Irish Setter done.

Hi all,
      As you can see left, I have now finished the Irish Setter, and what a joy she was to do,just love that collar ! Having the pencils back in my hands felt sooo good, and I am raring to get started on the Mastiff.  I would of had done a little this week, but I have been busy painting stones for a friend of mine, they are all bugs, of funky colours and patterns and once I have photographed them will post some up.
  We finally had some good amounts of sunshine today which was nice, albeit the wind was still a tad chilly, but even so we made the most of it. Last week walking along the beach we came across a dead rat, a very large one which Bluebell thought it would be great to roll in not just once but twice which led to her having a bath each time, which she hated ! We avoided that spot for a while, but as she so loves this particular place because it is great for hunting we went back on that trail today, but with no rat thank god, so it was a lovely afternoon, with a hot cup of tea and jam donuts for afters. I think Spring is finally on the way yipppee !
