Classic Mini………..red,with eyelids………..
……….chrome “eyelids” around the headlights. Spotted at Tesco Millhouses.
The Fat Cat……”seriously skinny”……work in progress….
…..seriously….. because this watercolour will be donated to Artists For the Red Cross, an Exhibition and Auction of works donated by selected local artists, to be held in Sheffield Winter Gardens 2-4 June……..aiming to raise £3,000 for the British Red Cross…………
…..and skinny…..because this is my second version of this quirky landmark (and the short timescale lent itself to a slimline piece !) ……mind you, it will hopefully include a pretty nifty Scooter……
…….
.see the finished version soon.

Here’s………Roobarb !……………
………..
brilliantly named by my Avant-Garde friend today at the Farmers Market. From my “Union Road/New Habits” painting. We don’t know the dogs name, but he has that sizzly, electrified look of Roobarb from the cult 70’s cartoon (Roobarb & Custard).
THANKYOU to everyone who made positive comments today, about my artwork 🙂

My New Pencil……..not as boring as it sounds
To sustain creativity, regular treats are needed. One of the best is to acquire a new pencil. Whilst having a liquid treat, I admire my latest……………..
Pink Sheaffer - pencil & watercolour on Moleskine(*)
……a 0.7mm Sheaffer mechanical pencil, in Pink, purchased yesterday from one of the best shops in Sheffield – F.G.Thomas, 25 Surrey Street, a real Aladdins Cave of scribing instruments,materials and knowledge – a shop we should treasure ! (* drawn with 0.5mm Waterman. But my very best pencil is a basic wood Bruynzeel from Holland, very chewed, but draws brilliantly !)
Botanical Gardens ……..International Women’s Day….Art Exhibition
A great exhibition today in Sheffield Botanical Gardens Pavilion, to mark the Global Centenary Year of International Women’s Day (8 March). Truly inspirational work by Sheffield women artists, many of whom battle with adversity.
Here is my art colleague Pat, displaying a huge range of paintings, cards and unique handmade bags…..and holding a splendid banana !
Many thanks to Annie for organizing the event – hopefully more events like this coming soon to add extra “zing” to weekends in the Glass-Houses…………….
Nether Edge Road …..2 years on…..and is that Nigel Slater ?
Nether Edge Road 2011
Latest watercolour of Nether Edge Road, updated from 2009 version below, since Scuba Duba swam off into the sunset and Homemade expanded with a new Deli. Is that food supremo, Nigel Slater, wandering into view ? The Scuba Duba version features “Dog” a local rescue greyhound.

Homecoming – The Topolino !
Fiat 500 "Topolino" - Postcard Cafe Anniversary Design
Welcome to the Official Homecoming of the Fiat 500 “Topolino” postcard, designed to celebrate the First Birthday of Postcard Cafe earlier this year. Reflecting the Industrial Pier of the Postcard Cafe mast-head, the pale blue sky, and deep blue sea, we all feel it is a real gem, and even, as we say locally “Bloody Good” !
