That’s My Boy!

Around the age of 13 Years, My Son decided to learn another instrument. Whilst deciding which one to choose, one of my Daughter’s friends offered to teach him to play the Saxophone. After considering, that would be okay, maybe?! He had about six lessons with my Daughter’s friend, decided he liked it – And there was no looking back. Within five years he had risen through the ranks of different bands to become the Lead Sax player in Our Home Town’s Youth Concert Band and Youth Jazz orchestra.  Within four and a half years from start he had reached, With Merit, Grade 8 Jazz on his Saxophone. (He was also Lead Violinist in our Town’s Youth Orchestra, a Member of The Halle Youth Orchestra for four years and attained Grade 8 Distinction on his Violin.

Dot by Dot! Out of My Head!!

Another day of ‘Doodling’ ended up with this ‘Dotty’ Ink Creation. The whole image was done one dot at a time. The portrayed illustration is actually from  my imagination- COMPLETELY MADE UP. Though I did take some still life inspiration from a chrysanthemum I had in a vase on the window ledge. I was very pleased with the Hands!

The Philosopher and The Scribe

Somehow, or just because, I decided one day to use up the colour pallet I rarely deal with when doing landscapes or portraits. Liking better to utilise than leave to waste, I thought the best way to make the colours useful being in the form of abstract art. To which point I became more and more fascinated with the series as they emerged onto the canvas in front of me. The irony of this is that as I got into the moment I ran out of the colours I was using and had to go buy more!

Letting my Brain and paintbrush work together leads to all kinds of results. Here is the finished creation. Even though I painted it, I still find things which intrigue me on the canvas!
