Oh dear! Well, I found it very difficult. I kind of switched between rough and ready, hoping to get an outline of the whole, to trying to do detail of light and shadow, to working with the perspective lines, to focusing on the boots (oh, how I long to draw boots!).
Anyway, I was not at all happy with the output (but happy to offer the excuse that it was done in half as much time as usual!) - but no, really, it is poor. I was not going to post it at all, but then I got a request today from T-bird!!! A fan club!!!! So here goes "for better or for worse..." Excuse the wonky legs (mine and its!).
Other news... the shrug is off the needles... just needs blocking and sewing! I want to do a flower fastening with french knitted cords.
The baby blackbirds have been seen this week in the garden. They are nearly full grown. It's great to see them, and think of them as ours.
I have been working all week designing the user interface for an educational product to be used by teachers to analyse class test results. It has been very engaging, and I am pleased to now have clocked up input to 5 products for the same company. They are all small pieces of work, but they add to my CV and to the company books.
Also done major family events this weekend just gone including steam trains and engine sheds! Secured 6 foot teddy bear to open our school fete, AND I have volunteered to escort my boy's class on a school trip next week (whatever came over me!).
So pretty busy - hoping for a quiet week ahead!

Thank you so much for posting that, it's wonderful, and I mean it! If you really don't like this picture can I have it?
It looks to me like an old rat sitting in a deckchair playing the double bass, by the river, ok I cannot see a river but my brain has added it to the scene.

We wholeheartedly approve of this weeks 'art' offering.

Thank you both (Dancin' Fool and Mr. Bird). I think it must be a case of the blind leading the shortsighted... but your support is very much appreciated.
After your comments, I think I can see Rolf Harris warming up his didgeridoo in the picture. But then again I was always very gifted when it came to those ink blot tests!!!!!
