Hello, what's this?

Ah, an unusual visitor returns to the top rugby field - a creature wearing a very cosy fur coat, with a great liking for grass!

The Llama lives quite close by and breaks out occasionally, looking for pastures new.

Some time ago Julie posted photos of her wonderful studio shelf, which reminded me of my shelf below (although it's not in a studio). My brother made it over a decade ago, using old wood reclaimed from a school building. Over the years 'stuff' has accumulated in it and upon it!
The bird on the string used to hang in my daughters' bedroom when they were small.
The painted earthenware plate comes from Haiti.

Lucky horse shoes propped against the wall and a lovely canvas by Viv


The little plasticine 'cat' clutching a battery was made by my eldest daughter
when she was really young (pre-school), she also made the red heart - using the wax from one of those little circular French cheeses!
Lastly, two of my abstract canvases in the window of the Seascape Gallery.

Have a great weekend everyone. Bye for now, Lesley.

This includes a piece of anaglypta from Carol Parsons painting class back in March, 2009? This particular piece of wallpaper has already been used to 'print paint to canvas'. Victoria Hilliard produces lovely ceramic pictures inspired by nature, including the portrayal of moths and butterflies. Would I have produced this collage if Tori were not a member of Art Space Gallery? Maybe not. Everything is 'grist to the visual mill' as far as artists are concerned. 'Floral - Pedestal' this painting just evolved. Fun, fun and more fun! 'Floral - Feel Amazing'. I love this artwork! My daughter's boyfriend bought her flowers, including old fashioned roses, which provided the inspiration for the flowers at the top of the painting and the cellophane wrapper is...
