Bit behind with my updates again, just another week of feeling not so good and a bout of tonislitis to boot. I am sure the weather has something to do with it, as the UK has turned autumnal very quickly so it has been a mixture of high winds, rain and feeling a tad cool! Having said that in past years Sept and October have been very nice with temps in the 20s and that really nice pukka indian summer feel to it, so here is hoping next week will be a little better, with me included.
The Rottie is still being worked on, but I have also started another drawing of a couple of Westies. This is going to be a pair and I know them very well, the one you see above is called Angus and he is 13 years old, a real sweetie and despite his age, going blind in one eye and dodgy back legs he has these spurts of energy where he runs around like a 1 year old for about 10 mins and then is out of puff for the rest of the day. I have to own to being a little bit in love with him because he reminds me so much of my beloved Monty in his last months of life, plus I can pick him up sit him on my knee and love him loads. His companion is a female called Penny and a very different kettle of fish, she can be snappy at times,and one has to be careful how you approach her to give her a little stroke, especially on her back as for some reason she is very sensitive there, but she is still very sweet and loving, and as both of these are rescues one does not know what has been in their past. Size of this one is 12 x 10 in Graphite.
I am using the new Blogger interface which is kinda of nice, although the damm spell check does not work, it always seems to play up, but this style is nice and clean, and fairly easy to use. I shall continue on with it and see how it pans out.
