Fish on a plate #1

Still working hard, here's some fish..(not sure I've finished but first of a series)..drawn from a photo (when I should have been cleaning on my only day off this week) because it's way too hot to do it from life......funny smelly fish stories to follow soon.
Thanks for your kind comments everyone!

Blueberry Cheesecake

Blueberry cheesecake......summer courses are over so I'm hoping to get back to a regular drawing and painting routine, not to mention catching up with everyone!

Beer bottles

I borrowed these from a friend.

Box of Chocolates

This is for all the chocolate lovers out there  from a delicious box of Lindt chocolates

Many thanks to my students for the gift

Bottle Gourd

Fresh bottle gourds (you often see them dried and decorated.)


I've been doing Summer Workshops for two weeks so not had much time.
Last week the Olympics in London and this week I'm in Ancient Egypt with the kids

Bird's Nest

Work in progress. I'm going  to draw this from a different angle.
Not sure what bird made this nest but it does have plastic on the outer layer. I think I actually prefer the first stage of the drawing below, I found the inside layer more fun to draw.........

Another cauliflower

I enjoy painting cauliflowers but I was distracted as I'm eager to get started on a bird's nest I've just been given.(Now the tiny ants have vacated) Most women get flowers, diamonds or chocolates........
This is a different cauliflower, now to make a cheese sauce.
Thanks for your comments everyone

Blueberries

Tsingtao Beer Cans

I just wish I hadn't done the background now as I preferred it white on white, oh well....c'est la vie

Doughnut

I don't normally eat sweet things but I must admit this was really good to eat afterwards. I bought it from the little bun shop on Lamma.

sea and rope

Teabag

A quick one of a detox teabag (Yogi) done whilst drinking strong morning coffee. Hmmmmm....

Tin Shack, Lamma Island

will update the description tomorrow. Happy Sunday...........

When I first moved to Lamma I think this bit of land was still being farmed(vegetable growing). (The area close to it still is) Now, after many years of being neglected the building rubble is getting higher in preparation for a new village or paths to be formed. I just wanted to capture it, more to follow on larger paper. For all you ex-Lammarites it's the little bit on the right before the tofu stand.
More studies to follow.
