Art - Monday 3rd.
My third attempt at oil painting having spent a day tutorial at the wonderland of The West Dean College, West Sussex. This was the afternoon exercise, I’m pleased with it as my last 2 attempts in the past were certainly not competent !
Oooh😲…Cat Day today is it??? 🐈
Big round of applause 👏👏👏👏 for the Felinus!
Sadly, my Mr MaCawber was our last very special Cat to keep - seen here with me during the 1990’s.
At last! (In Chinese) The awaited edition of ‘The Silk Road’ arrived very recently. In 2018 I was one of 5 illustrators involved with supplying the illustrations - some seen on this double-spread. Created by The Old Dungate Press Ltd, a lovely illustrated book.
Well for something a bit different.... my schooldays portfolio..remembering their cheap paper, and cheap paint supplies but no idea why I came up with these images. I never even entered an Art shop until I went to Art college. Strange days.
@Philippa_Perry One more for you....if you can bear it!
‘Just follow me’.
One day, soon?? Coming to an end to distance social walking...if that’s ever possible??
Wonderful Christmas image from Michael Foreman for December on my calendar - come from The Friends for Book Trust. Look on their website to get the 2021 Calendar...it’s, I believe, the only illustrators calendar there is!
