Surprise!

We received a surprise in the mail!
It came from Nicola, who is the lady I painted "The Diamond Roxy" for.

Thank you so much Nic, we are thrilled to receive your gift :)

I'll help unwrap!

Mummy loves to look at beautiful pics

Go on, give me a treat

if I give a paw, can I have another, please?

A present for Missy

There was a knock at the door - and there stood one of my neighbours.

I had helped her with her website and blog, so she, knowing the way to my heart, bought a present for Missy!
You can see her website here
The Rocking Horse Sanctuary

and her blog here

Presents

Painted and framed for hubby as his Christmas present:

Trojan




I was the lucky recipient of two new brushes, some art dvds and a book "Anatomy for the artist" which not only shows you how to draw body parts, but explains what function each has. Diamond present!

Missy's favourite two presents (apart from the edibles) - the supergold fleece and a kong on a rope

an early present

When I sent for some more art supplies, I treated myself to a present - an instructional art book. I'm looking forward in the Christmas break to practising the demonstrations.



Then my hubby kindly bought the coloured pencils for me to practice with!




And a certain little girl was hoping she could play along too :)
