We've all been for a lovely picnic and then the ants smell the sticky cakes or a wasp decides to hover an inch from your nose and not leave you alone!Water colour and pen on card

a tad neglected unfortunately. had to concentrate on the shouting aspect lately at band practice and repeated injuries have created their own problems also. hope to be performing sooner rather than later - will be playing somewhere live this autumn.

This is so gourgeous!Light and happy I love it,I wish I was her!!!I don't wish there were more vibrant colours,this is beautiful because is soft!There are time for strong vibrant colours and times for sweet relaxing atmosphere!I can almost breath the fresh air!I love it
And leave the insects alone or you'll have to deal with me!!!
I have an army of spiders,butterflys,grasshoppers and even if you still have to see them....bees!

The insects are fine..it's just that they always turn up when there's a good spread of food laid on.....usually when you're distracted with some kissing action
Thank you honey, so glad you can feel the atmosphere and fresh air

I love your drawing, the compostition, and the use of your shallow space , though I wish you added more vibrant colors to your piece (its a bit brown, probably the paper). Your shadows are wonderful. All in all great piece.
