Thanks everyone. I do love drawing my two dogs - never get tired of it really. Annie, I have lived on this boat for about a year and contrary to popular belief it is very warm and cosy in the winter.
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!

What a lovely drawing, Annie. I just found your blog from Jennifer's

My dream house would be a narrowboat
on a canal. (S*I*G*H)... How long have you lived on one?

Lovely sketch. Wish I allowed my dog on the couch. Would be a lot easier to sketch her! LOL!!! She's a floor dog for now. Revelle
