Took a picnic (must be mad!) and had a day out along the coast at Morecambe. Yes it was cold, but getting back in the car afterwards for a cup of coffee and a bit of cake - what more could you want? |

I've been working hard recently to get some new paintings done for Artko in time for the Trade show which is on at NEC Birmingham at the moment and here's some of the results!
 |
Seaside shops
Two framed prints (and me!)
|
Lakeside prints
One of Artko's displays showing some of the countryside range (not all of these are my work)

Owl sketch
Thought I'd have a go at making a fridge magnet from my sketch.
|
Modelling Kit
I bought some air drying clay and found some "tools"
|  |
 |
Getting carried away!
I really enjoyed it so I had a go at a few more designs. They're still drying out so when I've painted them I'll take some more pictures.

 | Old glass bottles I love my collection of old bottles and glass which I display at home |
Window display I have collected them for years now and keep saying - no more! |  |
 | New Find Blue glass is my favourite and I found these last week in a local charity shop and I'm afraid I couldn't resist buying them. They were hidden at the back of a shelf and I felt like I'd found buried treasure! I'll have to find somewhere to display them at the Studio as there's no more room at home. |
Blue Bottles at Wolf House Studio Although I'm not too sure there'll be room here either! |  |

A little late I know, but I want to wish everyone a very happy and prosperous New Year! I had a wonderful break with family and friends and am now ready to start the new year with renewed enthusiasm!
So even though the Studio is closed till February, I'm already thinking of new paintings and have actually got one on the go as we speak! This is a new countryside painting for Artko so all being well, prints should be available in the Spring.
 I also have plans for another seascape. I couldn't resist this view yesterday. |
