The old boy
Thanks to everyone from EDM for their kind comments and encouragement for my blog! I realise that I have posted a lot of pix of Molly so here is one of the old man, Chester (12 years old).
Thanks Sandy, I was afraid people might find it a bit boring as I find it hard to know what to write sometimes! Freebird, the old guy certainly wont let us forget him - he's a real character!
Lovely stuff on your blog. I'm a graphic designer too, though i have to say I was very lazy about sketching when i was young and am enjoying trying to make up now
What can I say? Your work is great! The sketch of Chester is really touching and I especially like the colorful fruit and vegetable from a few posts ago.
My name is Angie Wood and I live on a narrowboat on the beautiful Oxford canal.
A long time ago in the eighties I studied Art and Design at Goldsmiths College and went on to be a paste up artist and then a graphic designer. I’ve never stopped painting and drawing though – I painted pet and animal portraits for a while and over the past two years have begun creating small oil paintings of vintage objects, textiles and flowers. I collect items from fleamarkets to paint and my little narrowboat is getting fuller all the time! I’m particularly delighted by colourful patterns on textiles and ceramics and I also love painting reflective surfaces. I’m usually attracted to items from the early part of the twentieth century, which bring back memories of my great aunts’ and grandmother’s cosy houses. My artistic aim is to pay homage to the things I paint by observing them as closely as I can, and to create something beautiful that will hopefully make people as happy as I was when I was making it!

Thanks Julie, I have actually visited your blog a few times in the past and love the pix of your family.
