#157 Pork Pie

Some days you need pastry, do you know what I mean?

#156 Oil Burner

Oh dear the house smells of fire! Not because we have one, I hope. It's from a neighbours coal fire, but I think they might be burning something unpleasant. Which is why I have put some nice smelling oil into the oil burner!

#155 Rock cake

My rock cakes are legendary. If not mythical.

#154 Pineapple

Rainy day brightened up by a sunny pineapple.

#153 Seedling

A sunflower seedling, I will try to remember to draw one of its flowers later in the year!

#152 Air Freshener

I have a smelly drawer. I think it is from a wooden box that has been used to keep some art materials in that went off and smelled bad. I can't get the whiff out of the box so, I have secreted this inside the drawer in an attempt to ward off the stinky stink.

#151 Cotton Rolls

It's been a day of raspberry planting, sowing and sewing, snooker watching and cake baking/eating. I thought these summed the day up quite nicely, apart from the cake perhaps.

#150 Medieval wall

This wall is in Tewkesbury such a nice colour I had to make a picture of it. I like how you wouldn't know what it is if I didn't tell you.

#149 Tyre in a Field

I like the position of the tire, in a Constable painting that would be a tree, sometimes referred to as a retroussé tree. It leads the eye into the painting. Here I have used the retroussé tyre for similar purposes.

#148 View From Littledean (aka public footpath)

I went to Cinderford today to start an Artists working in schools course, I spent a little bit of time on the way home landscape hunting and found this view of the Severn estuary from Littledean. Then it rained on me so I went home.

#147 Duck

I mentioned this chap yesterday and today you can see him.

#146 Canada Goose

I went for a morning of IT training today, I can now change anything on our faculty web page...... The best thing is I got to walk with the ducks and geese on the way back to the car.

#145 ID Card

First day back at work after a couple of weeks off which was a shock to the system. I had a little trouble remembering which doors to flash my ID card at, which ones will open for me and which ones I have to open myself!

#144 Banana cake

Baking, a traditional Sunday activity. It's always nice to go to work with a bit of cake on a Monday morning. This is my banana tray bake all cut up into sections. With a bit of experimentation in the painting of the icing sugar on top.
