Orchard Street, from memory

My childhood was spent running in and out of these doors, up and down the row of cottages.

Very much on my mind at the moment, not surprising my pencil began this sketch.

My sketch of Mum's Mouse Sketch

Right back to when I was very young, my Mum would draw the most delightful mouse to ornament cards, letters, notes - or just on his own.

Here is my tribute to Mum's mouse, and hoping she may draw many more.

Just recently my sister embroidered it onto some clothing for Mum, a wonderful idea, a great idea of how much this mouse has always meant to us.

Loch Ness Monster

Just had a text from someone I am writing to, they are en-route to Inverness. So I did this sketch mid letter. Now, either this is not Nessie, or Nessie is holidaying in a small lake.

The coach I imagined to be a 1940's rickety bouncy vehicle.

Later in the day I had a few minutes and a post it pad, Nessie was still going round in my mind. So Nessie and the Coach, Mark II.

Will I sketch any more Nessies before this this blog is scheduled to publish at noon Wednesday?

Snow on the Street - for Pa

Before Christmas I started a picture, but with two major events in our lives happening through this time I never got to complete. I think I will keep this half drawn sketch as it is to remind me of when my Pa died.
