2019 Christmas Fair Coloring-In Poster

I haven't had much opportunity to draw or paint lately, as I've started a new business which is taking up all of my time! It has been so wonderful to devote a couple of hours today to quickly sketch out a promo poster for this school's fundraising committee. This year I've drawn a wreath, the Santa is the one I drew two years ago for them.

The idea is to hand it out to the kids, and they color it in themselves. There is a prize for the best one, I can't wait to see what they do with it!

Blue Tit Landing

Well, I'm on a roll! Over the Easter holiday my parents-in-law babysat and I had the chance to paint down on the Isle of Wight while visiting them. They have several bird feeders that attract a lot of the lovely little songbirds in the area, including blue tits. The weather warmed up a couple of weeks before and the plants are starting to sprout their leaves and bud blossoms. Spring is becoming my favorite season. After the dull greys and browns of winter, seeing a little color is so wonderful!
