Another quick little watercolour done while teaching one of my students. I'm getting quite a collection of them now and am very happy that the boy is enjoying painting mini still life. Not only is it great to see his progress, but it is very good for me too, working fast & as accurately as I can. Next week we decided it will be vegetables so I have to keep an eye open for something that is interesting but can be achieved in one hour.
I've had this delicate linen yarn for quite a while now and never had the time to use it. I began a lace scarf with it and then discovered once I had finished one ball of yarn that there was no way that the second and only other ball of it would stretch to making a full length scarf. After searching the site where I bought it and finding it no longer in stock, and after a bit of soul searching, I started the scarf again but with half the width and it should make a decent length scarf. I've reached the point of knitting from the original piece into the new one and trying not to think of the time wasted!
The next few weeks should be very busy - after a quiet couple of months, I now have three dog portraits lined up. It's good that the work is coming in now that summer is drawing to a close. One of them might be a little tricky - the photos are from about 25 years ago and very grainy and small - it could be a real challenge to get anything out of them!
