SOLD! SOLD!

Ok! I know I need to show some new work but you will have to forgive me at least for a couple of days. My daughter is getting married and I have 4 bridesmaid dresses to make and suit for myself before my sewing machine gets packed and I head off to a new home. I am taking a week off work next week and intend to alternate sewing and drawing for a luxurious 7 days so there should be something new coming soon! I hope!



But I had to post just to say that I have sold another 2 pastels - and for the first time experience a pang of sadness as I say goodbye to them. I particularly liked these pieces but intend to do paintings of them so will be revisiting them soon.

Sheep

I drew this sheep for a friend on a virtual Christmas present exchange on WetCanvas! a couple of years ago. I've been having some work framed recently and decided that Sheep deserved a frame too. A great friend asked if I would sell him when she saw him framed so here is my second sale for this week! Could this be a forecast of things to come or a total fluke? There is nothing like dreaming!!!

New Year's Resolutions - failed again!

My New Year's resolution for this year was to produce vast amounts of artwork - ok, I'll revise that. My New Year's resolution for this year was to produce a regular supply of work, to post on my blog at least on a weekly basis and I have failed on both counts.

Life, basically got in the way! I know, its a lousy excuse!

Anyway, I'm here today - not to post anything new but to shout out about a new Blog that I am linking to. Michael Newberry has joined the blogging world - AT LAST!!! I would heartily recommend everyone to go and take a look!

And also I am happy to say I have sold a picture - the pastel ....... just checking .... three posts ago ..... "Family Affair". Always nice to make a sale and just the boost I needed. So now I am going to make a Half New Year's Resolution - is that what you make in the middle of the year? - and say that I am going to post at least once a week and do more art!
