The birds have arrived !

Hi Everyone
Yesterday proved to be rather busy for me. Nothing interesting but time ran away ! However, I did manage a sketch (no colour) for a few pages of the little book. As yet, there is no title but a story is coming. The pictures are telling me to think about a few ideas. This is what I had planned. Here's my little sketch for today's photo.



Thanks for reading.

Page Three

Hi Everyone
Another few scenes from the painting story book. As yet there is NO story. Read back a few days for the idea.
It's a week,or so since my last entry in the book - so I'm hoping for something a bit different for my next painting. I'm hoping to do something later today.



Thanks for reading.

Little Books

Hi Everyone
Ive another little piece of Art as my photo story today. This is a small book Ive made while on Tour last week. Its made from a single piece of A4 watercolour paper, folded, torn and stitched. It's a series of unconnected paintings. I'm not sure why Ive chosen to paint each picture ? - just a whim at that moment. When Ive completed all the free space I will construct a story to fit. It's an idea Ive seen before but I enjoy making little paintings from watercolour pencils and this seemed a good way to make Art while being portable and fitting into short working sessions when activities permitted.
This is the cover painting. I will share more each day.

Left handed scribbles.

Hi Everyone
I'm still sharing archive photo stories about part 1 of our Grand Tour (temporarily suspended - for work !) Today's photo is a little card painting produced while having a coffee in the Derwent Pencil Museum in Keswick. The museum shop is a place we can't resist - everyone in the family loves pencils and the extra accessories sold in the shop. We always spend loads of money and stock up on pencils we probably don't need ! The visit was made on the day before we left for home. After browsing we have coffee/cake and make some Art - the pencil people have a large sample of their pencils on the tables and it's always a lovely thing to do. My painting started as a left handed scribble and ended up like this :
