Funny Faces

So, here is my latest piece. Illustration rather than mixed media. I just wanted to create something simple which would serve as promo material. It is a combination of acrylic and watercolour pencil on birch plywood. I am thinking of having this printed onto some nice organic cotton tote bags so please let me know if you are interested so I may reserve yours now!

I’ve dabbled here and there with this painting throughout the school holidays which have been fantastic. There hasn’t been much time for work as we have been busy having so much fun!! We have been to Leeds, Manchester and London. We have slid the luge, boarded the London Eye and chilled out on board a narow-boat amongst many other exciting things. And here are some more funny faces too:

Potato Love - Cupid Curry 2!!

It’s the school half term holiday here and we have been away with the kids for a couple of days visiting our friends Nige & Lou.  Carrying on with the theme of Cupid Curry, Louise made the most beautiful curry (yes, it really was lovely!) and in it was some real lurve – this amazing potato she picked up on Valentine’s day!!  Ah, sweet!!  I wanted her to have the photo of it for her new blog, but she wouldn’t ‘cos she’s not ready yet, so we pay homage to her here by linking to it.  Check out www.luluandblu.com over the next few weeks for further developments of Louise’s interesting journeys with her fantastic sock-puppet friend Blu.It’s so nice that the Love theme continues in my life, even though Valentine’s day is now just a memory.  I stayed home today and had a nice lie-in after all the travelling yesterday.  Even though my honey was gone to work he had thought of me and left me this sweet reminder of him, hung over the kitchen chair!!  It made me laugh, so I thought I’d share it!

So, as mentioned.  It is the school holidays, and I have the kids with me, so not much happening on the work-front this week!  Just at home today, doing nothing very exciting: paying bills, ironing, corresponence, etc.  Oh I hate those mundane bits – wish I had a PA!!!  Hah haa!!!!   And a house-keeper!  One day!!
