May 2005 - Two Australians moved to Tuscany where they planned to live for two years. Two weeks later their dogs, Snowy and Dermott, arrived. Seven years and a property purchase later, they're still here.
I picked up a beautiful dry leaf when walking the dogs the other day. Had a heck of a time trying to render values in this dull foggy light. Though I'd post the sketch anyway. It's amazing how quickly one gets out of practise.
Alina - thank you. That is a very kind comment comming from you. I loved your blog and had to smile at your description of painting in sub-zero temperature.

Lovely drawing! Nice crled edges and great shadow. [Thanks for visiting my blog. :-)]
Belinda - Thank you. Visiting your blog is a daily treat! Your watercolours are magical and your printmaking fascinating.
Love the leaf - both the pencil and the colour version. Are you a member of Everyday Matters group?
Andrea - many thanks for your kind encouragement. I joined the Everyday Matters Group a while back but have been too shy to post to date.
This is just fantastic... to take something as simple as this and turn it into an artwork!
