Day #264 Flick of paint

Don't you hate when you are decorating and you splash a bit of paint but don't notice it until it is dry...... I do. So I have painted a painting of a splash of paint on my painting. Clear?

Day #263 Giraffe Poo

After a day at the zoo with my three nephews, all under 10, obviously my life has been punctuated by poo. Bird poo, mammal poo, reptile poo. As their favourite animal is the giraffe I thought I would put some giraffe feaces in the picture!

Day #262 Spider

I've been hard at work Uncling my three young nephews today, so what sort of Uncle would I be if I didn't paint a dirty great big spider?

Day #261 Yellow Ladybrd

I've been laying floor and glossing doors today but in a brief lull I spotted one of these little chaps, a yellow ladybird. 

Day #260 Caterpillar

I bet this is one of them cabbage whites going after my broccoli...oh no this one likes sweets!

Day #259 Two shells and a piece of ocean glass

Objects courtesy of my good friend Lee B from his cornish travels, two ocean shells and a piece of ocean glass.

Day #258 Paint Swatch

This is pretty close to the colour we are painting our spare room. I should crack on and paint it really...

Day #257 Cactus

This is Debbie's barrel cactus and she has had for ... More years than anyone cares to remember ;) suffice to say its quite large and threatening to topple. A bit like me.

Day #256 Cabbage White Butterlfy Decoy

There are an inordinate amount of cabbage whites butterflies at the minute, must be the hot weather. Whatever the reason we don't want them laying their eggs on our broccoli so we made a load of these plastic decoys because apparently they don't like crowds! There seem to be less damage so hopefully it's working. 

Day #255 Dead Bee

I could paint dead insects all day! If they makes me odd then so be it!

Day #254 The White Horse at Uffington

We went to visit the white horse on Uffington hill in Oxfordshire today. So, naturally I have painted my own white horse on a bread roll.

Day #253 Wine Cork

My mind isn't on painting tonight, I can't stop thinking about the bottle of wine we are about to consume.

Day #252 Cucumber

It transpires that five cucumber plants is rather a lot! We have them all over the place so it only seemed right and proper that I put one of them into my 'big ole painting of the year' so here it is lurking behind some sweets.

Day #251 hole in the wall

It's the first day of my two week hols and I found myself emptying out the spare room, ripping off bits of wood and pulling out nails screws and picture hooks. Bit warm for it mind you! So I made a few holes, he is one of them, right at the top there near the kangaroo head! I liked it because it looks a bit like an elephant.
