Finally I finished it! (Although I probably will decide it’s not finished in the next day or two...) This is a painting I have been working on for a couple of months on and off. The painting is 25” square. I don’t normally work in acrylics and this is definitely the largest piece of art I have ever done. The painting is about a cat I used to have when I lived in Weymouth called Basil who often went to sleep by the window while looking out at the boats on the water.

Ever noticed pictures created by shadows and marks? I noticed this row of lady Gaga’s on the wall, made from the light shining through a wire shelf. I decided to take a photo and see what it would look like as an illustration. After adding a bit of colour and some eyes/mouths - here it is!

Project wise I am very busy on a continuing project - which is why it has been a little quiet here lately. I also have been doing a big painting, I may finish it this weekend... watch this space....

Today I finished knitting this Octopus for my nephew. The pattern for the octopus is from the book ‘Jean Greenhowe’s Toy Collection.’ He took a long time to knit, but I finally finished him! I have a big illustration project on the go at the moment and have also been busy with a massive painting. Here are a couple of photos of Ollie the Octopus...

I have been really busy for the last few months on a big project, all will be revealed eventually. In the meantime here is a photo that I took of a Grasshopper that was sitting on one of our sweet peas. I like to think he is the king and that the little greenfly on the stem are his servants! I have also been painting with acrylics for the last couple of days and will upload a photo of it when it’s finished. Watch this space...
