Being a tree man I thought he had a green beard. Easy to paint it another colour but green is more appropriate, to use a currently part misused word appropriately rather than inappropriately or whatever. Love the support to your canopy. The concrete settee looks soooo cosy as well.

Yes it was a compliment NP. I'm glad you now know what an emetic is....

He looks a bit distressed, admittedly, but I rather like him!

Job done then, Leigh!

(I should have added that an emetic is used like a medicine - it's not just something that gives you an upset stomach!)

I think it's because he looks as if he could be regurgitating his plants! (An emetic is something that makes you sick!)

Great artwork NP. What is an emetic? For me an emetic would either be hummus or kidney in onions.

You are one of a kind NP - its brilliant! Not sure why you've given Tree Man an emetic though...

Gosh, Leigh, what a good idea to use perspex. It looks great! I love the figures.

Fantastic idea Leigh I too cant wait to see it complete absolutely love the faces.

its ok :-)

bright ideas, Nosey :-))) can't wait to see the outcome :-)

Good sketches NP. I hope you raise a lot of money for the cause. Your garden is coming along nicely. Always a lot of work involved when you open up the garden. I used to do it once a year.

You've been busy. Hope the open day goes well next month. Your 'old lady' reminds me of my nan :)

Cant wait to see the end result love the garden lady and the dogs looks, as if he s thinking when will it all end lol great paintings what a character in the old ladies face.

wish i was close enough to come to your open day. love the fence. your visitors are in for a treat.

You've made a lot of changes Leigh you are on my calender for the open day I'm sure you'll be ready in time .I don't know what you call the lady next to the spade " Dolly daydream " I like her ! Your new picture is coming along well you always put so much character into a face ... xx

What an ambitious garden refurb! It's starting to look terrific. Your dog in the second picture looks as if he is looking around and saying "What is she up to now?" and "How am I supposed to find that bone I buried?". The pictures are great, best of luck with your open day.

The garden refurb is coming on really well, Leigh! I love the black screen/wall. Your visitors are in for a treat. The drawing of the old lady is excellent.

And it is much appreciated ?

Well, I always have good intentions about these things, Leigh! So far it seems to have been a year of one event after another ( mostly happy, I'm glad to say). I haven't even been on GoY as much as usual. At least I've found time for some gardening, though!

That's very kind of you, Leigh. I might take you up on it!

I imagine retail success could bring its problems. I have heard of people who have been thrilled to get a contract to produce something but who ended up very sorry they had ever started down that road.

Sorry about the slip, NP. I knew it was a tree stump made out of concrete but at the moment of commenting I slipped up! Nevertheless it's a great piece of artwork!

Love it Nosey, brilliant as usual. x

like your recipe NP :o)

I thought it was a man !

That's a great use for an old tree stump, Nosey! :-))

The Gorilla painting looks so real for a moment I thought it was a photograph! I really had to look closely the 2nd time! What a marvellous talent you have for reproducing animals! :-))

Super - as ever. I like youre natural plan of adding age/patina ;-)

She's great!

I hope you get some warm summer weather to enjoy your great outdoors, Leigh!

That's great, and will look even better when it's covered with algae (or whatever). How do you achieve the variation of colour? Is it just shadow?
