The Task at Hand

The Task at Hand

Since starting to work in watercolour again, Ive chosen some challenging subjects. This one was no acception with the checked shirt. The folds of his chaps where wonderful to work on with their folds of leather.

I hope Ive done justice to my subject. My next challenge is a black and white watercolour portrait of a horse and rider. But first I have a beautiful immortal collie dog named Tye to complete.

Reindeer magic

My 8 year old daughters school teacher asked if I would do a christmas art project with the class.

Panic mode sure kicked in. Felt I had to do the right thing I decided that this guy would (fingers crossed) be simple enough for a group of 7 - 8 year olds to do. The class starts next week, when I get the kids kicked off with drawing up their reindeer ready to paint.

Wish me luck as this is something entirely new for me.

A Christmas Treat

I finally had time to sit down and work on my Christmas card image for 2008. This little girl who Ive titled A Christmas Treat is a pastel. 7" x 8 1/2" in size.
