“Drawing makes you look at the world more closely. It helps you to see what you’re looking at more clearly. Did you know that?”
I said nothing.
“What colour’s a blackbird?” she said.
“Black”
“Typical!”
David Almond
What colour is a blackbird?

I’ve set myself a mini challenge to produce something arty every day for the next two weeks ~ this is art for art’s sake, art for fun ~ studies, experiments and what have you ~ things I’ve been meaning to do but something else always seems more urgent, more important. This is day two.
Today
“A year from now you may wish you had started today.” Karen Lamb
Another year over…
This small canvas was my last commission of 2015 ~ and it was a wonderful way to end the year. When I was asked to paint this version of my little stick figure illustration, I had no idea how it would look (given that the original figures were ink drawings on paper). I needn’t have worried. This painting now has pride of place on my new Commissions page.
Wishing everyone a happy and creative 2016 : )
The Christmas post
Return of the little stick figures
This thank you illustration is one of my all-time favourites. Created to celebrate a milestone on my blog in 2012, it is also the image most often ‘borrowed’ by people on the Interweb. So, given its popularity, I’ve decided to turn it into a note card.
If you click on the image above, you will be magically transported to my Etsy shop.
Thank you : )
