Rainy day

Having practised eyes a bit, I decided to tackle this picture, from my own ref, which I've had on the 'to do' pile for a while.

Watercolour, approx. 11" by 14" (quarter sheet)

Practising eyes

Been practising eyes - here's a few pencil and watercolour sketches (they do look rather strange, individual eyeballs scatted across the page!)

Sunshine Award

My cyberfriend Nora Mackin was kind enough to send a sunshine award my way - thank you Nora! Check out Nora's blog, full of lovely stuff. I'm supposed to nominate another twelve deserving recipients - I'll have to give it some thought!

Snoozing

This is what I've been working on over the past few days. It's based on a photo I took MANY years ago, of our cat snoozing on my beanbag.

8" by 10", watercolour.

Enjoy the silence

Here's another watercolour based on a photo I took a few months ago. I especially liked the light in the photo, which makes the painting a bit easier - the areas of light and shade are well defined.

12" by 9", watercolour.
