With all the free time I have now, I have been able to finish this at last. He is painted using watercolour and Derwent Drawing pencils, with a touch of acrylic for the highlights. It is so good to be able to get on with the painting again - it has been very frustrating not having the time or the energy over the past few weeks. Hopefully, especially if this darn rain carries on, I will be able to get a lot of work done during the next 6 weeks - excellent!
I found this in my garden today - how spectacular is that? If anyone can tell me what on earth it is, I'd be grateful. I planted a load of summer bulbs a couple of years ago and I think it was among them, but I cannot remember what I planted. Gardening is a very hit and miss affair for me - if there is a space I'll jam something in and if it grows it grows, if it doesn't then it makes room for something else. I had to restrain myself at the garden centre yesterday from buying a sad banana tree for half price - there is already a large banana plant on our patio and no room for any more. But it looked so dejected, and there were so many lonely looking plants in the bargain corner.........

Just as well I photographed the flower, as we had yet another protracted bout of rain which destroyed it completely - poor thing didn't even last the day.
