Frogs Showing Off

These frogs like to put on a show and love to be admired while they perform.
Burnt sienna, rose madder and cobalt blue...hmmm I must do that combination again :)

Thanks April, I've just accepted the Twitter request, great to see you there!
Thanks Ruthie, that's a lovely thing to say. :) You're right, they do look like autumn colours. I wasn't thinking of that when I chose them but I must have been influenced!
Thanks Crayola, welcome to my blog :)
Hi Nicola, I'm so happy to hear that! :)

Summer Breeze

What's happened to the weather? It's raining and windy and my gas was switched of all day yesterday so it was cold too! This little sketch popped into my sketchbook from my windy head. I finished this painting on canvas above a few days ago, it's called 'Safe Harbour' and soon after finished the other painting (with the bird flying a kite) too. I didn't have a name for it until the end and I decided upon 'Summer Breeze'. That was a day when the sun was still shining but the wind was beginning to stir. Summer Breeze sounds quite soothing doesn't it and I quite like the song of the same name. :) That guitar intro takes me back to being 13 before teenage angst really set in!

I love the handpainted wallpaper in one of the rooms, so detailed.
