Swings and Roundabouts.

Hi all,
       This has been a week of ups and downs and with me getting myself into a little bit of two and eight and not getting a whole lot done.Without going into too much detail suffice to say that there are changes a foot in my life which has kind affected me more than I thought, hence the lack of blog updates, art and other stuff. Today has dawned very mild but wet, but least ways I have managed to give myself a good talking too and had a chat with hubby which has helped me put a few things into perspective.Don't you just hate times like these when nothing goes right and everything seems wrong!
     The picture above is a young lady called Holli who wanted a picture with an element of make believe thrown in hence the little dragon. I took the photo of her myself at a dog show with that gorgeous quirky hat she had just bought ( I nearly nicked it for myself) and created the little dragon in shades of lilac/green to complement the colours of pink. I really enjoyed doing this because it got my creative juices flowing which is always a great feeling and her mother is great to work with as she has a great imagination and loves anything these lines, so much so she wants something similar of her and partner....watch this space!
     The scan is not great and for some reasons the colours look a little bit washed out, but as always much better in the flesh, and what does not show is that I had used a little bit of glitter on the dragons wings,size 8x8 inches mounted,CPs on Stonehenge.

  1. Vic, it's perfect! I feel like I know Holli because of the way you've portrayed her! I admire your work so much! I need to slow down with my art and really concentrate on one piece for a while. You've inspired me! Would you consider joining a new artists group? I'd love to see what you come up with for the theme "Candy and Sweets." http://littleartclub.blogspot.com/

  3. Great picture of Holli - and I agree about that hat, its fabulous. Isn't it fun to do something like this every now and then. I had one recently where I had to draw my client's step-dad in the guise of DelBoy

  6. Hi Vic,
    Hope your feeling better,but I know what you mean:))
    But when I take a look at Beaudor's gorgeous drawing that helps.
    About the babybrother it will take a bit longer,have to wait for the right combi,and we also have more time then for the little one.
    Take care,
    Marja and a high 5 from Beaudor
