Raspberry Doodles

I have been absent from my blog again but working hard to get ready to show my work again.

There were a lot of hours involved in this drawing but I hope you think it was worth it

She will be my centrepiece at the Garlic Festival this weekend.

If you are around the Isle of Wight, come and say hi

This is what I am drawing

Her name is Nahla and she lives at the Isle of Wight Zoo

She is such a character and I fell in love with her immediately.

I hope you do too

Maybe 2 eyes will help?

Now, can you tell what I am drawing?  :)

Just started this drawing and was curious.

Can you tell what this eye belongs to?

I often watch my cats sleeping and wonder what they are dreaming about.  Their paws twitch like they are running, ears go, noses sniff!!

What do they dream of??

This is what I think Tom dreams of….hunting!!

Giant, colourful butterflies that dance close enough to catch……

……but illusive enough to enjoy the thrill of the hunt!

That is what I think cat dreams are made of

I showed you the start of a new drawing the other day and thought you might like an update.

His face is progressing well now though there was a sticky patch with this drawing.

This is one of my cats, Tom…..here is what he is supposed to look like.

Back to work again

I love getting post….when it isn’t a bill.

Yesterday the postman brought my summer cards from Moo

That is my favourite kind of post.

Here are the postcard versions

So much to do, so little time!!

This is the start of something new.

Just thought I would share

Day 24!!!  Nearly a quarter of the way through this challenge already.  I have worked hard though….just need to work harder

Today brings another Colours of Wight.

This time it is The Needles, one of the most iconic parts of the Isle of Wight.  Pretty Cool

Still trying to work out another 2 for this series.

If you have been with me for a while then you will remember that my first range of prints was “Colours of Scotland”

I wanted to create a range of contemporary landscapes that celebrated the rich colours that are found naturally in Scotland.

This was my favourite from the range.

Then I moved to the Isle of Wight.

I loved creating this range and having them as part of my display so I had to look at redesigning to suit the Island…..

……and the range has to be called “Colours of Wight” 

Ok, it amuses me

This range needs strong, recognisable silhouettes and when I looked around me this had to feature.

Inspired by the Round The Island Yacht race which was stunning to watch.
