From the Sublime to the Ridiculous.....

I think this horse portrait is just about finished - I need to leave it for a day or so then come back and see if it needs tweaking.  This one was just for fun, using a fellow blogger's photo of her horse - I thought painting a spotty horse (yes, I am sure there is some technical term for a spotty horse, but I don't know it...) would be vastly different to the brown ones (again, I can't differentiate between a chestnut, bay, dun or roan so don't judge me) that I have been painting lately.  Boy, was I right! This has been painted in watercolour and was quite tricky.  Very enjoyable though.

No more art commissions currently on the horizon - if you've been dithering, better grab me now!

On the other hand, I am still working hard on the knitting commissions. 

Yup, they are indeed slugs.  Poseable slugs. 

Next job, chickens with egg-laying capabilities.....it could be a looong weekend.
