More commissions.......



If I were able I would be springing back flips everywhere today. Instead I will just have to settle for leaping around like a loony in my head. You know how it is. I'd hate to knock over someone's mochachocadoodah coffee with a wayward arab spring into a full piked twisting somersault, so I will just sit here quietly smiling instead. Health and safety and all that.
Why so happy? Three commissions in a week all done and dusted and I still had time to watch Strictly Come Dancing ( although I still painted in between the dance routines.... sorry Brucey!) Pictured are two of them. The third I will save for next week to plump up the blog when content may be thin on the ground. Canny heh? Today I am being about as rebellious as I get these days and will NOT be painting a single dot, stroke or splodge of anything. These hedonistic heights may even stretch to a takeaway on the proceeds of all this hard work.... and the sun is shining whilst I'm manning the gallery workshop here. If anyone is having a bad day just come and rub shoulders with me and maybe the happiness will rub off- after all, life is good................................

We don't think it's fair that some people have all that talent, while the rest of us have none!!!! Love Mems and Peps XX

Hello Babs!
I changed my M.O. on these dogs by using a very coarse watercolour paper. I sometimes think the flat paper I use gives a very photographic feel to my work, so have tried something to soften it all off. The client was pleased so all's good! The dog on the right has what appears to be a hare lip- but in fact has a habit of pushing her nose along the ground- so she always has a bald spot there above her top lip! Nice to see you back :o) x
