Hello and welcome to my blog. So I’ve finally made my own website ( which is why it looks a bit amateurish!). Please bear with me as I make changes and progress on my “journey “.
I live on a smallholding in Derbyshire with assorted animals and husband. (Notice how he comes second !
In my previous life ( before taking early retirement) I was a teacher ( maths), which prepared me for chasing sheep and hens round and counting eggs.
My new love ( obsession?) is art. I work with most media but currently prefer pastels for my animal portraits as I get a more realistic result. Each portrait takes around 12-16 hours to complete.
Yesterday was spent netting the strawberries ( to keep Cyril the squirrel off) and giving one of the chickens a bath as she seemed subdued and quieter than usual- she promptly thanked me by pooing down my front. 🙄
