Can’t see the wood for the copper

23 December 2020 Graeme Skinner

We thought the wall above the bed would be the ideal place for something a bit different, so, we decided to make a copper tree to go above it.

Great Dun Fell

13 December 202013 December 2020 Graeme Skinner

I had a scrap of illustration board lying around so I decided to practice a landscape in watercolour, well, I’ve been painting quite a few night scenes lately something in daylight was in order πŸ˜‰ . I’ve never tried one of Great Dun Fell before so I picked that as a subject. It’s one I need to revisit soon.

2 November 2020 Graeme Skinner

This months theme over on John Howe’s website is Creatures from Outer Space, I think the idea was for something scary so I went with the mice (Frankie and Benjy) from Hitchhikers πŸ˜‰ well, they are pan-dimensional beings from Magrathea who wanted to cut out Arthur Dent’s brain so they could be classed as a little scary πŸ™‚
