Friday Doodle - Eyes Meet

Hello,
A full on week of marking has seen some lovely work created by the students at Bath Spa University.
Congratulations to all the 3rd year students for reaching the end of your BA, and creating such fabulous work.
Marking has left little time for drawing/commissions, but I was able to squeeze in a Thursday night doodle.

Below, eyes meet centre stage and a spark is created!

Betsy The Chihuahua And Fat Cat - Dog Friendly UK

Hello there,

A few weeks back I had the utter delight of being asked to illustrate Betsy The Chihuahua and Fat Cat.
This rather splendid duo are the four legged friends of Alex and Zoelee from Dog Friendly Uk.
This blog is dedicated to finding all those fantastic places in the UK where you can spoil yourself and your canine friend is welcomed with open arms!
So if you are off on a trip somewhere in the country take a look and see if there's somewhere near by where you can treat your canine lovely!

Flowers, Kitsch Vase and Poodle = Thursday Evening Sketch

After a week of marking, commissions and other work I am getting ready for the weekend.

A trip somewhere new with the man Steve is on the cards.

I love an adventure, no matter how small, and thrilled to have a travelling partner who enjoys it just as much.

Looking forward to that room with a view.

A view from my room/desk, is this kitsch vase and poodle. Not quite as picturesque as where we are heading, but nice all the same.

Countryside Canine

After a lovely weekend an equally lovely start to the week.
Getting work done, sorting stuff, meeting up with a friend, and being told some very nice things.
Now for a few hours to relax before bed.

This Countryside Canine, is dreaming of pastures new.

This Saturday and Sunday the Art Flea in Stroud will be taking place.
It looks to be a wonderful few days with plenty of great things to see and buy.

"Staged by Jo Fry and Julie Howe, Art Flea is part flea-market, part conceptual art experiment, and part car-boot sale, featuring a wide variety of artist-run stalls alongside live performance, film screenings and fabulous food."

The Saturday will play host to the Art Flea, where you will find myself and a whole heap of other folk. Mik Artistik, Cuts A Fine Figure, Nothing But Navy, Delight Vintage, Marcus Walters, Polly Wales and Nick White to name a few!!
The Sunday will be plenty of entertainment as well as a Car Boot. So what you waiting for!
See you then.  x x x

As well as the canine and feline illustrations and embroidery, I'll be selling a few of these brooches and some other delights : ) x

Pastel Pattern

Another busy one this way.
But still time for more floral doodles.
This time with a little added pastel pattern.

A Blooming Wednesday

It's been a productive and full on day here.
Two commissions completed, another packaged off and sent to Houston, Texas, house hunting!

Now as some light relief a floral sketch. Nothing too precious, just because.

Hope your day has been a good one,

A Floral Explosion = The Loveliest Weekend

It's been such a fabulous weekend for weather here in Bath.
So nice, at long last to feel those suns rays.
It might not last, but for now it's making me very happy.

Here's a floral explosion to show it!

Happy Sunday!

The sun's shining here.
So we're making the most of it and heading out to catch a few rays.
Hope you're getting that much needed vitamin D as well.

This chap is enjoying a bit of a frolic in the flowers x x x
