Your on fire Leigh , literally ! this is something very different it's will be interesting to see the end results , your dogs will be hiding under the settee xx :o))

Puna the tigress is one of your best Leigh :-)

Looking forward to the next instalment. You are so busy!!

Don't know why I missed this earlier, Leigh. I love your vision - the garden is so interesting. The black is great - love it! The last photo I saw of the front of your house looked like Sleeping Beauty's castle - I think it is better without the ivy! It's not easy to get rid of, though, is it?

I love your comment about taking the Christmas decs down, Tuesdaybear - that gets a big nod in our household!

Its so good to have you back Nosey, you seem to be on top form again, you certainly have a gift and I hope to see lots more of your wonderful drawings and paintings, I find it really interesting to hear you explain what you do to achieve the end result, I'm no good at anything like that but can appreciate what others do, we have a budding writer and artist in our grandaughter, her stories and paintings are mainly fantasy as that is where her main interest lies at the moment but she's studying and learning all aspects of drawing and painting in her coursework ready for her A levels next year so has to draw and paint many different subjects using all types of techniques and materials, I tease her and tell her I expect her to treat me when she sells her first painting, lol..
You made me smile with your comment " you have to be your own best critic " our grandaughter at only 16yrs old already has that attitude and refuses to submit her drawings and paintings unless they are perfect in her eyes, its definitely not a case of that'll do, lol.......

Terrific Tiger! And creativity in the fireplace....watching to see what you get up to next!

;-) Indeed they are...

Good :-) !

Now that's what I call "interesting"! Keep us posted!

Just revisiting this - I can see that the eyes are special to you - wow!

I know Leigh, like my daighter, you have to wait for the creative ideas to flow.

Puna is looking fantastic, will be interesting to see your fireplace once completed :-)

Leigh I'm thrilled to bits to see you back to your old self and drawing again , the Puma is taking shape very well you have a real talent for doing the eyes ,it's going to be fabulous I'm sure they will be wanting more from you , we are very proud the be the owners of your beautiful Elephant picture xx

Brilliant Leigh, cannot wait to see it.

Please post a picture when you've finished it.

Absolutely beautiful drawings of these magnificent creatures. I will wholeheartedley support this charity. So good that you are back -I don't post very often but I check in most days and I missed your humour and knowledge. Even asked on the question bit whether you were ok (or something like that).

Good to see you back Nosey. Look forward to seeing your new sculpture.

What's your new sculpture gong to be Leigh? ;-)

Ha ha Tuesday, Leighs the inspiration!

I don't think there's any "if" about it, Leigh - she'll be delighted! So glad to hear you are excited about your latest project. It sounds as if there's plenty to keep you busy! :-)

Flog them - put them outside the front of your property sell them or give them away in bundles. Or do you have a local allotment? They'd love them.

Dont go too near that Tiger cage - they have long paws .

so great :-O

That's very true. Thanks for explaining the process; I find it really interesting. By the way, that is how you spell gouache, but no need for excuses anyway. I used to have a boy in my class who really struggled with spelling but wrote the most wonderful, creative pieces of work. He didn't punctuate or use capital letters where needed etc., but if you could just get beyond those issues, his work shone; it was so original. Some people can write and spell correctly, but have nothing interesting to say.

So glad you're drawing again, Leigh. What a beautiful animal and how exciting that you will get to meet her too. It's wonderful work that you're doing with your wonderful gift. Is it painted or have you used a different medium, just curious?

Fantastic Leigh as ever! so pleased you are back on track, good luck with this new venture, lovely that you will get to meet Lady Lainey soon, she is bound to be impressed with your art and a bonus to see Puna for real :o)

Janey, you're a genius. I love your vision!

Sorry NP, I missed this......I'm glad to see you are back to your creative self, with such a brilliant talent as yours Leigh, you'll need time to recharge your batteries now and again.....take care X

Wow NP....fantastic work there! I love the black boundary sculpture, it must take an incredible amount of time and talent to make all the pieces you do. Like Tuesdaybear, I was thinking, hey, if only you could get sponsorship for Chelsea and have an alternative garden, say with poisonous plants, and your black sculptures, the hands coming out reaching for help after eating the plants!
You could have all sorts, Aconite or monkshood...you could have the grim reaper statue striding through a bed of those. Black sculpted foxgloves amongst the real thing, and in the triangular garden, raining down on everything, poisonous golden Laburnum, to contrast with the black. A wall of yellow water, flowing into a yellow stream....yellow fever........crikey, when are you going to start???

Yes NP....back on track.....doing what you love and Puna is stunning, she should be over the moon with her, I hope she pays you well too!
