Tennis Club Presentation

Tennis Club Presentation

Berty looks pleased at receiving her mixed doubles trophy, but does Robert know about the mystery man in her life?

Three times I’ve tried to paint this peacock and each time it just gets worse.  I have never hated a sketch quite as much

These flowers were presented to me recently. The grey smudge round the edge is supposed to be the cellophane


I promised myself I wouldn’t under any circumstances try to paint people, but I couldn’t think of a presentation to do without. So this is a composite of some photos. It is more orange than I intended, something to do with the way I’ve transferred it on to the site.

I thought to paint my cat presenting her tummy, as she usually does when lying on the boiler, but contrary as ever, she stayed resolutely tummy down till I finished painting. I hope I can get away with this (in the same way as Dave’s rooks no longer balanced when he painted them). If I get any better inspiration on the theme, I’ll post it. I’m looking forward to seeing how the rest of you tackle this difficult topic.
