A little time, and the three weird sisters

I've had a few days off work, my arthritis has been quite bad and I find my self in the unusual situation of having to stay indoors, not move about too much and finding a way to occupy myself. AND.........this is the result  :-)

My interpretation of the three witches made famous in 'That' Scottish play.

Moral of the story seems to be.............don't piss me off, the ...'models' for this painting, are three ladies who I work with and  who could, at times, easily be mistaken for three witches.  

:-) not to be taken too seriously of course.

    Oh, they do look quite witchy: smug and manipulative. Love the castle in the background.

    Hi Loretta , hope your pain eases soon as the weather gets little wrmer ( or at least less bitter )

    Does that mean that you are going to 'hang them' at work?

    Seriously, I hope that you are feeling better. Having bouts with rheumatoid arthritis myself, I can sympathize with the being shut down for several days at a time.

    Hope this finds you better. Maybe your witches can find a magic potion for you. I love your porttrait.

    lol................took me a while to 'get' the word play there
    I wouldn't dare take this to work never mind 'hang' it there
    BUT...........know the saying about enough rope and hanging oneself.............think this could apply to these particular ladies.

    you did

    i clicked on it as was looking at the large version
    some cool detail there

    kind of reminds me of the "court of the crimson king" album cover

    I've got a bit of a problem accessing some of my hundreds of photos................loads of them are saved to CD and I recently discovered that my present computer only reads DVDs not CDs , which is a bit of a problem. I've had this computer a while now but as soon as I realised it doesn't read CD's I've found myself wanting all sorts of photos I can't get at.

    oh my!

    :(

    yeah never thought of it like that guess you're right. Its weird cos I've had this computer for more than a year now and have been quite happy with it, until the other day when I put a CD into the drive, expecting it to play..... and realised it only plays DVD's.........Ever since than I keep thinking of all the stuff I desperately need and can't get. Funny how I didn't 'need' any of it for more than a year when I didn't know I couldn't get it... if you see what I mean.

    she has my sympathy, at least my photos aren't 'lost' just temporarily unobtainable ( I hope)

    I'm sure I will be able to buy an external CD drive to plug in and access my pictures.
