#81 Two Slides

Don't get excited its not playground slides! These are my two guitar slides for when I pretend to be a 1920's style bluesman, I used to used a broken bottle neck but over the years I have had various health and safety training and after I had risk assessed my guitar playing I decided to go for the metal variety. Plus I cut myself on the broken glass one. Watercolour and pencil 19cm x 14cm click here to bid.

#80 Cupcake

Yesterday the Fine Art students at work (http://www.glos.ac.uk/) held a cake sale to raise money for their degree show. Inspired by this and seeing they had some cakes left over I have painted one of them for this evenings painting. All proceeds from the sale of this one will go towards the Pittville Degree show in June so have a bid on this painting, even if you don't like cake, and know you are helping out a fine bunch of art students! Instead of the normal deal where you would be bidding on paintings to help out a ex fine art student ;) (me!). Watercolour and pencil 19cm x 14cm click here to bid.

oh yeah it was going to be two cakes but I ate one! Hence the crumbs...

#79 A Chipping from an Anish Kapoor Sculpture

This little shard of painted rock has a wonderful little story, and I am going to tell it now. In about 1990 (or so) Debbie spent her work experience with the technicians working for the british sculptor Anish Kapoor. This is a piece that was chipped off one of the sculptures she worked on (through the construction process not once the piece was finished I hasten to add!) Debbie's job was to colour the rocks with the blue pigment you see on this piece. Now I have painted the painted rock, which was painted by Debbie Spencer for Anish Kapoor...neat.

#75 Tape and Dressing

We were having such a lovely day, visiting friends, having friends visit us, walking in the woods looking at lovely drifts of snowdrops watching the Rugby and thouroughly enjoying the English beating the Welsh, but then...disaster struck and our beutifully relaxing evening went down (or up?) the swanny, or three hours in casualty. An expletive uttered from the kitchen was the first I knew about Debbies unfortunate collision of knife, leek and finger. Don't be alarmed, dear reader (especially Debbies Mum), she still has most of her thumb, its just the tip of it that is missing, but Doug at Cheltenham hospital assures her it will become rounded again, in time. Of course, as the evening drew on there was some concern over my daily painting and whether we would be out of casualty in time..as you can see we were..phew. watercolour and pencil 19cm x 14cm click here to bid.
