#250 Plectrum or Plectra

My new (late birthday) wooden plectrums. From bottom: African Blackwood, African mahogany, African Zebrawood, Red Oak. They feel really nice to hold and play with, much nicer than plastic ones.

#249 Flat Tyre

Another cycling day and a first medal for GB! Woop woop! Lizzie Armistead won silver in the ladies road race, so I've drawn my flat tyre.

#248 Bike Seat

I am not promising to make an Olympic themed picture everyday but I'll give it a go! My bike seat in the shed links very nicely to the men's road race that is currently being contested. C'mon Cav!

#247 Olympic Rings

I am looking forward to the Olympics opening ceremony so much I may have got carried away with today's drawing. I'm not sure if the organising committee will come after me for making a drawing of the logo... Watch this space!

#246 Canvas's

Lots and lots of canvas's all ready for paintin' on.

#245 Great Britain v New Zealand

This, as I'm sure you all know, was the very first sporting action of the Olympic games. This was the very first kick of the game, I was there and we (GB) won! Oddly we were sat in amongst what I think we're some of the NZ players families, they were very passionate, but also very quiet when GB scored with a thundering free kick. I blummin' love the Olympics!

#244 Leaf shadows

I may be a little obsessed with shadows at the minute. This is the last little bit of sunlight on our garden before the house blocks it off. Complete with slug eaten leaf shadows.

#243 Shadow

Sure, the sun is good but so are shadows! Don't forget the shadows.

#242 Rug

This is our front room rug, a devil to vacuum!

#241 Pine Tree

This tree was a tiny sapling that grew on the street near our old flat underneath its huge parent, we snuck out in the dead of night and dug it up...years later it grows very happily on our patio.

#240 Debbie's Embroidery

Debbie is making these great embroidered ladies at the minute, very nice so I drew one for you!

#239 Trowell in the shed

It was hanging there so I painted it. That's how it goes.

#238 Studio

Not my personal studio just a corner of one of the ones at work (University of glozzershire) nice light effect this evening from the ... Wait for it... The sun!

#237 New Phone

Hooray I have regained contact with the outside world, do please send me a text with your name on because I .. Umm.. Well ...I put the old one in the washing machine. So I've lost all my numbers. There I've admitted it. Fool.
