Nice sketch. I've been browsing through your blog Annie, how wonderful to live in a boat, do you move around in it too or just stay in one location? I enjoyed your recent painting of your home, lovely pieces.
Thanks Anita number one, I think he's used to it now! Anita D - we have got a residential mooring but we also travel around at weekends and holidays. Last year we travelled 250 miles on the canals! As we can only go at 4 mph it took us 3 weeks!
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!

Your husband is very accomodating!
Wish mine was!
I tried sketching with a pen and could not get anything nearly as effective as your drawings are.
Nice sketch.
