Birds and sadness for WOYWW

Sorry I've been missing

for a few weeks,

it was with good reason.

My wonderful mum passed away

a few weeks ago

and it's been a sad time for us.

Luckily my brother came out

for a visit from
Canada and got to spend

two lovely weeks with mum.

I'm now back to painting

as She'll send a bolt of lightening

down if I don't.

Here is my usual messy desk

this week

 You can see my cool Dalek

that little miss gave me for 

Christmas

and a pillow that my brother gave me.

Cheeky devil!!

You can also see my 

Loch Nessie that Neesie sent me

and my Cotman watercolours

that I still haven't opened (sigh).

I think I've finished my last birdie painting

but still not sure if I'm happy with it

Does it look too yellow?

I've started a new canvas in class

and yes it's another bird!!

 

 

I've actually also done the feathers and 

the leaves

but dummy here forgot

to take more photos

and it's at class (doh).

I piped the flowers etc on

with paint mixed into

gloop (texture paste)

and then it will be inked,

painted and glazed.

On a bright note,

I've cashed in my flybuys points

and bought a new camera.

I can only hope it's blonde proof

and when it arrives I can finally

take a decent photo.

Here's hoping.

That's it for me,

so why not hop on over to 

Julia's Stamping Ground

and see what's on everyones

workdesk this wednesday.
