A Cocktail of ducklings!


It has been some time, and after being nudged I am back up-dating my blog. This is a little pencil drawing of two very cute ducklings.

Waiting for the Wave



She sells seashells on the seashore.
And the shells she sells are seashells, I am sure.
'cause if she sells shell at the seashore,
I am sure she sells seashore shells.



The girls waiting for that big wave that just never comes! Here are my niece and my eldest daughter around 6 and 5 years of age, eager to get tossed by a wave. The tide is low and great for those sandy waves. I hope you enjoy this one. This is a presy for my sister for all those times she has had to put up with me, and who now has no choice but to hang it in her front room!

Window box


I have to be totally honest I got fed up with painting this one, I think I left too much time go by before finishing and I was too eager to start another one I had in mind, I hope you enjoy it more!



I've just started this one. As walking through the streets of Paris in the Montmarte area how could you not run out of film! We came across all sorts of lovely romantic corners, just behind the Moulin Rouge and near the Basilica of the Sacré Coeur, in a little street that led off from the a small vineyard in the Rue Saint-Vincent, was taken over by some film students that had set up a scene and one of the windows was this one with a beautiful window box! To just think the great artists Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, Amedeo Modigliani walked those streets…. 

I can hear Charles Aznavour’s La Bohème softly playing as I look at this painting…

Stealing biscuits


As the weather hasn't been so nice these days, and while watching the telly I've been scribbling. Here is a mouse in a glass biscuit jar.

Thirsty!

I'm afraid I haven't been able to get my paints out this last month. It's coming up to the end of the school year and boy there is so much to do! But I have left my sketch book around and pencils and this is one I started  this morning. Not finished missing whiskers etc... 

What do you think?
