Tree Surgeons and Builders
Hi all,
Again I find myself way behind with everything due to a week of builders coming in and out to fix my bathroom and the arrival of tree surgeons to remove some very large overhanging trees. We knew the builders would be here today and for the next few but did not know about the TS coming, so it has been a matter of keeping my dogs calm and making drinks for everyone to keep them all hydrated as it has been exceptionally hot....not that I am complaining, the beach beckoned and Bluebell and I took ourselves off for a longish walk. My lovely hubby also bought me a new big desk which can now accommodate my puter gear plus drawing board and all my pencils,with space to spare. It is a corner unit with two very large cupboards either end and a piece that sits back and above the main desk...everything fits beautifully and I am over the moon with it. Hubby also treated me to a new 20" flat screen as the one I had before was fine but a tad small, and I have to own up and say that my eyes are not so good as they once were and I need to use my reading glasses all the time now. These are both early birthday pressies, not a big win on the lottery lol, but as they were purchased via eBay, you have to buy when the time is right and these two were just to good to miss.
As you can see above I have amongst the mayhem managed to complete another drawing, again this one is Graphite but the eyes are done with CPs. I quite like idea of combining the two mediums, especially with cats as getting that glassy look is quite difficult. I have named this one Inquisitive.
I am hoping to start a new WIP soon but not quite sure what to do, but more to the point as the weather has been so good it has been quite difficult to discipline myself to the drawing board lol, so in a roundabout way I am looking forward to the autumnal weather as this is the time I start to overhaul my portfolio and create lots of new works.

Hi, very beautiful! I like this art!
The cat drawing is lovely; I like the addition of the colored pencil for the eyes.
Thankyou Cherilynn.
Thanks Arcobaleno.
I want your desk lol :D
Fabulous work, Vic - I love it and the eyes look wonderful in colour, in contrast to the graphite!!
very pretty :o)
I haven't had the chance to enjoy the sunshine either and now looks as though its taken a turn for the worse (in time for the Regatta this weekend) - might see you at the firework display
Well woo-hoo and congrats on the new desk and the new flat screen!! And wow, things sound busy at your place. We are having lovely weather here in Ottawa Canada and yes it is distracting. :-)
