……..returning dalle vacanza, we kick-off with the Lescar, SharrowVale Road. Lurking in the doorway, could that be Johnny Vegas, one of many great comics to perform at the (Little)Last Laugh Comedy Club ?

Cool Dude
BabyBug
…….my impressive entomologist colleague has advised me that “Baby Bee” is in fact a Ladybird !! What was I thinking ?? Very Embarassing, but Hugely Funny 🙂
(The clue was in the red/black spots, as opposed to yellow/black stripes – just slightly obvious)
Now renamed BabyBug ………….
SharrowVale Road
…and Cafe Ceres, SharrowVale Road, together with “Bee Baby” (actually spotted in Waitrose).
"Bee Baby"
OKeh Cafe, Abbeydale Road,Sheffield
….my recent lack of painting productivity has been noted ! Not been well 😦
This “Okeh Cafe” watercolour will be on show at Sheffield Winter Gardens (Heeley Art Club Exhibition), starting tuesday 12th July, 11am. (see Upcoming Events for details).
OKeh Cafe – 116 Abbeydale Road, Sheffield – definitely worth a visit !
Fat Face, Orchard Square
Wickwire, Nether Edge (with Pug)
……and more on the way soon – by popular demand (yes, really !) and possibly something even more exotic.

Thankyou to everyone who bid for The Fat Cat, and to the lucky winner, who placed the winning bid just 2 minutes before the final deadline. Thanks to The Fat Cat pub & brewery for creating the Skinny Catte special beer in honour of the painting, and a Huge Thankyou to the Red Cross, it was a truly impressive event and a privilege to be involved 🙂
