Gordon Taking 40 Winks! by Fiona Phipps

Made me smile Fiona, like it!

Super sketch.

Not sure who Gordon is, he seems to have a plinth, so maybe he’s a statue. A nice quirky character.

Gordon looks quite a grumpy sleepy head Fiona, but cute with it ! 🙂

What a loveable little character Fiona.

Excellent sketch Fiona .

I think Gordon is valued! I expect you exchange the odd greeting Fiona. I like him!

Great sketch Fiona.

He looks a devil of a creature Fiona.

You’ve brought his stony character to life

Personally I would feel miserable if someone made me live among the hostas! Good charcoal sketch Fiona

Great sketch, love his expression.

You are very good with charcoal Fiona. Percy says to give Gordon his regards.

A lovely quirky sketch!

Hostas food for snails, does he scare them away Fiona? Good charcoal piece!

To be fair, I can sympathise with the reasons Gordon looks miserable/grumpy/fed up. He looks at the same view every day, he has to wear many hats…..his Davy Crockett hat when the squirrels sit on his head and likewise, his day at the races look when all the different birds sit on his head…..and not to mention the unmentionable that they leave behind! We have our moments when we pass the time of day, discuss the weather, the quantity of slugs/snails etc. we also have hands on moments when I strip the moss off at the end of the winter….although he likes it left around his feet, it keeps the rheumatism at bay, apparently? He passes on his thanks to you all for your generous comments, especially to Percy, he would like to keep in touch.
