I have been painting, honest! Here are the lids to a couple of trinket boxes that have been commissioned. The first is, of course, Otis in his favourite fishing spot.
I have painted so many Otis boxes with the same picture on them that it made a refreshing change to be asked to paint a different bear. This is Popeye, a magnificent boar who also lives at Brooks Falls, Katmai National Park.
Both paintings look a little faded here - photo taken in the earlymorning light and they also need varnishing which brings out the colour. I have one more to paint - Otis again, but in a slightly different pose.
As it has been really hot here this week, I can't bring myself to knit or crochet the current WIP's I have on the go as it would be the equivalent of sitting under a blanket, so I crocheted a little eagle just for fun.
