Day 02- The meaning behind your Blog name

It's not really hard to guess the meaning behind my blog name. Keeping it nice and simple!

I am taking part in a recipe exchange and going to post all the recipes I get. Here is the first one I got from Erena which sounds yummy!

SUMMER PUDDING TOAST

4 punnets mixed berries (redcurrants, raspberries, blueberries)
125g sugar
250g strawberries, stems removed and halved
6 slices brioche

Pick over the punnets of fruit, removing  any stems or leaves. Put the berries in a saucepan with 60ml water and the sugar. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer gently for about 8 minutes. Put the halved strawberries in a bowl and press the cooked fruit syrup through a sieve over the strawberries. Let stand for at least 30 minutes, then chill or leave overnight in the fridge. When ready to serve, toast the brioche and spoon the fruit syrup over each slice, arranging the strawberries over the top. Serve with a sprinkling of icing sugar, sugar-dusted mint leaves and thick double cream.

I love going to the mailbox and finding goodies in it, yesterday I got sent cards from the Artist Trading Card swap, here they are...

Art Every Day Month Day 13 - Basic Colour Theory

An understanding of the basics of colour theory is essential for every artist and increases the possibilities for your work. Colours are, after all, one of the basic tools of painting. Here are some of the things I have learnt. The Colour Wheel Most color wheels are based on three primary colours, three secondary colours, and the six intermediates formed by mixing a primary with a secondary, known as tertiary colours, for a total of 12 main divisions; some add more intermediates, for 24 named colors like this one.  Primary colours:  Are the three colours that cannot be created by mixing other colours together  - red, yellow, and blue. Secondary colours:  A secondary colour is made by mixing two primary colours together: red and yellow to get orange, yellow and blue to get green, or red and blue to get purple. The secondary colour depends on the proportion in which you mix the two primaries. For example, if you add more red than yellow, you get a reddish orange,...
