Walking - incomplete

One of my favourite photo's of Eli is when she was about 4-5. She lived and died all summer in her swimming costume and fairy wings! It must be the only photo that my mother has ever managed to take of someone and actually keep there head on, but it captured what will always be the essence of her to a tee. This spurred on my return to art, and a very cheap little watercolour pallete to start. It was all good practice.

Cow -Watercolour

Here's one from my box of gems! Its almost therapeutic looking at early produce.... I wish I'd have kept all of my school work, now that really would have been a giggle!. Loose watercolours was certainly not my forte, I much prefer detailed work.

IF - Soaked

Ive recently purchased a new bed! And in the process of completely gutting the bedroom I came across a box on top of the wardrobe with a few gems in! This is one of them.... I shall post the others. Please don't laugh out loud too much hehehehe. I'm submitting this gem for IF this week, as previously posted there's a lot going on at the moment, but don't want to loose track.

Summer Fun - Working progress

I haven't posted in ages! There's SO much going on at the moment.... Ive got several projects on the go that seem to be taking up all of my time,and still not feeling 100% post Op. Unfortunately I cant post the ongoing projects, not just yet anyway. So here's a snippet of a working progress so as not to neglect the blog.............. Im still also practising with the Polychromo pencils on the fine art side. Its all go!!!!!!

Detail of working progress

Charity Auction

So, I'm not quite sure if this post could be a make or break post!
I have been asked by my colleagues at work if I would kindly do a picture so that they can Auction it at one of their Charity Do's. I'm Honored that they've asked and 'of course' was my reply. Ive put a link on the side so please take a look and support, its a good cause, Guide Dogs for the Blind and there's lots going on with this charity that my colleagues are arranging and I'm really pleased to be a small part.
I started the piece and then got to thinking, it will take a while to complete because of the detail, SO why not do a working progress and promote the cause along the way..... and Yes! Each time I post the progress I shall be reminding you all WHY this piece is being done.

The end product measures 25cm x 22cm, Polychromo Pencils on White Archival 210gsm Paper and will be mounted and framed. I hope the work done so far is obvious as to what it will be!

As a foot note, this is the first working progress I have ever dared to post :) bare with me please!
