The preparations for the village fair were well under way.
Mum was halfway through applying the icing for the toad-licking competition, the much anticipated highlight of the annual festivities.
There is a crow, that comes and sits on my roof, which has a cumbersome wooden clothes-peg hanging from it’s left leg…
How it got there will likely remain a mystery.
It’s doubtful this bird will let me get close enough to gently un-pinch the peg and relieve the burden, but I hope to get the chance to try…
‘His mum insisted he wear the booties she made him when the weather was bad, to stop his cutsey-wutsey toes from getting wrinkles…apparently’
A fox picture for Illustration Friday, made with acrylic paints left over from my earlier fox picture plus some photoshop rain. I decided to continue my ‘theme of the day’ of grumpy load-bearing foxes. The word this week was wrinkles!

Hooray I managed to get my paints out.
A little painting for Illustration Friday.
The word this week was ‘save’.
For my ‘first painting in a while’ I wanted to incorporate a little practice of painting waves and of course had to throw some bunnies in there…
My sketch started to quickly remind me of work by, one of my favourite artists, Michael Sowa. Who is a modern master of the sureal seascapes. So I lent a bit of the colouring from him.

It always takes me a while to get my confidence back after long creativeless stints.
I am slowly working my way up towards using paint.
This is a collage in progress, as yet without glue, otherwise known as ‘bits of paper’...
After months of rather relentless/never-ending D.I.Y., I am finally taking some time to get back into producing some artwork. I’m taking my first rusty steps with my trusty Rotring pen.
I’m hoping to move onto using colour at some point…
Whoohoo, radical!
Happy birthday Pappa!
