Sisters 43/4" x 9" Oil





Ginger nuts.......my nieces, Kathryn and Stephanie, who emigrated to Canada about six years ago, when I think the photo was taken. I cannot begin to guess at what they are like now, but I love this picture, you get a hint of the difference in character.

Hot Dog 8" x 8" Acrylic


Sorry, didn't get to Hertford, so no life drawings, but I did get a day at the coast, where this dog made a very speedy bee-line for the sea, turned round, plonked himself down in the water and waited for the boss to catch up. When she reached him and called, he refused to budge! It was a VERY HOT day! And it made me laugh out loud.

Jackdaw Oil 18" x 24"


David Lee, art critic and editor of the art paper, The Jackdaw. I met him about three years ago when I took part in a portrait painting competition and he was one of the judges. He adopted this stance often, and I always thought " is he serious!"
He presented himself as a grumpy old git, but in fact I found him to be friendly and extremely helpful with his advice.

Text Message Oil 9.5" x 9.5"


In the same vein as 'Phone Call', this young lady off loaded her baby onto her friend to answer the urgent ring of her phone. It is irristible, isn't it, to be wanted? And I can never get the better of curiosity!

Banana Oil 61/2" x 61/2"


And now for something completely different, for me , anyway. Inspired by the hundreds of daily painting blogs on the www, I gave myself a break from faces, imagining it would be easy! I found myself fall into the same old trap.....fiddling with details. Nobody knows exactly, precisely what this particular banana looks like, it doesn't matter. But still I fiddled.
