We were doing...

I finished the body off first with some more burgundy. I'd already added some yellow ochre to his front a few days earlier.

Because we've all got colds at the moment, my Mum and step-dad didn't go out for a meal at the Dr Johnson pub. I didn't feel like putting all my painting equipment out on the dining room table, and then putting it away again to...

So today I pained a mini canvas black first, then I finished off the painting of the Abbey Ruins. There wasn't much to do to it, I just needed to add a little foliage.
After that, I took the painting of the Abbey Ruins in to my...

So, I've just finished the background to my flower painting now, and just started a bit of the flowers themselves.
So, when I last showed you my work in progress, I'd just done the bottom part of the background.
Today I...

Here is the finished painting of the frog.
I did the background in acrylic paint, but when it came to doing the actual frog I decided to use my acrylic inks. I also used a mini palette that came with my black canvases and...

This is how far I've got with the frog painting.

I left that to dry and did...

Here is the finished painting of the lion.
I wanted to make sure I finished it today so that I can show it to Paul when he comes round tomorrow. But that means I may have rushed it a bit and not done the beet job of it.
