Poppies and Cat

Been a while since I blogged...!  SO I'm pursuing the jewellery  and oh so want to do enamelling again. Also I've  really put effort into offering Custom Pet Portraits in acrylic. Some of the pets have ended up in my own work as print for sale onto canvas or paper. http://www.saz.imagekind.com/
Just spent the last hour looking at most beautiful enamelling work..I  love this medium !. Incorporates design,pattern,theme,composition and making..right up my street;).
Also been great to get going on painting again, I'm bit partial to the square canvas.  There's new website to this portrait idea. http://www.mutleyandcoportraiture.com/ .  Really trying to keep things simple by separating it off the main site. Had to become a marketing feind to get this going..lol..

Next I'm going to pick on my own budgies for the next painting..named "Millie and Blue"  It's all 'Blue" fault that I have these two.. He turned up  ( from nowhere;) after few weeks, no sign of owner. Felt sorry for him ...decided he needed a friend. $11.99 later we have 'Millie" ..right little couple these two have become. Actually really sweet, so affection little peps:).....

found sketch

I find these loose drawings done on any scrap paper... usually forgotten that I've done them. This is Dan at one of my coffee shop haunts here in Vegas. Done in biro pen, i just love biro for some reason..think it picks up even the faintest lines that I want draw.

Think I might later digitally paint this, loose watercolor and chalk are favorite brushes. Digital has an image problem. Some folk think the computer does the work:(

My eldest son hanging out in the coffee shop whilst I'm try and figure out ..actually the last illustration shown here."I know a secret ..Ha ha ha"

Became interested in him when I became stuck on drawing hands.

Danny boy

Took a coffee moment and gave little Dan a piece of paper. I began to realise as I sketch him ..how MUCH HE MOVES. Well he is 3 1/2yrs old!
