some holiday "art"

"Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work I go" ... and didn't that Christmas holiday break go quickly! 

Seriously, if there was no photographic evidence, I could believe that it didn't actually even happen :)  So, trying a little sketching, and some water colouring as well. With my (old) travel watercolour set (round cases) and a lovely new set (bottom left) from Sandra, I'm all set to go!


But, where to start? Well, after just fluffing around for a while, I piled up all the books we had taken away for the little holiday and started with them. Honestly, I don't know why I should have the nerve to show you, 'cos anyone can see it's not finished ...

 
and quite possibly, that's how it will stay :)  Luckily, I had borrowed some books from the library, so my next attempt was simply to copy something (using only two colours) ...


Anyway, it kept me amused ... for a while :)

  2. I agree that the break time went too quickly and I wasn't feeling well for most of it to boot! It looks like you have had fun dabbling with your paints.

  3. Still no washing machine repairman. Have logged a service call online but also trying to get hold of a local guy. It all takes time. Back to work next week and I hope to get a few more projects completed before I am back in the mad rush called work.
