I took him in a bag today, the portrait that is ! and he wasn't flipping well there ! Someone who knows him gave me his number, so I contacted him and he's coming along next week.

I was looking at the post about your dog painting and thought about this one.....have you seen him yet? If so what did he think?

I have been in touch with him and he's very much a fair weather person, last week too much fog and frost, he may well be there today, but as in his appearance he's somewhat eccentric ! I'll let you know. Thanks for asking Manda.

Thanks for bumping this up Manda.
Somehow I missed it.
That is really good. Wish I could draw a straight line, let alone a portrait :?

Many years ago,I used to drink in the Pen and Parchment down by the bridge and we used to get a bloke come in that somehow your picture reminds me of,would his first name be Ken?

Wow I,ve just caught this thread. What a fantastic talent you have Angela, the portrait is fantastic you caught him very well, and your 2nd picture of the cow is also brilliant. Its one of the things I wish I could do, I bought some water color paints, brushes etc around ten years ago to have a go but after a couple of rubbish attempts decided that an artist I aint never going to be :-D

Don't give up, you have tried with one of the most difficult mediums though, in my opinion, give good old pencils a whirl )t'

You know Angela I may just do that )t' , as with a lot of things that I do, I may never be the best. But I do enjoy all the things I do hobby wise, and I suppose thats the real reason for it all. Again a great talent you have. )t'
