Nice banner!

Parcel to Jan is...

...Ready to leave my home.
Melissa's book is wrapped up safe, snug and prepared for what lies ahead.

Playing about...

...with ideas for my entry into Alison's book and having fun.

not sure this will be the final version but I'm getting closer.

....and while I was scanning in couldn't resist a little photochopping!!

eventually I am going to have to buy some inks and try doing this by hand!

Ready to post round two.

**I am by no means an Aboriginal Artist**

But.................

I wanted Melissa's wee turtle to meet an Aussie relative.

So my Inspiration for this drawing comes from an "Original" painting

by Gerry Surha, a genuine Aboriginal artist from Atherton, Far North Queensland.

His paintings are SENSATIONAL.

Wee Turtle needed a parachute to land safely, I'm hoping you don't mind

the addition to your drawing Melissa?

Unfortunately my colours did not come up as bright in these photographs.

They are much nicer in reality.

PS: It is so soothing drawing all those dots, my eyes kept

getting tired and I actually fell asleep a couple of times.

About 90% done. Will probably fuss with it a little over the next week as there is time. This my attempt to update the Rockwell painting and it was inspired by Tracy's quote. Hope you like it Tracy! There is a little spot in the museum for Clare to claim. Or is that a window? Hmmmm

Guess what....

arrived in the post today......

Alison, your drawing is fabulous. Very gentle but colourful. It reminds me of a children's book illustration. I appreciate the sentiment too and will enjoy being inspired and influenced by your work to create the next page.

Oops...

...my moly is a little late in leaving the UK but should now be winging its way to the USA. Look out for the logo, Tracy

In the end I went for colour.....

...loads of colour

Hope it arrives safely!
