I'd forgotten how much hard work having a puppy was, besides the toilet training problems now there's the constant biting - but she is sooooooo beautiful and we're so glad she's with us. I can't believe how good she is, she's barely cried since we've had her, and is so cute, playful and sociable. Awwwww....just look at her!!
I had so many plans and ideas for spending time in my art room, but i just can't resist being with her, so it's all gone by the wayside. Anyway, these are some works in progress. This is detail of a larger piece.
I started this piece a few years ago it was a commission for a friend i worked with as her daughter was an ice skater. I never managed to finish it and the lady movd on... I think i may try and revive it.
I went through a phase of creating trees, lots of swirly branches.

And this one for my baby girl, Nicci, who loves books.
This, believe it or not, is actually a print of my very first collage, sold many years ago. I was so impressed with this giclee print, it still looked real.
Prepared blocks of wood ready for collages, i sold another three today in the shop, so am now down to just a few, better get on and finish them over the christmas holiday.
Must say i'm really looking forward to having some time off over Christmas, we're planning a week off at the end of January and heading off somewhere nice to relax before we prepare for, hopefully, another busy Spring.
Hope you all have a brilliant christmas and new year, an looking forward to spending some time looking at everyone's blogs.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR AND I HOPE SANTA BRINGS YOU ALL EVERYTHING YOU'VE ASKED FOR
