Not sure about this one

Your comments would be appreciated. Gary says it is fine as it is and I agree on one hand, on the other I have the urge to put more on. What ya thinking?


New puppy had a little go at this picture too - she made those little bumps. What a talent!!

Husband with hair portrait

Another portrait, this time slightly different.


I have only known my husband with a shiny head. He does not seem the man I married in that picture :) Anyway, I love the relationship that shines through between these two university friends who still are today.

I think this is a good way to show off an otherwise difficult to display photo.

I believe I can fly

I believe I can touch the skyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Oscar the cat is clearly ready to take off and believes he can do it! ...... just as soon as he lifts his big butt off the floor .............

Even though I have grown fond of Oscar and his message, he will be up for sale. Husband commented that it is a good thing that I like my pictures enough to want to keep them. It is a double edged sword I reckon.

Puffins

This is a canvas I was in two minds about. One part of me loves it, the other wants to do some more work on it. It got snapped up by an artist I admire very much - she wants to swap it for one of her pieces. Who am I to argue???

Poetry

I did this for a friend who writes special event poetry to order. She has a stand at an exhibtion today and I hope it goes well. The poem is © Presence in Poetry and more of her work can be seen here http://www.presence-in-poetry.co.uk/

Portraits

My own Tony is now joined by his own Gisela - my sister and brother-in-law look simply marvelous. Their children are next as soon as I get some suitable head shots. My niece has already decided she will wear her horse costume (?!!) for her stint on canvas. Fits in nicely I reckon - they are a great family and I love them to bits.

Starry starry night commission

So you learn a lot when you ask other people for their favourite song lyrics. Never realised that Starry starry night was about Vincent van Gogh for example. Anne has many reasons to be close to Vincent and explaines about the connection here


I was not sure about this canvas until I had a go at ruffing it up a bit. Now I really like it – looks great on a wall and was great fun to do.
