..Gone Tomorrow

My hare went for £25. £25!!

Probably £20 of that was for the random eagle that was with it...

  2. I'm sorry you didn't! It was really beautiful, and I'm so sad that it ended up going for so little in a house sale.

    It's a large watercolour and ink drawing, rather than the oils I use in my landscape paintings now. I used to go out sketching in Glasgow in the Botanic Gardens and Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, so my materials had to be portable. It's an exercise in observation, mark-making and materials, but I was a bit limited by the fact that I had to balance my board on my lap, perched on a little stool, with my paints on the floor, whilst people stopped and peered over my shoulder and asked questions!
