Rugby

To save myself from getting too upset watching Scotland getting beaten yet again, I decided to draw and and get distracted by all the lovely arms and tight shirts of the rugby players. Couldn't believe how hard they are to draw though.  Far too fast and furious, but I was nicely distracted thankyou very much...

oh Fiddlesticks

This is the first time I've ever tried to draw someone playing the fiddle. Guitar I can do, as the musician usually stays relatively still bar the fingers, but fiddle players are a different matter, especially when they start swaying and bobbing up and down to the music. I'm glad this one was silhouetted, made my job slightly easier....

People watching

The two extremes of commuting life. From Mr Industrious at 8am, fixated on his laptop, extra strong coffee and blueberry muffin, to the lad fast asleep whislt in the middle of texting. The  joys of people watching.

While the (other) boss is away....

Thought I'd take this opportunity while Hazel is away on holiday of uploading a picture of her I did last week (just to avoid the wrath you see). It was after a very long day walking the NEC in Birmingham (those of you who don't know it, its a huge exhibition centre otherwise known as Hell on Earth) visiting friends and drumming up business at a trade show. So hopefully she'll excuse the non likeness as we were both shattered and this was coming up to 11pm on the train, and I was sitting too close to her, and I had had two glasses of wine..... I can use all the excuses in the world, but after knowing her for 16 years (OMG is it really that long!!!) you would think that I really should by now be able to get some sort of likeness...

Scottish Elements

Did this watercolour sketch on a very cold blustery walk, and just as I started, so too did the rain, adding to the general watercolour look. As they say in Scotland, fed up with the season? just wait a minute and another one will come along shortly.
