Yesterday was a marathon drawing session and a real labour of love as the subject of my drawing is a character I love dearly. Her name is Sky and she really is intelligent and fun and everything a collie should be. She can run like the wind and often chooses to do so, leaving you standing. She, along with Storm who I drew last year, belong to a dear friend of mi[...]

Two days of pictures together because nothing was dry enough yesterday so I could not take photos. I am still on track at the moment though.....just at the mercy of the paint. The first is called Firestream and is a mixed media abstract. It uses handmade paper, acrylic paints, beads and wire and some lovely deep reds and gold. This is my favourite colourway f[...]

New artwork at last!! I was very happy to finally be back painting on Saturday night. I had been out fighting the front garden with all the weapons I could muster but had been beaten back by a weed which my body decided it didn't like. I came out in water blisters all over my arms and the side of my face which then became swollen so I would have made a very good[...]

I have read a lot of articles giving advice on how this should be done and, apart from the stuff which is common sense, most of it gives completely conflicting advice. Be professional - Be personal Don't tell people what your daily life is like[...]
