The Actors are here!!!

I have been making roughs in pencil and watercolour of the actors for the Lawrence Batley Theatre book that I am making. It is a really fun page to be working on, some of these characters are really making me chuckle, I'd love to meet them...!

Our Cute House Rabbit!!

Some quick sketches of Shmoo, our lovely house rabbit. Did these while she was running around the living room - she loves it in there, mainly because it's where the TV is, and she loves to go behind it to eat the wires! When she is blocked from the TV though, she is content to lick and lick and LICK the arm of the sofa.

Autumn

This is a commission I have been working on, it is a celebration of Autumn. The inspiration for this painting came from my walks around the beautiful countryside where I live. When I get out there, seeing all of wonderful nature, my spirits lift and I feel connected and rejuvinated!

Delivery at the Lawrence Batley Theatre

When I was down at at the theatre today, I was having a coffee in the bar, when a big delivery arrived - I quickly sketched the delivery people as they brought in supplies: lovely lemonade; heart-warming tea & coffee; best beer; incredible ice-cream; and scrumptious nuts & crisps!

The Cleaners at the Lawrence Batley Theatre

The second installment to the story, A Day in the Life of the Theatre, has been taking a long time to appear, but here it is at last; I spotted these characters recently at the Lawrence Batley Theatre in Huddersfield...

 
Look, the cleaners are working hard to make the theatre look beautiful.

Introducing Madame Vivi!

 Madame Vivi welcomes you to the theatre, "Come on in and share the magic!"

Caspar and Shmoo

Here is the third picture from the Caspar and Shmoo series. They are enjoying the slow pace of life sitting in this pink willow tree, watching butterfiles flutter by - the last days of summer!
