I was lucky enough to see a black bear in the wild on my recent trip to Canada.
The bear above is a grizzly.
I like the dogs and was working on a fabric design featuring them, but I haven't finished it yet.

Birds and Flowers
A page from my A3 sketchbook. Ink drawing then watercolour. It is only cartridge paper so the paintwork is not brilliant.
Happy Paint Party Friday

Happy Halloween
Day 31 - Doodlewash - Pumpkin
Inktober- Ripe
I saw these beauties in Vancouver
Back home I saw these at Beamish Museum
Shop window decorations at Heathrow Airport
These were seen in the bakery shop window at Beamish Museum
Swedes were used before pumpkins around here.
Pumpkins were expensive and I doubt they were available when I was a child.
More things at Beamish Museum

Elmer
These are the few decorated Elmer's I have seen. Not many considering there are 50 big [like these] and 114 little ones. They are to raise funds for St Oswald's Hospice. You can see the herd here and find out more about the scheme https://www.stoswaldsuk.org/elmer/

Farm Animals and Kaleidoscope
This is one from my A3 sketchbook, highly decorated farm animals, drawn with ink first then painted with watercolours.
An up and coming contest at Spoonflower is entitled kaleidoscope and I was thinking of entering one of these. I prefer the butterflies but does it look like a kaleidoscope pattern?
The original single patterns before making them into repeating patterns.
It's Friday again so I'm linking with Paint Party Friday
