1. Sesame Street Seasons

   Posted on 12:00pm Wednesday 15th Jun 2016

   I always loved the Seasons song from Sesame Street, it gave me the idea to create a collection of mugs for each season. I enjoyed creating a small rhyme to go with each season.
   I needed a new design for a advert in House Beautiful magazine for August so I got started on Summer. I do like my first drawing but nothing is in scale with each other so on the final work everything seemed to get bigger so I had to leave alot of the design out. I do love the finished painting but I am not sure if bigger is always better.

   

   

   

   

2. Twos company, threes a crowd!

   I loved this photo of a swan with hydrangea which I took at Abbotsbury Swannery last summer. I knew one day I would get round to painting it. In my first drawing there were two swans with a cygnet but on my final drawing it looked a bit squashed so I ended up with just the two swans. Part of me wishes I had kept the baby in, but at least now I can use it for maybe a wedding or anniversary card.
