….. at The Framery ….. with Batman !! …….
The Framery, Sharrow Vale Road, Sheffield
….. this painting has finally emerged, from humble beginnings in July 2012 (yes, 2012 !). I was waiting for that final touch of inspiration – and finally, it happened – “Batman” (real name !) the (?)Boston Terrier/French Bulldog – who is very cute AND sports a superb green tweed coat, as do Batmans owners 🙂
“Batman”
…..more seriously, Sue, owner of The Framery, is in the doorway. For more details about The Framery, which offers Bespoke & Ready-Made Frames, Cards, Gifts and Much More ….. please click the link here

….. not sure about …..
….. this painting …..
Porter Cottage
….. the building attracted me, white brickwork, signs galore, curved corner facade ….. but didn’t emerge as I envisaged (still, they rarely do). A definite challenge, and I think I’m finally happy with it (especially the Basset Hound) …..

…..eye,eye…..
….. here’s a recent sketch whilst waiting for someone at the Eye Hospital. A more obscure subject than usual, but making myself draw things as they arise, whether I “like” them or not, is a good discipline I think…..(adverse conditions too – busy hospital, standing room only and a new sketchbook with very “challenging” paper…) …..
In the Eye Department
…..speaking of discipline (you will gather, I have none), my very wise Agent has grounded me from attempting to go to the Farmers Market today – we are snowed (and iced) in and it was total madness on my part, so at the last minute I have finally seen the sensible option…..(and I’m still not happy about it 😦 as I SO wanted to be there !)…..as my buddy, L, would say “Waaaaaaaah !!!!”…..

….. next Sunday…..
….. is the local Farmers Market, for which I was asked to design the publicity flyer ….. and here it is …….
Nether Edge Farmers Market
….. its a bit wonky I now see, but thats vertigo for you 🙂 …… more importantly it features my “muse” Dennis (bottom left corner) peeking in ….. and Jean of Green End Farm, in her long green coat, who brings along her own-grown plants & shrubs (yes, an actual farmer !) …..
….. Many thanks to NENG* for asking me to do this flyer 🙂 ……
….. all being well, I will be there with my artwork, and many of the local shops open on market sundays too – such as Emma at The Old Sweet Shop (purple shop in the flyer) which has a fantastic range of eclectic artwork and gifts ….. as well as over 80 stalls, crafts, food, there is lots of live entertainment too…..
