Pencil drawing - Max

It's been lovely to immerse myself in artwork again.  My morning dog walk was warm but blowy and woke me up ready for couple of hours of drawing to finish a portrait of this lovely little lad.   

My next project is a friend's garden in watercolour for christmas.

macmillan coffee morning !

Well, the cakes are eaten, the coffee's been drunk and our feet are throbbing. We had a fantastic day!  Thanks to all the support and generosity we made a staggering £200 for the charity.  At 10pm last night  whilst I was putting the finishing touches to the exhibition, I was hoping at least a few visitors would pass through our doors to make the hard work worth while.  We had about 70 visitors throughout the day and all hands were on deck to keep the coffee flowing.  I'm now looking forward to collecting the dogs, relaxing back into painting and getting on with my many commissions.

Pastel Portrait.

Sometimes you need to stand back or get someone else's perspective on a 'finished' painting.  My husband is a picture framer and over the years has developed a keen eye.  He seems to know instrinctively when a painting isn't quite ready for framing.  Now that I've finished this painting I have another to do of the same little boy in graphite.  To create a bit of mental space between the two projects I have been working on the sunflower painting I started a few weeks ago.  Lately I have become much more professional in the way I organise my painting day.  I have set hours that I paint and really look forward to distancing myself from the world for that period of time each day.  But I also have a set time when I complete paperwork and prepare classwork for the week ahead, even for walking the dogs.
