So I’ve made it to the end of my animal alphabet challenge. It’s been good and I’ve discovered quite a few animals I’d not heard of and I hope you’ve enjoyed it too! The letter Z gave me little choice, a zebu or zebra. I’ve only painted a miniature zebra before so had a go …
I’ve discovered Zazzle, an on-line print on demand service, so my penultimate letter Y challenge is a few days later than planned! Zazzle is great because you’re able to add your designs to a variety of products without having to keep stock yourself and zazzle does all the posting too. Customers can also customise items …
Hope you’ve all had a good week. We’ve been teased with some lovely warm sunny days, only for it to turn cold again! Mind you it was unseasonally warm, so I guess we’re just back to normal March weather. Since having my cat Lottie she rarely goes out, although I can’t blame her with the …
I’m almost at the end of my animal alphabet challenge now, can’t believe there are just 3 letters to go and this is my 100th post, wow! Time has flown by this week so I’ve only managed to paint a candle holder for this weeks W. Instead I’ve been busy painting other tealight holders including rabbits, …
The letter U choice for my animal alphabet challenge was quite limited. There are Umbrella birds believe it or not, who have feathers shaped like an umbrella on the top of their heads. However after all the rain we’ve had in the UK, I reckon we’ve seen enough umbrellas! So I chose sea urchins to paint. Urchins come …
This week is the letter S alphabet challenge and I’ve chosen to paint a snake ssssssssssss! I’ve painted him on a pint glass using glass paints, so it would make a good present for men, often so hard to buy for. I would also like to give a mention to Stephie at Stephanie Guy Fine Art, who …
I was pleasantly surprised by the animals I discovered for the letter Q art challenge. Aside from Quail I’d not heard of the others and will hopefully remember them as useful scrabble words! There are the cute Quokka, one of the smallest Wallaby species in the world and found in Australia. They are a bit …
Hope you all have a healthy and happy 2014. The new year here in the UK started with torrential downpours and strong winds but at least it’s quite mild. Luckily my car leak is fixed but the conservatory now leaks. In an attempt to minimise the damage until I can get it repaired I decided to …
I’ve just delivered my paintings to the Well Café in Exeter and it will be great to see them all on the gallery wall together. A number of my alphabet challenge paintings are there and it’s exciting to see what the reaction will be! This week is letter K in my alphabet challenge and not much to choose …
You may have guessed from the title my rescue cat is now with me and I was greeted with lots of meows! I’ve called her Lottie, the third consideration after Bella and Millie. She was found in a shopping car park, is between 1-2 yrs old and had been with Cats Protection for 3 months. …
