Frances, I think you should have a retrospective exhibition. I look at so much art and am amazed how awful the draughtsmanship is. They still manage to sell stuff but lord knows how.
I live with my husband in Devizes in Wiltshire where I spend my time writing, reading, riding (I am the lucky owner of a beautiful horse, Blue), and keeping up with my four children and an increasing number of small grandchildren (eight so far). I was for many years a nurse and a Relate counsellor. I have taught creative writing both at a local college and a prison, and I review a wide variety of items - including books - for the Amazon Vine programme.I write to death row prisoners in America, being a life-long opponent jof the death penalty. And I spend too much time blogging..

I love that your dog is smiling. Your daughters made me go "aw" and yours made me smile.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Colette. How kind.
DeleteI have total admiration for both of you because they both look like what they are supposed to be. Personally I can't even draw a straight line.
DeleteYour daughter is a talented lady. Your drawing is………er…smiley ! (It could be a cat though !)
ReplyDeleteSmiley is good. Thank you, Frances.
DeleteWell, yours is obviously a cat, and the chair is a different one, too.
ReplyDeleteMeike, I'm disappointed in you. You have to use your imagination! And the chair isn't meant to be the same.
DeleteIt's better than mine would have been!
ReplyDeleteWell, thank you, Wendy. That makes me feel a lot better.
DeleteThere is a slight stylistic difference between them, I agree.
ReplyDeleteStylistic difference....yes. I like that Thank you, Oatsy.
DeleteOops...Patsy, I meant. I see too much of that horse.
DeleteFrances, I think you should have a retrospective exhibition.
ReplyDeleteI look at so much art and am amazed how awful the draughtsmanship is. They still manage to sell stuff but lord knows how.
Ooooh....do you think I could sell mine, Adrian? Any offers?
DeleteEvery picture is improved with a frame Frances! That is the secret.
ReplyDeleteA frame! Of course! That's where I went wrong. Thank you, Maggie.
DeleteI'm very impressed. I couldn't have drawn it the right way up never mind on its side.
ReplyDeleteGraham, I suspect it was the camera that was held to fit it in.
DeleteGraham, I didn't exactly draw it on its side. It kind of ended up that way. Have you arrived yet?
DeleteAdrian, it was an iPad, and it wasn't held any particular way....at least, I don't think it was.
I'm hugely impressed. Both are gorgeous in their different ways. x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous....oh, Joanna. What a discerning woman you are. Thank you.
DeleteLove your quirky drawing, Frances!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet of you, Rosemary. Thank you!
DeleteArtistic talent just taking a different expression :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice thing to,DT. Thank you!
