Latest Artwork

This latest piece is still in progress. I just started working on Gill last night at the Coffee House. I work from left to right so as not to smudge with my hand. I accidentally dropped this piece last night on the Coffee House floor and of course it hit face down. Mum and Dad and Robert know how dirty the floor is at the Coffee House. Perhaps it will give it character. Anyway, I'm still working on this one. I feel really important as Mike is putting a fluorescent light in Carrie's room today and we hope to move a drawing table he bought from work to the room so I have a fantastic place to draw. I'm really excited about that. It also brings me comfort to draw in Carrie's room where she spent so much time doodling and drawing herself. I'm interested in working with colored pencils next but the kind I want to try and quite expensive so I may have to wait till Christmas or Birthday or something. I have my first commissioned piece to start work on for someone's Christmas present to his brother.
If you haven't already. Check out Isla's blog and the great photos she has recently added. Also, we are glad to have Mike back safe and sound from France. He had a great time and I may be able to post photos of his trip when he gets a copy from the work colleague he went with.

I have had a pleasant evening catching up with you and Isla's Blogspot. It is so nice to see JAMES taking so much pleasure in his son's company. How Jake has developed!
Grandma Alison looks as if she has lost some weight, too.
I suppose a dragon deserves to be beheaded!
