Smashing piece Thea. This little one seems to be hopping and skipping in delight.

I've yet to show it to my 5 year old grand-daughter - I expect it might go down well with her too.

Oh this is wonderful Thea! He's having such a great time, isn't he, looks as if he's blowing the paint with his trunk and flicking the colour with his tail. Love it!

Thank you very much Christine, Debs, Sarah, Glennis & Fiona for such lovely comments. I know it's a bit cutesy, but I just couldn't resist the way the baby elephant was trotting along so joyfully with his floppy trunk and jolly tail.

A very cute, wet in wet, splashing Nellie, trundling along and looking very happy.

I am a watercolourist first and foremost as I love the qualities of the medium, its riskiness and unpredictability. I started painting about 8 years ago and it has now become an integral part of my life. Hopefully, I will continue to paint into my dotage as I am given to understand that you can…
