Icicles for paintbrushes on WOYWW.

Every Wednesday people from all 

around the world show what's on their desk

press here to go to Julia's Stamping Ground

to see them. 

Here's my desk from the lovely tropical

 Brisbane, Australia.

Well, maybe that's a slight exaggeration but there has

been snow right up to the Queensland border.

It went down to 4 degrees last night & it's 

only 17 in the house now

and I'm sure I saw a polar bear walk down the street!!! 

Okay, here's my desk but first let me wipe the 

icicles from my nose.

The picture might be a little blurry as my knees are knocking from the cold.

I'm painting birds in this room and

gooping and inking in this room tomorrow.

(If you look carefully you might catch a glimpse

 of that polar bear in the street).

I have a whole new respect for the people who live way up

the top of the northern hemisphere. 

 How do you stay warm???

There aren't enough clothes in the city to keep me warm.

Goodness, if this keeps up I'll have to buy a heater!!!

Winter school holidays have put a dent in my painting time

but I have managed to do some more to the birds.

 This is a step away from my usual bright paintings

and I've gotta say, it just isn't me. 

I like in your face bright colour and this is just

a tad too pookcack for me.

Personally I blame that darn "Polar Vortex"

(that's what the newspapers are calling it).

It's so cold that my brain had a white out moment

and created snow in the background.

When I get the feeling back into my frozen fingers

I'm going to brighten up the birds and the front flowers

and never do an over poocacked painting again!

To my friends up there in England,

yes you know who you are (LLJ).

You've had your fun, now give us back

our nice hot weather and take back your

rotten cold stuff before something

snaps off, like my nose!!
