making adjustments to your blog - sharing tips...

I have been busy making adjustments to my blog. And I'd like to share the links to the info that I used. In case you are thinking about changing the look of your blog too, this may save you some time looking for the right info. 

Of course there are a number of new blogger themes available now. And a lot more to find on internet. But it seems you may lose some of the widgets in the sidebar, using these themes. And I can't find one I like. So I decided to make changes this way. Happy to share, hope it may help you too.

Changes can be made by adding CSS on Customize Theme > Advances > Add CSS. And/or making changes to the HTML of your blog.
But before making any change....... ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR BLOG FIRST!!!

 I also made a testblog: a new blog that I kept private. So I could try out every change there first, without ruining my painting blog. Many of the things I tried, did not work or looked awful. So this testblog proved very useful.
So here is a list of links to changes that did work for me. Have fun! :)

falling leaves...

Eikenbladeren.

Oak leaves.

old grapes...

 Een ouder schilderij uit 2015 waarvan ik ontdekte dat het nog niet eerder op mijn blog stond. Ik kijk er elke dag naar want ik heb het ingelijst. De kleuren zijn veel intenser dan op deze afbeeldingen. 

Een kleurig weekend gewenst!

An older painting from 2015. I found out it was not published on my blog before.
I look at it every day for I framed it. The colours are much more intense that shown on these images.
Have a colourful weekend!

Rechte lijnen zijn niet mijn sterkste punt, dus ze zien er een beetje wiebelig uit. Heb dat nog geaccentueerd met spatten en vlekken. 

Straight lines are not my forte, so they look a bit wobbly. I accentuated that with splashes and stains. 

My brushes are waiting...

Mijn penselen liggen geduldig te wachten.

Fennel...

Op zoek naar inspiratie, dan is de keuken altijd een goede optie. Ik ben dol op venkel, en ze zien er ook niet slecht uit, met die zachte groenen.

Looking for inspiration the kitchen is always a good option. I love fennel and they look great, with all those soft greens.

Wild waves...

Wilde golven, geschilderd naar één van mijn eigen foto's.

Ik heb maskeervloeistof gebruikt om spetters te maken en een beetje witte gouache om het witte schuim te accentueren.

Wild waves, painted from one of my own photos.

I used masking fluid to make some splatters and a little white gouache  to accentuate the white foam.
