Like looking in a mirror

I run a drawing and painting class on Thursdays for children aged 7 to 10 years. Yesterday we did self portraits and I loved what the children did. These are some of my favourites. Look at how brilliant they are! I'll take real inspiration from these when drawing people and trying new techniques.

Through my Letterbox

I've been getting some really nice things in the post lately. Here they are:
Jamie Shelman who lives in Martha's Vineyard was really generous and sent me two prints of her work. I was so pleased.

Ingrid Gomez who lives in Chicago sent me a really sweet painting of a tree in Autumn

And Emma Bradshaw sent me her families version of a TODAY I SAW

When Daniel saw this one in the letterbox he said 'ahhhhh'. I think he pines after the Lake District, where he's from. Thank you for all my lovely little postal treats! x
