Snowdrops in a jar

8''x8'', oil on gessoboard-SOLD

Before I start on my daffodil-fest I thought I’d post the last of the snowdrops.  I didn’t get to paint today as some old friends called in which went beyond lunchtime and then I had to make a mercy dash to school to extract child, dash to shops and buy new astro trainers as soles of current incumbents apparently flopping around ten inches behind the wearer.

More exciting news today.  My blogger chum Haideejo  Summers has nominated me for a Liebster award which is apparently for blogs that you like.  How lovely and it means I get to make some nominations in turn.  So, assuming you can’t duplicate,  here goes.  Firstly, to Neil Carroll  who is a fellow-brit and paints dark and moody still lifes relentlessly.  Also to Natalie Italiano who is doing a brilliant project painting wonderful teenage portraits.  Lastly, to Laurie Moses who has set up a Daily Painters UK website and is also very good at imparting her knowledge.  For some unknown reasons, I can’t link to Haideejo’s website but it is www.haideejo.blogspot.com and well worth a look as she is a colourist who makes you think about colour!

Anyway, hopefully tomorrow will get to my white tulips which are opening at a rapid rate of knots so I could wake up in the morning to find a heap of white petals on the table.
