies -- the rest of the town remains an unknown story. And the best part of it all was that I wasn't driving, which is most unusual, so I got a really good chance to take everything in. We made our way to the Main Street to have afternoon tea (after such a huge lunch!!), but we decided to make it a decadent day, which really doesn't happen too often. We sat for the rest of the afternoon over cappucinos and goodies and reminisced way back to the dinosaur days. My girlfriend and her daughter are both former Clare residents too, so our roots go way back in time in this gorgeous town in which I live. Our great fun day came to an end about 5 p.m. when Margaret and Sue headed for home. I hope it's not too long before we do it again.

I thought I'd post a photo of a 10" Porcelain Plate I painted with a Dresden design on it. I thoroughly enjoyed painting this one, and I do love the beautiful Dresden designs, which are European -- Dresden being a German city. Hope you enjoy looking at it.
