I felt in the mood to use my coloured pencils for this one. It's been ages since I have used them and it was lovely to choose which colours to use and not have to mix paint. Don't get me wrong, I love to mix paint too but I enjoyed having a change of medium.  I need you to help me find a name for her. She'd like to have gone to Glastonbury Festival this weekend and is all dressed up with no-where to go. Ballgowns at Glastonbury you may ask? Of course! :)

So I've been heaving and hoeing furniture from one room to the next, it's going to be lovely when it's all finished but I'm too impatient to wait until then to show you,  so here's a little peep of it so far... Like her older sister she asked for black walls. I do encourage self expression but I draw the line at black walls I'm afraid. (No, her sister didn't get black walls either!) I am nudged once again by the distant memory of having to paint over a dark colour. Not to be repeated! In between my bouts of furniture removal, I've been sploshing and stamping and doing all kinds of things with paint in my sketchbook... Yes I've been using my acrylics again. I'm hoping to do some more once things have settled down here. The house feels so different with just the three of us. I've had a ...

This week's word was making me hungry so instead of drawing food I've opted for a different interpretation!
