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?

Ana with a paper boat

I am now painting this one. I have yet to finish but here is a sneaky peek... Ana is two here as you can see a very grown-up two. She loves her painting and every night before going to sleep asks me if it’s finished so she can hang it on her wall.... to be continued!!

It is finished now and here it is.....

The Corner

I've posted a photo of the painting in it's early days!

Now this one has a story to it. A good friend of mine was and is in the process of changing homes and I thought as a house warming present I’d give her a painting. I wanted to paint something special. I googled her mum with help from a friend and managed to contact her and ask her to send me photos of her home in Norfolk. She sent me loads, but when I saw this one there was no doubt. I can safely say she recognised the place and I really do hope it brings that ‘home’ feeling to her new home. Could sit there now and have a cuppa!

Look at me!

I could touch the sand and smell the sea. This is Carlota aged 4. My first whole body! The beach is in Los Caños de Mecca, Zahora beach, in Cadiz. In the background you can see a little house on the cliff and a large plot of land behind it that all belongs to the military. Really liked painting this one and Carlota loves it.

I was inspired by a painting my boss has on her wall. Painter is family of a friend of mine. She does the most fantastic under water paintings, a sight better than mine! But I had to try it. So I did Carlota under the water in my mum’s swimming pool. She is 5 years old here. The canvas is a large square one about 80cmx80cm. Here she has just dived in. I liked the idea of reflecting the blue of the swimming pool on her skin; I have to say she didn’t. Never mind...

Here is a close up of the bubbles.
