Pattern Number 3- 'Best Laid Schemes'

This started off as something completely different.. first inspired by thoughts of trips to Australia.

Pattern Number 2

I did open the window this morning and it was sunny and bright and i could see the the trees in Kelvingrove Park. Wanted to keep drawing birds but i ran out of time.

Good guys

Mike Perry- always loved this guys work.
Jeremiah Maddock- just discovered this guy's work

Optimistic Hope

Well, Ive decided to set myself a challenge in the hope of productivity. I shall post one new pattern every day. Now the fact I have said this to the very few people out there following Im sure it will motivate me.

Pattern Number 1 is Darken. My dad just finished his stained glass piece today, so its slightly inspired by that thought. Also I opened my window in a very optimistic "its sunny so its warm" jolt of excitement, only to realise how bloody freezing it was, but saw a lil bird sitting in my hedge. So it inspired my wanting to draw a bird time so.. freezingness = bad times, inspiration= good times. Shall i open the window tomorrow?

Signage

This is how I spent my Saturday afternoon. Making sign to sell in Boxwood. Ill attach some ribbon on the back so they can hand around the house. Already running out of phrases and have 15 waiting to be painted. Quote/phrase suggestions please?

Tripping around...

Inspired by a lovely stroll around glasgow in autumn sunlight, love stumbling across forgotton buildings...

 Picked up a copy of 'Letters from the City:An illustrated Glasgow Philavery' . For all lovers of glasgow this is a lovely little collection of art and prose from anyone passionate about Glasgow.  Was lucky enough to be featured on the cover.
