some interesting topics, and different sketches. like the emus Angela, and that's a great start with your oil painting Denise. heere is a quick wedding bouquet. I am doing a few different studies to get the right angles of the main flowers before I do a full drawing / painting.
Your bouquet is so colourful Alan and appears to be forming well... interesting flowers and stems, nicely painted for this arrangement.

Been drawing today and started adding watercolour for another scene ...it's for a pictorial book about a baby Emu who meets a blackbird and dreams of flying over the nature reserve. An extinct volcano has formed a lake in the crater where water-hens,  ducks and geese nest. The Emus wander about and in this scene a young Emu discovers a nest hidden under a an Iron bark tree. ......this is work in progress.....need to draw some blackbird images next! I like your 'fat nurse' Gillian. Good drawing and your sketches Paul too, very good. Great oil painting Denise, some wonderful work indeed! 
Smashing sketches Alan and Angela. I did this last night and I'm going to add some colour to it tonight.

Some interesting sketches over the past few days. It’s a very snowy Orkney so here’s a winter sketch
Lovely sketch Gillian and nice pose of her wrapped up to go tobboganing! Some lovely drawings Paul and Denise, your still-life drawing too. Lovely sketches and your oil painting Denise looks fabulous! I started drawing for a pictorial book again today. Still working on some blackbirds in 6b pencil.

Whoops! The photo of the blackbirds needs turning around , or could delete? But I don't know where or how to delete! Anyway, I worked further on it today, but still a work in progress... 
They look characters! Just doodled a tree
Like the emus Angela, lovely tree Gill. A rough sketch based on a photo on me coppicing up in the woodlands, and one a I sketch a while ago . The blue tint is poor light on a shiny paper .

Lovely sketch of a tree Gillian, even when doodling they beckon us to draw and a nice start indeed!

Good drawing of these horses Paul, they loo look noble!  Nice figurative drawing of the man sawing wood, they turned out really well.
