Breeze

Not much of a breeze just lately – more of a wild hooley! This probably describes the beautiful canine Breeze just as well on occasions. Here she is looking more serene.

The beginning and my little helper saying "don't forget my walkies"

Building up the layers of Indian ink with an increasing amount of detail

A new year, a new start

Happy New Year ! I know, a bit late – but it is the thought that counts. New Year’s resolution for 2016 -  make more time for painting and a bit more blogging……..so here’s something to be getting on with and tomorrow the painting begins as I enjoy a 3 week break between jobs.

Titus: "Can we do this every morning before breakfast now?"

Blue skies and new horizons

Henry plans to take control of the camera more often in 2016

Belated Christmas wishes from 2015!

Wonders will never cease

The artist has been painting! Not once but twice, both commissions – a card for a good friend of mine who has been celebrating a very long engagement and a portrait of a holiday cottage. Titus was very interested in the re-emergence of some painting equipment and was ever-so slightly nagged when he started to suggest this activity was far less important than a walk on the beach. Being so big (head and shoulders above the height of the table) he can reach for a sniff and a nudge of most things. A bearded snout, very handsome when dry but catastrophic when wet, can do serious damage to one’s artwork and “sniffing and nudging” what isn’t his, is what he does when wanting to be noticed. Needless to say, the walk had to wait while I was lost in a creative zone for a stolen few hours.

"Good job the lid is screwed on Titus"

A day to remember for one happy couple
