Hedgehog blogged

We saw a hedgehog in the hedge(!) at the bottom of the garden this evening. As you may guess, painting is going very slowly this week.

A poem for Friday

The Beach Hut

Quietly Creaking

With a doorstep full of sand

The hut – licked by salt air

Ship shape stripes

Flake away

In a row of candy colours

Tasting of the sea

Shutting out gulls cries

And winds whispers and shouts

In a cupboard full of damp towels

And blankets

Sticky ice cream fingerprints

Coffee cup rings

Driftwood and seashells

World Cup Hopes

This is my footy tribute! I wish the country got as excited about Eurovision.

Dandelions

Dandelions are one of my favourite flowers to paint. They have an ethereal and magical quality, if you blow on them you are supposed to make a wish. I had guests sewing on the beads with these at our BBQ which was a great help. One of my (male) Bayswater Rd colleagues mistook them for nipple tassels however so maybe I should re market them!

Blog bogged

Two weeks since I last wrote, what happened?! I've been blogged down making art, looking after whippets, home and husband. This is my pitch on Sunday, it was a quiet day. I'm not able to attend this week so I have a fortnight to prepare my surreal pieces for launch.
